run in shed

[Dongerosa]

I was thinking about building...but ended up using/buying a steel unit from these guys. If you call them they are really helpfull on what you want to do...and have many options on frame work height, number of frame works (for heavy snow loads, siding, ect. Check out the webs sight, visit someone that has the carport with the $799 sign...they are all over, at lease the N. OH area, or call 866.358.3999 Open Carport Style - American Steel Carports, Inc. | Steel Carports I purchased an 18 X 21 with 7 ft wall option and siding to the ground. one end is 1 inch away from an existing building, only one end is open. I used poly tarps on this end to out the wet and white stuff. 2006 price $1400 buck, and it took two guys less then 3 hours to do. DONE! I'm really pleased with mine. you would think I'm a sales for this outfit...but I'm not just really happy with the product and service...and so far the performance.

Now, you can't say you built it! Can't say it the prettiest build! But it will keep the rain and snow off the equipment.

It's an option!

My plan is to build a three sided shed to park my tractor in and store some other things. My original plan was to make it 30 feet wide with posts at ten feet. Then I was going to make it 12 feet deep. I've changed my mind and will be making it 16 feet deep.

30x16 should be good for parking and storing items out of the elements and still be affordable.

I have a 12'X14' with doors on it . Will hold my 1715 N/H farm tractor , MTD garden tractor , two lawn mowers & rototiller . But you can't gat anything else in . My emplemts stay outside . Build as big as you can afford to at least 16' wide. What part of WV are you from. I am about 3 miles south of Huntington .

I park my 2 BX1500s in a 12W by 22L stall .
Wish it had a door on both ends.
Digging out the one in the front to get to the one in the back got old real fast.

Dongerosa, how much snow do you get? We had 22" on the ground the 1st of the year than it rained. In our area there was 4 sheds that I know of, that the roof caved in. On guy had major damage to his truck. They will work if you keep the snow off.

kcpresision, Sorry to here about the people that had problems. Did they purchase the structure for the snow loads you get? If they did I think I would be asking some questions.

To awnser your question on how much snow do I get. This year we had 18 - 20 inches on the ground at one point. This is not typicial however for N. Ohio. Winter of 2007 I had a 4 foot tall drift on the one end...it really deflected the frame 4 -5 inches. I know this because of the bent conduit running into the main building. Maybe that's what save it from going down?

Before purchasing, snow load was one of my concerns, in addition to wind blowing it away. The factory guy said they have these all over the US without any problems, if they are configured for the load. But this is sales talk!

Dongerosa,I don't know what snow load the sheds were rated for.
We have a friend that needed a shed. She and I talked about what would be good, so she purchased a shed that had the ribs running parallel with the pitch of the roof.

If it had not been for her close neighbors checking her home while she was absent she would have lost the shed this year.

I don't know what would be good but I know those sheds are not good where you can get a lot of real heavy snow loads.

Now back to the run in shed. Sorry about the side track.

Eddi with a three sided structure will you have more problems with snakes hiding in the barn? I was just wondering if a closed structure would keep them out?

Not sure you can get an equipment shed tight enough to keep out all the snakes. Especially ones with two legs.
