Cort,
Totally scratch built. I used 4X4 posts 8' OC. I wrap the 4x4 with 2X4's and 2X6's for added strength. The sides are of course 2x4's. Bottom areas 2x10's, pressure treated. The rafters 2x6's pressure treated. Used stainless steel screws 3 inch in length for attaching everything. Metal roof called Pro-Panel. All material at your HD. Roof built on frame section that sits on-top of rafters. Ridge vent only attached at ends, need to get up the courage and straddle the roof and screw it in.
Metal screws on roof started with a nail. Then drill in to set the screws. I worked from the inside laying the panels.
The sides panels are T-111. Used 22 sheets. Top rear area is clear plastic sheets. On the second floor.
One man job, every weekend, averaged about 8 hours a day since July-mid-July. No plans, just layed out a rectangle in my
head and centered everything. No cuts on any wood other than the rafters. Angles only. The door with be a regular hinge type on one side, with a slider on the other where the support beam is. Need to scratch build that too.
Carried everything by hand to site, which is off on the side of our house in the woods.
I am not a carpenter but can use a hammer with difficulty and a circular saw with some accuracy.
Measuring everything three or four times helped. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

If the weather breaks I'll get more pics. The inside is 21a crush. About three S-10's so far, with maybe two loads to go.
The posts are all set in concrete, of course. If I can figure out how to get concrete back there, I might tackle that too. Why not? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
