Temporary Structure

[grnmtnboys]

The more I look at the prices of winter ready structures, the more it seems I should just get off my duff and build the side roof, whatever you call it, off the barn.

Thanks folks

That sounds about right. If you know you are going to build the side roof, may as well do it and skip the temporary shelters.

Around here, we call those side roof things a "lean-to".
I have one planned for the back wall of my shop, but the shop roof height makes it too low for the tractor with the ROPS up. So... A lean-to for attachments & the ATV & a portable shelter for the tractor & backhoe attachment.
There are good sturdy shelters to be found, but they aren't cheap. I ordered one today. A "round top", 12' X 28' with a 10' plus door height... $850.00 CDN. Still, a lot cheaper than a wooden pole structure with steel roof.
With a second (white or other reflective) tarp over the cover, the salesman said I could get 7 years out of it, at least, before needing to replace the cover. We'll see about that, I suppose...
If you're interested, I'll get the manufacturers name for you.
The cover is very sturdy looking with a reflective silver/grey layer on the outside surface.
