Well looks like only one went up. The other side is similar but on grade and in lieu of the 4x4's are small conc. footings that the 2x6 is attached to. A concrete slab would be nice, but this works.

Hey Road tripper, Thanks! I added the other one. IMG_3824-1 by P. Michael Grayum, on Flickr What is under the gravel and how deep is the gravel. Can you post a wide shot picture of the entire trailer and pad? If your having trouble posting the pix, don't worry about it. If you can get it up on Flicker, I can add it here, if it helps. Cheers, Rod

Here is the whole thing. Gravel is just on grade about 2" thick to 12" thick at deepest to make parking area somewhat level across the wheels. Just get a load of 3/4 minus road base from your local quarry or batch plant. Road base packs down nice and hard. If your spot is already level you can just spread 2 or 3 inches of gravel perfectly flat and the bottom steel tube can set on it with long bars driven through. IMG_3708 by

I am leaning towards a carport like the one pictured above, but I need to check city codes. Thanks for the how you would use gravel if level. That's kind of my situation.
Thanks, again.
Rod
