    Good notes. Yeah a lotta places have to have been grandfathered in well under what existing code is. Thanks for the scary stories. Very helpful to hear. Can see how very quickly one simply has a house rule of no covered parking. A little extra walking never hurt anyone.

    clearance height

    Great thoughts, appreciated. Hadn't had the ferry considerations as front of mind, that's helpful. I too am in OR. Code for parking garages in OR is 7ft, but plenty in pdx must be grandfathered in at less. Meanwhile CA code is 8ft. I imagine every state is / could be different. All super...

    diy ply / foam panels

    Hi all - I am new to the space. Thanks to everyone for contributing. I am finalizing plans to proceed with a fairly generic wedge style oversized canopy for the back of my midsize Xtra cab 6.5ft bed pickup. I will be making my own panels save for the roof, which will be a hard tonneau cover off...
