One inch of drop per 10 ft on broom finish concrete is considered by many to be the bare minimum for water run off.

Unless your using standing seam metal roofing then 3 / 12 pitch is considered minimum due to seams leaking.
Under 3 / 12 pitch metal roof down to 6 inches per 12 foot pitch the seams should be caulked to prevent leaking.
Under 6 inches per 12 foot not recommended unless its standing seam which can go down to 3 inches per 12 foot.

Ice issues and melting snow refreezing would concern me greatly under 2 /12 and no way I would go under 1 /12 even with seams caulked.

Keep in mind there is a variety of “caulking” for metal roofs that comes in tape like form.

What Redlands Okie said. The caulking Redlands Okie mentions is a sticky butyl rubber tape - stretchy and long lasting. Here's one source, there are many.

I agree with the previous comments about storing implements under cover. I have trouble moving them around my shop and have already broken a Harbor Freight dolly. I built this dolly to store my pallet forks and loader bucket [attached] (photos open upright) and modeled it after this product [Fork and Bucket dolly Storage Solutions ]. I made it heavier to accommodate larger implements.

Please tell me they have not opened a Harbor Freight in Walla Walla. I sold my house there a few years back but still like the place and have many friends there. I miss Stone Soup, Maple Counter, The New York Store (man cave clothing store), Mill Creek Brew Pub and the climate.

I agree that the threads concept of a long narrow equipment shed as the most convenient.

Welcome to TBN, Chip! Headed to Walla Walla next weekend. To see friends and of course drink some wine. It is the unknown little sister to Napa.

Nice DIY dolly! I need to build a couple for a few things now that I have forks!

I am thinking of building a three sided shed for my skid steer and tractor implements. My thoughts are 100 long, 12 deep, and 7 high. The length I am pretty set on but am unsure on depth and height. I have shops for my machines and they won稚 go in the shed it will strictly be for implements. I am somewhat constrained on the depth of it due to the location but the height could be anything. On one hand I think maybe make it taller because I might want to fit something else in there but then I think the shorter it is with the relatively shallow depth and open front the better it will protect the implements from the weather. Thoughts?

Why 7ft high? 8 feet seems more common.

I went 12 feet deep on my storage area and it's OK, but when I do it again, I'm going 16 feet deep. I built 2ft shelves along the back of it, and when considering walking space, that took four feet off of my depth. I park my mower, log splitter and Kawasaki Mule in there, and they all sit right at the edge of the roof line. When it rains, they all get wet. Ideally, I would like for everything in there to remain dry, and not having storage shelves doesn't make any sense to me.

Yep, I built a leanto 16ft deep and wish I'd went 20.....

The only reason for the low height is to minimize the weather coming in since it will have an open front. I have been under tall structures with open sides and the rain and sun make it a long way in.

I will have no shelves in this. I have three other fully enclosed shops. It will be strictly for implements/ attachments.
