Default Re: Yet another shed project.

I lucked out on the 4x6's. My B-I-L and another local farmer were ordering several of those big bundles and were getting a volume discount from some lumber yard in Camden. So I got them (14') for $15 each, which is much cheaper than Home Depot and Lowes. Lowes did not have them in stock, but Home Depot did, at least they had 12' and 16'. HD is on my hitlist so I'm not doing business with them (long story), but you may want to check there as they do have the longer ones you can buy individually.

I'm buying my roofing today and the rest of the lumber. I don't think I'll finish this weekend, but we might get everything up except the metal roof.

Will post pictures on Sunday.

I think mine is engineered to handle decent snow loads, but you might need to research that carefully as you are far more likely to get snow loads than I am. We might get a few inches every few years down where my property is, but that's it.
