Movable Shelter

BCG, what kind of spacing and how deep is the rebar on your tie foundations? That's interesting to me that it works.

I was looking at placing one of those car port shelters over a new hydrolic shoot and then enclosing one side. I may think this over some more.

I could only get 8 foot rail road ties here. So there is 3 re-bar stakes driven in each one, only about 2 feet deep in the ground. (Gotta have a real good drill bit for the ties!)

We once did a portable barn on ties that was 2 12x12 stalls on each side with a 12 ft alley way down the middle. (So a 24x36 building) But only the stalls had the ties. We didn't even use the re-bar. The barn was attached to them with the L brackets and that's all it needed.
I don't think the car ports are heavy enough though, better anchor with the re-bar. The nice thing is, the ties add some height.

Their making some money on that one it sounds like. Prices do fluctuate with the price of steel. Maybe that "Megapanel liner" is some expensive stuff also! I will see if I can pull up a local ad here.
 
Here's one on our local Craigs list. If you Google portable horse shelters, you get a whole slew of manufactures.

Same April 2015 catalog lists the price for 1 1/4" thick Megapanel as $1.66/sq ft for 4'W x 24'L. 1" thick 4'W x 16'L is priced at 78 cents/sq ft. http://store.cammackranchsupply.com/category-s/1895.htm

My uncle built a machine shed using only megapanel for the sidewalls and covered with steel. Many other permanent pole structures in this area are built similarly. I wouldn't hesitate to use megapanel as a liner in any kind of building construction , just as long as it is protected from weather :idea:
