tractor/ wood shed

[displacedPA]

While waiting on my B2320 I decided to build a 16x16 lean two off the back of my current shed. The plans are to store one cord of fire wood under the 4 foot overhang. Then the tractor and implements under the remainder. The post are set now going to pick up the lumber and sheeting... here is a pic of the posts.

think I fixed the pictures here ya go... this is last weekend working on the posts. I will bring the area up to grade once the shed is built

Since you are in the early days of construction, thought I would share this. I had a lean to shed, which I planned to store my tractor in, but in the end I put up doors to enclose it. I did this for several reasons, kept the squirrels out (they eat the wiring on my neighbors 60 dollar tractor), keep out some of the mice, we get heavy fogs and the tractor would be all wet in the morning and since me and about 50,000 other people have a key to my tractor at least now there is a lock on the door.

I used T1-11, because that was already on the other 3 sides. If I had no shed I would have used metal at least here there is a place that will cut the metal sheets to length. Hopefully, the place you are getting the sheeting from do as well.

Keep the pictures coming.

That is good advice, more than likely when funds allow I will add sides..
my Father is recomending the same thing... In the mean time The new bota will at least be out of the rain and hail storms we seem to get around here.

T1-11 will match the rest of the shed so looks like thats the route I will be taking.. It might sit with no sides until fall..

Feel free to say you know this already.

On the thinner T1-11, I suggest you only space your 2X4s 1 foot apart, this will avoid them wrapping. On the thicker T1-11 you can get away with 2 foot apart. Make sure water cannot get in above or below as they will start to come apart. Paint the inside as well as the outside. This will help keep moisture from getting inside in. If you or your dad was in the military, Lowes gives 10% off. Need a military id or DD-214. At least by me the thinner T1-11 is almost $24 a sheet.

T1-11 is good.
Hardie Board is better.

here is what we got done last evening... note some of the boards are just supports to hold everything square while we are building it. the hard part is done now. have to add the rest of the intermidiate boards, then sheet it and figure out what kind of roofing material I should use. any thoughts??

I was going to encourage you to keep the sides open for awhile and test it. I did an 18x12 enclosed. But with my tractor I note that I have to move 627 items to get to the thing in the back. So I just added another 18x12 lean-to and kept it open so I can have access to all the attachments without moving everything.

If you or your dad was in the military, Lowes gives 10% off. Need a military id or DD-214. .

Unless the policy has changed the Military discount is done once or twice a year unless the veteran is disabled with VA ID then the 10% discount is every day.

I'd use metal roofing which is what I use on storage building. One you don't have to sheath with wood and the frame cane be on 48" (2x6's)centers with 24" (2x4) cross braces. Use one opaque sheet on the roof and the inside will be light when you close in sides which some times leads to closing in ends.
Metal will be a little higher but when you figure in speed of completion, lifting sheathing and shingles and less wood for sheathing. Call a metal roofing supplier and price it. Building Supply stores may also sell it as well as farm supply stores.
Use gloves. 2x6 ridge down to side 4' on center. 2x4s across 2x6s 2' on center is what I do on my buildings as in this picture.

I used Ondura on a small porch one time and it's fine also. Don't drop it on it's corners it'll break the corner off. My brother in law used it on a big deck several years ago and it has held up well, just shouldn't walk on it like metal but most people don't walk on their roofs.
I've waited on Barlow deliveries before but they're only 2 miles from this building and 7 miles from my house.

Just got back from the Lowes by me and got a 10% military discount! Sales slip is included, note date at bottom and discount type at top!

On the roof, I suggest going with a metal roof. Call around and you should be able to find a place that will cut them to the length you need. On the boards 12 inches from top and bottom, then space 24 inches in between. Do NOT screw them down that you bend the metal.

FYI HOme Depot will also do the discount. ..
