Project boat shelter
The plan build a boat shelter for free
Or close to it.
Stock piled materials to date
14 x 12.5 ft high old steel light poles. 3 inch wide at top 8x8 foot. Have access to anther dozen or so..
4 16 ft 2x10s will be ripped in half. These will be used lateral to tie poles together via bolts. Same as you would see a Canadian tire type of shelter.
Thinking this shelter could be free standing or dig holes fill with concrete and bolt feet. I think I have enough stuff to do two of these or close to it.
Here's where I need some more thought on
The trusses.. how and what do I use for trusses. Thought maybe 2 inch pvc pipe. Bent over from pole to pole. But open to better more permanent ideas.
Also I don't want to rent and equipment to build this.
Would be using a tarp for roofing.
Anther issue no sure of hight of boat while on trailer. Ya pretty important factor on truss design. Anyway
..truss design
..how to erect.
