SteveB Posted April 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2009 Yesterday we had a freak wind storm come through and turned over our carport that was housing our bike. Luckily, it did no damage to the bike, but not sure how we're going to flip this thing back over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted April 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 5, 2009 I think you are going to need a lot of guys to help flip that back up. Glad no damage to your bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted April 5, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2009 I see a big tree. You have a winch or a come-along? Glad the bike survived it. I have 3 foot stakes anchoring my carport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flb_78 Posted April 5, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 5, 2009 No way would that have lasted here in the Panhandle. We had 60-70mph winds yesterday. Broke telephone poles off, and ripped a couple of roofs off some places. If you want to keep it around here, it has to be anchored very well.

That is what we had anchoring it down also, I think that we are going to use concrete piers the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOO Posted April 5, 2009 Share #6 Posted April 5, 2009 I'd call the insurance company and ask them how THEY are going to flip it back over. Your pretty lucky though, didn't hurt the bike. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnightventure Posted April 5, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 5, 2009 I had a big tree fall on mine in the big ice storm and the insurance co. gave me 2000 for it. I had only paid 850 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eazyduzzit Posted April 5, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 5, 2009 I finished building my barn in '07, week before last a tree fell on it and wrecked the roof. Insurance paid, but I'm still sick over it. I put a lot of work into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
