Yes it is a cool shed Kbop. Have you put one together or maybe this is your shed and article. Thx for posting.

Did you design and build that yourself?

Get a schematic or or buy a kit or is all a construct of your own mind?

i wrote the article attached - its a shed my wife and i put up. 
-
the one i put together is in the article - the photogenic denizens are our sheep (its for the Ram pen).
My wife and i decided we needed a better winter shelter for them.  I wanted a design that was easy and bullet proof simple.  i created the concept, designed it, and the wife and i built it.
its just a simple run-in or loafing shed design.  i picked this because its cost effective.  And i didn't have to weld all the joints- the load strength on the joints exceeds my needs.

i posted some of this awhile ago - someone moved the original post (i have now found it- i just had a hard time figuring out where i had posted it).  I think it got moved to DIY by a moderator (at any rate, i couldn't find the first post). I was going to put it all together for this forum and finally got around to the 'paperwork' part of it.

if you have any other questions, let me know.

i found the first post. - it has more information on the project and the clamps i used.  One quick change - I used Ubolts for the side battens (to hold the 2x4 to the pole) - cheaper.

Awesome!

I remember one of Wranglstars earliest videos when he moved onto his current property he showed a wooden barn of similar size that he stated belonged to the original property owners. I think he stated it was from the 19th century and worked for them.

A great deal to get a similar structure in metal and be as well equipped as farmers in the Cascades in the 1800s.  :fuckYeah:
