@riptides Thanks! That looks like a really well thought through and executed design.

Lucky horses!

All the best,

Peter

I didn't really find any plans online. I looked at some pictures I found online and a rafter load chart. Where I'm at we are recommended for a 10-20 lb/ sqft snow load. I opted for 2X8 beams and 2x6 rafters. With just over 11' span, that gave more load safety than required. 1/12 pitch should be fine. Got about 1/2 done over the weekend. It's probably not done how it should be but that's the best I could come up with without experience.

Using a billboard "tarp" temporarily until metal comes in. Hopefully I can get the rest of the framing done next weekend. For now it's going to just be a roof. I will probably close in 3 sides later. I also may expand it by a bay later.

In a large part of the world, I'm considered an expert shed designer and builder.

What do you want to know?
