Re: Parking below a mango tree, tips

If this were mine, I would slowly build a shed that could double as a small workshop... Kung ikaw naman ang titira at gagamit, an investment should be worth it.

id go for the lowly tolda...

how long do you intend to stay there bro? kung mga 5 years, eh sulit na din siguro 10K investment sa DIY or commercial parking canopy.

kung 1 year lang, eh mag car cover na lang and trim mango tree branches every so often.

I actually dont know yet. The plan is to try living in LP to see how it was there. This will help us decide later on whether to buy house there or not. Siguro I can estimate 2 yrs.. kng mgustuhan namin at ibenta ng mayari baka bilhin namin (kung may budget hehe).

I would love to do that only if its my own house coz I also plan to make a tool shed. Wala kasi space sa loob mga tools ko. Its really a small house with one room. Nagustuhan ko lang space sa labas. At last may space na ko for my hobby. 😀

Re: Parking below a mango tree, tips

Doms, if you're considering some thing that's cheap yet sturdy, consider buying any of the ready made collapsible tents that are readily available. Your apprehension though is that the cover might not be sturdy enough to resist falling mangoes.

A cheap solution that I can think of is to install plastic nets. These are the plastic net (mesh) version of the chicken wire and are available in ordinary hardware stores. It comes in small, medium, and large perforations and are very cheap. A medium one will do. Install it to the roof frame of the tent before putting on the trapal cover. You can cut the plastic net to shape and fasten it by loop tying its sides to the tubular frame of the roof.

I hope this helps.

Re: Parking below a mango tree, tips

hihihi.....nakascore ako ng scaffolding clamps sa junkshop. puno ang dalawang 6 liter na wilkins. good for 1 inch pipe i think yung size nya. about 15 pcs ayon sa eyeball estimate ko. di ko pa binilang. madudumi pa eh. diko na maalala kung magkano sya exactly kasi kasama sya sa ibang angulars na binili ko rin sa junkshop.

tolda at pipes na lang may makeshift garage na pickup ko. ipon pa. hehe

Re: Parking below a mango tree, tips

@mike,

Scaffolding pipe clamps is good for 1 1/4" & 1 1/2" size pipe. The're 2 types of clamps the fixed & swivel type. If you have swivel clamps you need to have diagonal cross braces to make you post sturdy. If those clamps are swivel type and you will be using it for a makeshift garage you need around 24 pcs (I think) including the clamps for the braces. Pero kung fixed clamp konti lang kailangan mo.

Big investment will be for the pipes. 1 1/2" GI Pipe cost P680/length (20 ft).
