I need to build a cow shelter, just a 3-walled shelter to block the winter wind when it really blows. The ground has subsurface slab rock, so post holes aren't viable. Just something cheap that works; this isn't the Taj Mahal.
It'll be about 10 X 20 feet. 8 feet high in the front, sloping down to 6 1/2.
I want to make the frame out of, I guess, angle iron. Would 2X2X1/8 be heavy enough, or should I go to 1/4?
I'd like to use 2 3/8" or maybe 2 7/8" oilfield pipe, but I don't have any way to cut the saddles for the joints - no oxyfuel or plasma. I'm wondering if you can buy connectors, sort of like those PVC connectors.
Any advice or suggestions would be welcome.
