Confirm the location of your carport and drive a peg into the ground to mark one corner. Measure a distance of  \n6.0 m in one direction – this will be the long side of the carport, so ensure that you have the side aligned in your preferred direction. drive a peg into the ground to mark the second corner. Measure out 3.0 m at right angles to the second peg and mark the ground with a temporary mark and then mark out another 3.0 m temporary mark at right angles to the first peg. Check that the distance between the two temporary marks along the length of the carport is 6.0 m (see Figure 1) .  \n2. You will now have a 6.0 m by 3.0 m rectangle marked on the ground with two corners marked by pegs and two with temporary marks. To confirm that the rectangle is accurately marked out, measure diagonally from each peg to the temporary marks at the opposite corner – these dimensions need to be the same, so adjust the temporary marks until the diagonal dimensions are equal and drive a peg into the ground in place of the temporary marks. double check your measurements to ensure that the distance between each peg at each side of the rectangle is 6.0 m and the width of the proposed carport is 3.0 m (Figure 1) .  \nposts  \n3. The structure has three posts along each of the long sides, cast into concrete footings. You will need to dig  \n900 mm deep x 400 mm diameter or 400 mm square holes at each corner peg and another hole midway up the sides of the carport in line with the corner holes. use the corner pegs as the mark for the centre of the post holes and run a string line up the side to align the central hole and mark it with a peg. (Figure 1)  \n4. Cut six 100 x 100 mm timber posts to 3.55 m in length and after placing 100 mm concrete in the bottom of the holes, insert the posts and brace them vert","cbCaieHwdqfnFQOF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieHwdqfnFQOF","pdf",250158,"English","# Before you begin building\n# Planning your carport\n## Materials\n# Construction\n## Confirming the location and set-out\n## Posts\n## Beams","[{\"question\":\"What should you confirm with local authorities before starting a carport build?\",\"answer\":\"Confirm the intended carport height, type, and location comply with local planning and building rules, and whether building or resource consent is required.
