shelters/temp. garages

Ok stinky, treated lumber? Did you have to BUY the materials or were they recycled? I just don't see how you'd could pull it off for "well under $700" if you had to buy the materials, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

I'm all ears.... ???
 
Yeah Phes, not really very expensive. My main point was that it would never be paid for. Nothin wrong with it at all. Just pointin it out. I spend more than that on beer so I can't say a word!
 
OK here goes...I posted a pic of it a long time ago, but I cant find it...Ill take more tonight and post em.

I lied, its 12'high plus about another 8-10" over that for the truss height.

All of course treated

6 4x4x14...2' in ground (all concreted) 20.00/each=120.00
14-2x4x8 Trusses 2.97 each =41.58
7-2x6x12 brace across trusses 8.97 each=63.00
4-2x6x12 sides 8.97each=17.94
Concrete 6 80lb bags =3.20 each=50.00
hurricane starps 30.00


I used 12' lengths of v crimp tin that I got CHEAP due to the dents in em. but even at regular price you will be under budget. I would suggest going with the commercial grade corregated though as it isnt much more $$ I just used the v crimp cause I got it less than half price.

regular price tin is 13.00/12' length need 16=208



It is all also all screwed together with 3"galvanized deck screws...$25/box

total $555.52 including screws and straps! ;D

Ill take pics in a little bit, I gotta run home for sumthin anyways.....
 
Stinkman, do you have walls/sides....or is that what the tarps are for? I'd like to see your pics, thanks.BR, here is a good way to rationalize the 749.00....shrinkwrap@ 10-12.00 per foot,about 225$ and rip it off and throw it out in the spring. 225$ per year x 7= 1575 vs. 749$ and I get to use it 365 days a year, and lastly, I'll duct tape my nudie calenders!!
 
So true Phes. I know I'd never shrink wrap my boat because I never put it up for the winter. Just keep right on using it. In fact, we've had quite a few 60 + days this winter thus far with more in sight! Calling for 67 on Saturday!

Also, think of the alternative of NOT keeping some sort of cover over your boat and the $749 is EASY to rationalize. Water, dirt, leaves, cat pee, hail, dust, snow, varmits building nests....all this can add up to well over $749. Bottom line, if you got a nice boat - protect your investment (even though it is a crappy investment).

Currently I'm keeping my boat under a metal shed like I the one I mentioned earlier. Its not mine, we are renting a house while refurbishing our main house and the shed was there already. Only drawback to this shed is that its not tall enough to pull my boat under with the top and enclosure on. It'd be nice if I could.

HOW THIS 250,000 SQ FT
 
Ok guys here it is....No there are no sides, mine is as you can see next to a smaller shed and then a shed over my cleaning table and freezer so there is no need for sides. It also has an 16 inch overhang on each side. It gets a leaf or two blown under during a BAD storm, but no water at all. For a few more bucks you could add some tin on each side . You may also go with treated or even white latice sides down 4 foot on each side. This may please the Mrs. a little more as well. ;)

I forgot to figure in a few 2x4s for angled bracing and for securing the trusses.

Note on the right side I left the overhang open because this spring I will be extended the shed out over the little boat. The little shed was already there and was just something I threw together with scraps when we first bought the place. I want to redo it to match the pitch of the large one and make it look nicer. :)

One other thing I will be doing is running an overhead waterline up one of the 4x4s and onto the middle truss. I will have a curly retractable hose overhead for cleaning out baby after a day on the water. This helps to prevent dragging a hose all over the place and scuffing up sweet thing too. ;)

Last but not least, on the left side is my fish cleaning station. Yes thats a 6.5" pioneer speaker running off of my stereo system in the shed. I gots ta have my tunes while Im filletin dem snappas!! 8)

The 18cc isnt over here right now. I keep it at a friends house under cover during the off season. ;)
 
Not as nice as yours!!! :)

Hell you could just pull yours around under cover for giggles in bad weather. Tow her around and warm up the bearings! ;D
 
that's some shelter you got there Cap, how long did it take you to build that? Stinky, that looks good what you got goin on there BUT, I know it's no concern for you southern boys, I've gotta think about the occasional 15"-18" of wet snow. At about 10 lbs. per sq. ft., suddenly you've got nearly two tons of a norton crusher on its way.
 
my v-20 is in a greenhouse that was built just for my boat. with a roll up tarp for the door. i just back the boat and trailer in and thats it. the plastic is good for 5 years at $200 for new plastic. the house is 30 ft long fits my20ft boat perfectly. bb

dont know where you are BB,but if you're up north, does it stay reasonably warm inside during the winter?

i am in willaiamstown nj. 35 miles fro ac and 45 min from the del bay. it has not froze in there yet this season. it will though if it gets real cold. my plastic is white so it does not get hot in the summer months, but of it was clear plastic it prob would not freeze in there . it would take much less sun to heat it up. a small heater would stop it from freezing to. there are two layers of plastic to help to insulate. if you would like a picture let me know i can email but cant put it on the site. bb
 
BB I'm here in Nj also, what do you mean a green house you put up for the boat, I'm curious on cost where you got it from etc.
