Hi,
Next summer I willl build something to house my B2910. It will winter this year under the roof on the back of the house, with the grill...
Seeing how I don't really want to build a huge barn...but would rather attach something to an existing shed that sits on a springhouse foundation, I think I will limit what I build to something like 16 x20 or so. So I won't have a lot of floor space. And the floor will be crushed stone probably, not concrete.
This lead to the idea of building small roofs to cover various attachments. What I was thinking is to sink a couple posts in the ground, say six feet apart, and using a galvanized fence post as a hinge pin between them. I could build a small roof section to keep the weather off whatever was under this little roof, and counter weight it with some concrete blocks so it would lift up out of the way to allow easy hook up of the implement.
Set the implement back down and swing the roof back horizontal and keep the weather off.
Anybody doing anything like this now? I would probably just build the new part of the shed longer, but there it is near the property line and there is a 25 foot building line regulation.
I guess if anyone complained [which my neighbor won't] I could claim I was storing both the little roofs and the implements where they were...
Thanks for any input. Might be a hair brained idea...not sure...
