psalms83:18 174 #1 Posted September 10, 2016 3 bays 13'long each! Room for plenty of horses! Desperately need to get them out from under tarps! probably gonna do all pallets except for the roof cause we can get snow loads up to 4' thick. But I am thinking what to do cheap for the roof materials.. If anyone has anything in Nh or any creative" ideas! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #2 Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) your on to a good idea with the pallets, for temporary if you could figure how to support them for a roof. you could then throw your tarps over the top and let them drap down the sides. fasten them down with some 1 X or 5/4 just to get your through the upcoming winter. maybe use 2x4 up on end from one side to the other. throw a pallet on top. then cover with tarps. think of a better long term solution through the winter. just thinking out loud. I know were trying to be cost effective. have to put some study on this.. Glenn Edited September 10, 2016 by JERSEYHAWG / Glenn spelling 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glenn That's exactly what I like jerseyhawg thinking out loud! 2 hours ago, AMC RULES said: That's an awesome end result! I was a little lazy though and laid my pallets on their side so I don't have great strength as 2x4 on end. But I can go back and add supports, and the pallets were 8' long and I didn't need a 8' high wall on the low side. Seeing those videos does give me some good ideas on how to do some finish work on them. i did however keep the pallets from touching the dirt I kept them on bricks and blocks to slow down the rot. Then I'll use the c-175 with the plow to smooth out inside the bay's. not sure if I'm going to do a front wall or maybe use tarps that can roll up something like what jerseyhawg thought of. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abe01 61 #5 Posted September 10, 2016 When I built my hen house, and my hog hits, I put the pallets verticly and tied them together via the 2x4 runners. On the second course I put a scab piece of wood between then like a post it was mabey 18" long to tie the top and bottom together, then I used 2x6 rafters just a simple tie in. It's 7 foot tall and strong enough to walk on. Check your local hardware store ask if they have any "cull" wood (that's what we call it in texas) it's the stuff that's warped or cracked or some how deformed so they can't sell it.....they dang near give it away. Also keep an eye out on CL for free tin, or if your up to it sometimes people will post buildings (sheds) they need torn down and you can keep the materials and use them.

WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #13 Posted October 14, 2016 Job well done, but an FYI on a budget a carport (18'w X 21'L X 5' tall at the sides) can be bought and installed for $600+/- , and the hardest part is writing the check you can then add your siding or leave open I got mine with 2 sides closed and one end gabled for $1200 installed, plus they can be optioned for heavier snow loads, Jeff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best thing about it is it's sooo smooth no sticky spots or dropping loose spots. The idea was to be able to lift a whole tractor all the way in the air to be able to work on it at a good comfortable height and sharpening blades without taking deck off.... and carrying heavy pieces of metal to the forge that's in the corner! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACman 7,510 #24 Posted October 29, 2016 If you can get ahold of some rubber roof membrane it's the best stuff ever . 8' wide in a huge roll . One of the perks of doing commercial construction in the past . One other thing to consider is old billboard adds . These new ones are one piece huge tarps . Usually pretty cheap . Roofers around here use them to cover up exposed roofs . Find a add installer to see what they do with the old ones . Great cheap storage by the way . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BESTDOGEVER 218 #25 Posted October 29, 2016 The rubber roofing is a super idea it has a 50 year life span on a flat surface and that is updated regularly as they test existing projects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
