covered parking prices

[Travis Heppe]

I'm collecting bids for putting a steel structure over a parking lot in my newly acquired apartment complex, and thought the community might like to see some of the prices I've been quoted.  For a linear array of 14 spaces, including installation, I was quoted about $28k for full cantilever (posts at the very end) or about $25k for semi-cantilever (posts offset from the end by 7.5'.  Semi-cantilever is less expensive, because it doesn't need to have quite as much strength to offset the huge leverage at the very end of the structure.
