Two days ago we finally got kick started to make a new shelter for the new horse. He is being weaned and is out in the elements for a few months. We had 2 inches of rain the other day and he will need his own run in anyway so I made a call and got five stick of oil well pipe yesterday. Started cutting pipe and welding yesterday. Finished up the frame work and welded on the bolts to attach the boards today. "Only within 1/8th inch? How do you sleep at night knowing it's more than .001 out of square? 😁😁
Tomorrow afternoon I will buy the boards I need to wall in the back and left side. The other two sides will remain open. I am going to plywood the roof first then put tin on on top of that to help cut rain sound and radiant heat in the summer.
This frame work is 12'x10', 7'6" high in back and 8'6" in front.....the frame alone is 1100 pounds. I built pull points on the lower corners so I can move this around and relocate it in the future with my tractor.
Did all that work by myself too......and yes, it is square and plumb within 1/8".
Newest project.
