[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 139954"] Dean - you are from Nova Scotis. I would suspect there is an ample supply of cedar and tamarack somewhere near by. Knock a few big ones down for corner posts - cut up some smaller ones for rafters - do not bother to saw them - just shape the ends and lay the poles out - hammer it all together - find some used tin for the roof. I have one that is about 32 feet wide by 16 feet deep - front is about 12 feet high and back is about 6 feet. Stay away from those low slope jobs you see here on the web - you - like me can get FAR too much snow aqnd you are looking at a cave in. I have almost 300 invested in mine - will try to get a pic of it some day. I did the whole thing with a chainsaw and a framing hammer - some sheet metal screws for the roof and a bunch of 4 inch nails. Just put the open side to the south and forget about wind, rain and snow - it just never seems to get inside. Bez' [/QUOTE]
