|
|
I wanted a year round boat shed as what I had I had to travel through
some serious wetland in the winter time so I came up with a canopy from
a canopy contractor in Salem Or. I added my own tin to the sides
after they left and now have a good cover from the rains of the northwest.
I put pictures under Lois H in the Ranger photo section. I admit I am
afraid of posting pictures but "got er done". Size is 18 wide and 26 deep
and to do over would have gone 20 wide. So no more four wheel drive
and ruts in and out of the boat shed and winter time boating will be more
fun.

One thing at a time, I did real good for me just getting them on the
photo page so will hold off trying to do it in the thread. We all appreciate
you all moving them over. I am getting mail so will just say
type in West Coast Metal Buildings inc into Google.

Can I ask $$ you have into the shed ?

The basic shed was a little over two thousand and the tin I horse traded
for but on the price list it shows around 1300 extra for the sides and
back. I had to make it taller to get the radar inside and went for heavy
metal on the supports as it can snow here once in a while. I did invest
in a drill driver from the traveling Cummins tool sale and is not the best
quality but made by Ryobi and lasted long enough to get the job done
but would not want to use it every day for a living as it would die.
Kinda a long winded answer eh!

The shelter looks great! I built a similar one, same 26' length and a bit narrower (14'?) from "Eagle System Shelter". The poles erected nicely but those 26 ft. long enamel steel roofing pieces were hard to lift up there. It was raining and cold (slick) one day and my wife was pushing up on one from below while I pulled from above. The metal got away from me and fortunately she ducked and it sliced hard right where here head had been, nearly decapitating her. After that we used safety lines (2) at all times and lifted only from above. You didn't mention pouring any concrete footings but I'm sure you did. We went with six huge ones (several hundred lbs. each) since our area is subject to strong wind and we don't want it sailing away. My boat spent about one winter in there and then "wholla" a covered slip in the marina became available after 2 1/2 years and so now our boat stays there most of the time. If I have a moderate to larger project I need to do on the boat, I still put it in the shelter for easy access in both time and tools. I only roofed mine since the adjacent garage wall blocks most of the weather. If I do end up putting on walls, I'll use a piece of translucent panel so daylight can come in but still provide privacy. Now I use it as another outbuilding for parking the John Deere mower in, the smaller 12 ft. fishing boat, the dirt bike, some firewood etc. CW _________________ "The West is the Best...

Looks great. Good job on the sides. We bought one similar a while back (18 x 21 x 12). I was going to get the standard a-frame until I saw the bent bow style and quickly decided on that. We got it enclosed right away after seeing how it looked in the builder on the website of where we got it. With back and sides, I think it was a little over 3K. |

nice job!
Do you have an electrical outlet on power line post?
Is it built on top of a footer? _________________ Brent Barrett |

Nice job!
I put a very similar shed up about 22 years ago, and it still looks great--(I sold the house and that shed is still being used for boats). Withstood 4 major hurricanes. _________________ Bob Austin

Am I the only one to find that it's odd that a 1st time poster resuscitated an 8 year old post and added a link to a website about metal buildings? I call SPAM.
