Mobile loafing shed

[wroughtn_harv]

There are two different ninety degree brackets. One is a square cut for joints like the post purlin. The other is cut to allow for inside of purlin to purlin connecting.

There are a couple of different ways to span the twenty one feet. I decided a back to back double purlin front to back would be stronger than trying to either span it with a support purlin under the purlins.

hey HARVE: was just wondering if it would not more practible , to build a couple of sheds? then he could move the livestock according to the weather! or would it be to cost prohibitive?

Then it was a simple matter of putting on sheet metal.

Here's from another angle

We ran out of daylight.

Later this week we'll put the roof on. Then we'll put on all the trim work. I'll keep taking pictures.

First. This is rented land. It's only about an acre of pasture. The abuse of two horses during the wet season would be very destructive.

I've built these before for men who had more land and could have afforded the cost of multiple sheds. But their logic always was about moving the damage if possible.

These are not cheap. There's a thousand dollars in materials in one of these. And remember, there's labor. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
