Hello there!

My husband and I are about to buy a house that has a fairly unattractive (in my opinion) RV/carport that is probably 20'x50' built with a steel frame on a concrete slab that we neither need nor want. We would like to either disassemble it and sell it, OR sell it for less and have the buyer come and disassemble it.
Can anyone tell me how these things are usually attached to a concrete slab and how we might get it out? Looks like bolts, but not sure if they are bolted into an anchor or a fastener. The thing is built to cover an RV so it's very high, I really have no idea how we'd get up there or how we'd take off the "roof". We are planning on removing the slab as well, but will probably hire a subcontractor to do that and haul it off.

Anyone have any useful information about carport (dis)assembly that might be helpful in this endeavor.

Thanks!

Try to take out one of the bolts and you'll know,

It's probably best to let the buyer remove it, for then he will know how it goes back together and can mark the pieces.

An anchor or fastener are basically the same thing.
Some methods include:

1. Lead anchor and lag bolts
2. A stud which operates the same way but is stronger
3. Rivets that are blasted into the ground with gunpowder.

There are other methods, but I doubt they were used. Like a core drill and cementing the posts into place.

It's probably best to let the buyer remove it, for then he will know how it goes back together and can mark the pieces.

PERFECT!! I like to watch people work

Get a waiver signed if the buyer that's taking it down falls.

Put it on Craigslist as free to first person to disassemble and remove.

Where is the carport located? I may be interested in coming to dessasemble it and buy it from you.
