[QUOTE="jt, post: 34366, member: 238"] mine is built out of wood... 4x8 (or less if you desire) with 4-4x4 posts and a top on it that hangs over about 2-3 foot all the way around. the post are buried in the ground about a foot.. i have no problems with it. the 4x8 area where you pour the minerals out is about 20-24 inches off the ground. it has a band around it to keep the salt, minerals from falling out. the top is high enough that i can walk under it. the boards on top are 2x12's cut down from each end to center to in effect to make an a frame. took a 2x12 and sawed it from about 3" on the end to full width in the middle and basically made an a frame out of it. ( if that makes any sense) put on some lathing boards and screwed tin to it. put a whole sheet of tin all the way over it.. the pitch is of such small amount that the tin would bend all the way over and that prevents having to put a ridge cap on at the peak of the roof. works great for me. jt [/QUOTE]
