The $100 Storage Shed ... I needed a quick solution for storage when we first got here, so this is what I threw together ... it's a 12' X 10" hoop shed built from cattle panels and tarp ..
3 cattle panels - $60
1 16 X 12 tarp - $35
12 tent stakes
rebar ties and/or zip ties
... just lay the panels out on the ground and rebar tie them together .. drive tent stakes along one side, raise it up till the sides are ten feet apart and stake the other side .. throw the tarp over and zip it down .. voila! ..
.. I've moved them a couple times already .. you just pull the stakes out and drop it flat, drag to the new location and raise it up again ..
.. to hold against the wind, I used crossed ropes on the backend to keep it rigid .. was surprised how well this works ..
.. here are links to the materials I used -
hoops -
tarp -
tent stakes -
rebar ties -
... I'll be putting up some one panel versions with plastic soon, to store and dry firewood where it's cut, then collect it up next fall ..
.. if you need a quick, portable solution, this may work for ya .. if I forgot something, just ask .. Tru
