Fabric tractor shed

   / Fabric tractor shed #11  
Set up one some years back, it lasted about two months when a wind storm picked it up and over the shop. Ended up against the lath house gazebo about a hundred feet away.
I repurposed the frame into my current greenhouse. Needless to say, anchored much more securely than a few small tent pins than it originally came with.

There are different qualities of tent like structures. And, there are different extremes of Mother Nature due to snow and wind etc. Mine is over three years old now and is holding up well even in some 70 mph winds with severe hail. I bought it because I could install it all by myself and not spend a bundle of time or money doing it. Its the best that ShelterLogic makes, 12 x 8 x 20. 003.JPG002.JPG003.JPG117.JPG
Cheers,

I will be buying a steel carport. A-frame 20x21x10 installed for under $2000. Down the road I can side it and add doors if desired. All I need to do is provide a flat and level base.

I built a small one for my Ford N. I've read that people buy a tarp and cover the thing to keep the sun from destroying it - much cheaper than buying a new shell from manufacturer every couple years.

When the top ripped, I installed the metal siding/roofing and it really stiffens the hoop structure.

nice. did you just use some self taping screws? I like this a lot.
The screws are the self drilling and tapping ones with the seal under the head. I pre-drill with a regular bit then drive in the screw. To tell where to drill, just push on the metal to feel for the metal tubing underneath. You just have to figure out the layout of the panels and get the seams right. Note: the hoops have to be much straighter and level with the metal than the fabric.
