Do You Have a Tractor Shed/Barn?

[chris the wrench]

Just following. Looking at these steel tube shed kits for camp property use.

Have you found any that are specifically suited for high snowloads? Whats your ground snow load, i imagine its high? We are 108psf. Ive been looking at the versatube and competitors, they say they will design for any snow load but im still leaning toward a wood frame since that is what I know and do.

We did ask a builder that very same question. We are looking at 150psf if the construction ends up in a lake zone. But we have looked some that are not in it..

I built this over the summer to hold implements. I looked at the investment I have in implements and felt it was not good to have them sitting in the hot sun/covered in snow all winter. I plan to enclose 3 of the sides next spring.
It is only partially filled in this photo.

I have an RV shelter that the tractor sits in.

The RV shelter looks like one of those tube frame kits. If so, how was it to assemble?

I know you get some snow up your way, did you source the kit?
What is the size of that implements cover?

Very nice build on that implement shed!!

It was a pre-fab kit. I purchased it with installation included. The pros got it done in about a half-day, maybe 3/4 of a day. would have taken me considerably longer. Plus I did not have to walk around on the structure like this.

It is 24 wide x 35 long x 12 high. I can get the 32 foot RV in it as well as my tractor, boat and two small utility trailers.

The implement cover is 40 feet long by 10 feet wide. I wanted to add a few more bays but ran out of room.

I do worry about the snow load on the RV shelter. if I see more than 2-3 feet building up I go knock it off.

Do you know that the snow PSF is?
