Montana | I can really identify with this post because My Daddy and i built a Lambing shed just like this in 1973 and it is still standing. We had Timber and cut our own big posts and butt treated them. It was very interesting how hard we worked to get the outside straight but we did. We used light poles for perlons on the walls and roof. I have built a lot with dimension lumber since then and know the labor is the key. :) We sided the building with one by fir lumber from 4 to 12 inches wide. if there were knot holes we did two layers. Lots of nails. We put on a galvanized tin roof.
Some people sure love the rustic and creativity of the pole and lumber shed. It was 60 by 80 built to follow the plane of the sloping ground. I know some real rich people buying ranches in Montana now are paying a bunch for old boards and old tin to get sheds made to look like ours. :) They want to pretend they are old timers. :) | |
