Re: shelters/temp. garages
 

Ok guys here it is....No there are no sides, mine is as you can see next to a smaller shed and then a shed over my cleaning table and freezer so there is no need for sides. It also has an 16 inch overhang on each side. It gets a leaf or two blown under during a BAD storm, but no water at all. For a few more bucks you could add some tin on each side . You may also go with treated or even white latice sides down 4 foot on each side. This may please the Mrs. a little more as well. ;)

I forgot to figure in a few 2x4s for angled bracing and for securing the trusses.

Note on the right side I left the overhang open because this spring I will be extended the shed out over the little boat. The little shed was already there and was just something I threw together with scraps when we first bought the place. I want to redo it to match the pitch of the large one and make it look nicer. :)

One other thing I will be doing is running an overhead waterline up one of the 4x4s and onto the middle truss. I will have a curly retractable hose overhead for cleaning out baby after a day on the water. This helps to prevent dragging a hose all over the place and scuffing up sweet thing too. ;)

Captbent, THAT is as good as it gets! ;D

Re: shelters/temp. garages
 

THAT LOOKS NICE, I WOULD LIKE TO HERE THE RAIN UNDER THERE ;D

Re: shelters/temp. garages
 

Not as nice as yours!!! :)

Hell you could just pull yours around under cover for giggles in bad weather. Tow her around and warm up the bearings! ;D

Re: shelters/temp. garages
 

that's some shelter you got there Cap, how long did it take you to build that? Stinky, that looks good what you got goin on there BUT, I know it's no concern for you southern boys, I've gotta think about the occasional 15"-18" of wet snow. At about 10 lbs. per sq. ft., suddenly you've got nearly two tons of a norton crusher on its way.

Re: shelters/temp. garages
 

Pitch it steeper, deck it and shingle it! :D

With snow in the mix that is an entirely different story, I didnt think about that. ::)

my v-20 is in a greenhouse that was built just for my boat. with a roll up tarp for the door. i just back the boat and trailer in and thats it. the plastic is good for 5 years at $200 for new plastic. the house is 30 ft long fits my20ft boat perfectly. bb

Re: shelters/temp. garages
 

dont know where you are BB,but if you're up north, does it stay reasonably warm inside during the winter?

Re: shelters/temp. garages
 

i am in willaiamstown nj. 35 miles fro ac and 45 min from the del bay. it has not froze in there yet this season. it will though if it gets real cold. my plastic is white so it does not get hot in the summer months, but of it was clear plastic it prob would not freeze in there . it would take much less sun to heat it up. a small heater would stop it from freezing to. there are two layers of plastic to help to insulate. if you would like a picture let me know i can email but cant put it on the site. bb

Re: shelters/temp. garages
 

BB I'm here in Nj also, what do you mean a green house you put up for the boat, I'm curious on cost where you got it from etc.
