This is very cool, I have two of these and was considering converting one to a greenhouse and the other to a permanent shed. But my real question etc is why not just buy a few more 2x4s and just build a regular shed. Doesn’t seem like you save much material. I might just make the other a chicken coop and ditch this idea.
Great question ! Up front we installed this shelter to house my son's truck while he was on deployment in the military for 2 years. Once he returned I moved the tractor into it. Since this was the only shelter I had for the tractor I wanted to add to what was already there. No doubt if I wanted a permanent shelter I would have done it this way from the start with all wood structure. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Well made video, very thorough in all the right spots. Just bought four of these Shelter Logics and a 20 x 13 x 12 version. Can’t risk a fall or move around. Thanks
Absolutely outstanding! I bought one (actually two) of these last spring, and have been waiting for the rains to subside here in FL to put it up. Wanted to make a permanent structure as well (10' X 30' hence the reason I bought two). Been racking my brain as to the best way to go about the framing upgrade, and you did it for me over the summer. I'll probably be doing a T1-11 siding on the exterior, but I really appreciate you handling the door situation in part three as well. Thanks a million!
Glad the series was helpful! What are your plans for the roof if you use T1-11 siding? The way I ran the panels on my roof was not the best but so far it is not leaking (A bit of caulk solved that problem). If I did it over I would turn them 90 degrees and figure out the framing so over time I would not have to worry about caulk failure. Good luck on your project.
@@thehandyoutdoorsman9014 For whatever reason, the sides on mine stand strait upright, not angled outward at the bottom. So I figure I'll just sheath the roof, with a bit of an overhang, and shingle it. Obviously I don't have snow load to contend with, so I feel comfortable with a bit of additional weight up there to start with. I'm orig. from MI, so I know what that's all about
So much easier just to put metal sheets on the outside straight into the metal... only place I may add some wood reinforcement is the roof to handle snow load better.
Great job. Doing the same thing up here in Canada except with a round roof. Was going to go straight steel but I want to reinforce it like you did with the internal frame.
Why not just keep the frame in place, get some of that metal cladding, use a chalk string to get accurate lines and drill the frame to accept appropriately sized pop rivets? Roof can be done the same way, i'd expect. I like the pad and metal frame idea, i just don't think i'd bother with the wood.
That's pretty clever but that was way more work than just throwing all the pipe away and building a wooden structure similar to what you did but without the other pipes I built one myself but I threw the pipes away
Yes, one can look at it that way. Since there was nothing wrong with the pipe why throw it out? I just reinforced the frame that was there and saved time and money then starting from scratch.
@@thehandyoutdoorsman9014 hey like i said great job bro i only found the video because i was thinking of doing the same my frames still good too but after watch the video i don't really see a benefit of keeping the metal frame it doesn't seem to add anything accept the hassle of building around it. it gives a you a starting off point i guess and mabey we a different method that doesn't involve sliding it through holes in the wood or notching . your frame is now like 75% new wood.
my shelter collapsed from the snow....the tarp was fine...lasted 4 yrs...the metal supports bent and collapsed in...i am going to replace eventually but will use your ideas to improve the next one...would you be able to supply a materials list?
I supply the metal roofing from Menards down in the comments of Part III. Did not actually create a materials list for the wood as I figured it out as I built it.
You did way too much extras. You could have framed it in and then anchored the frame down these are sturdy frames I set them up constantly and watch them take 60 mile an hour winds the way that I have them anchored.
You are correct, for a standard tarp structure the framing would have been enough. Watch part III and I explain why I did it this way. Thanks for watching and commenting!
