Harbor Freight Portable Garage Reinforcement Test Results
I noticed a few failures of the portable garage and after putting my framework together I noticed it could use some more structure. I had thought that adding a horizontal bar at the base of the rafters would keep the rafters from spreading but I wanted some measurements to confirm things. I used a container weighing 50 pounds and hung it from the rafters peak for the test to simulate what snow would do to the roof if it built up. Adding the horizontal bar did stop any spreading of the rafters.
