New Tractor Shed

[Texas Dodge]

Well I got my new tractor shed installed this morning. The guys only took 40 minutes to install it. I am going to get 5ft galv posts for the corners and middle on both sides to cement in the ground and then bolt through the posts and galv tubing to anchor it down better. Then I am installing 3 treated posts in the back along with getting the same metal as the roof from MetalMart to enclose the back and sides.

Wow, pretty cool.
And only 40 minutes to put it up, man it takes me longer than that to brush my teeth. Those guys are fast!
You mentioned enclosing the back, are you going to do the sides as well?

OK -- so you get the back and sides enclosed.... now ya gotta have lots of hooks and things to hang stuff on ....which means you may want to just put up wood walls all the way around.....then there's the doors that will need to be added for security and to keep the rain out a bit .... You just gettin' started ...git er done..... sure is a handy way to get started though. looks good.

The back side where the back of the tractor is and the long sides for right now. The open front side faces the south and most of our weather we get comes from the northwest.

Yep I still have lots to do, but it will take time.

Nice!

I'm in Texas(Grimes County), too. Can you provide the dealer who sold it, etc.

Thanks

I bought two of those for extra storage, I went with a foot taller on both of them and I used stockade fence around three sides, works great

This is who I had it ordered through. http://www.tntcarports.net/ The guys who did the install came out of Temple.

Up here in Washington state you would have to pay about $1000 + (9% extra in taxes for the same thing. Ten years later you'd have a big rusty steel shed to look at thanks to our liquid sunshine. Yours looks good, I won't show it to my tractor for jealousy reasons. Doug

Some updated pics from this evening. Got my 6 post holes dug so I can anchor the shed down better. They use some really wimpy anchors.

Not even a little peek?

Got the galv pipe installed this evening and cement in the holes. Wait a couple of days for the cement to get hard, fill in the holes, and then cut the bolts back.

Looks really nice. I've been eyeing those for my tractor and work car. Up here, they seem to start at around $1000 for a double car.

Good idea on the concrete anchors.

I knew that was a T-N-T carport as soon as I saw the truck. It's deja-vu seeing your pictures, mine was up in less than an hour too. On mine I went with the 7ft sides because of my cab and I wanted to park my dump truck in it as well.

Here is my thread from when I got mine.

Not that you have to worry about it but they hold there snow very well and are a very sturdy made carport.

Yep not much to have to worry about here. Of course it did snow here Christmas eve 2004.

I've got some of those pics from Angleton ... I was up early Christmas a.m. and went outside before the rest of the family, walked around with a yard stick taking measurements, averaged them, then called the office with the info. That is now the "official" snowfall for Angleton. (I work for NWS).

Finally got around to working on the tractor shed. The heat around here is intense. Saturday got the posts installed at the back.

Then today got most of the sides up.

Very Nice! I will be enclosing the back and sides of mine too before the winter. It keeps the snow out and I need it as a paint booth for painting my old dump truck.
