New Tractor Shed

Texas Dodge · 06-02-2008, 09:49 PM

Well I got my new tractor shed installed this morning. The guys only took 40 minutes to install it.

I am going to get 5ft galv posts for the corners and middle on both sides to cement in the ground and then bolt through the posts and galv tubing to anchor it down better. Then I am installing 3 treated posts in the back along with getting the same metal as the roof from MetalMart to enclose the back and sides.

Wow, pretty cool.
And only 40 minutes to put it up, man it takes me longer than that to brush my teeth.

Those guys are fast!
You mentioned enclosing the back, are you going to do the sides as well?

OK -- so you get the back and sides enclosed.... now ya gotta have lots of hooks and things to hang stuff on ....which means you may want to just put up wood walls all the way around.....then there's the doors that will need to be added for security and to keep the rain out a bit .... You just gettin' started ...git er done.

.... sure is a handy way to get started though. looks good.

The back side where the back of the tractor is and the long sides for right now. The open front side faces the south and most of our weather we get comes from the northwest.

Nice!

I'm in Texas(Grimes County), too. Can you provide the dealer who sold it, etc.

Thanks

I bought two of those for extra storage, I went with a foot taller on both of them and I used stockade fence around three sides, works great
