Here while back, someone was asking about a shelter of some sort. I can't remember if the person responding actually said to build an A-Frame, and cover it, or if it was what I came up with from the topic. I needed a place to store my Sportster, and a place to store my large tool boxes. The guy I'd worked for about 4 and half years had a case of the Dumb###, and lost the shop and property. Had something to do with paying more to the dice tables, than the bank... Anyway, all of a sudden, I had to find a place to keep everything I had to work with etc. I ran to the lumber yard, bought a bunch of 2X4X8's, and a couple rolls of heavy transparent plastic. Came home, laid out the 2X4's in an A-frame shape on the ground, spaced the bottoms 8' apart, and used drywall screws to fasten them. Stood each one up, then used a 2X4 between each section to tie them together at the top. Used extra 2X4's on the sides at angles to add support. Covered with plastic, and fasten the plastic down with lath stips and small nails to keep it from tearing away. Lately, we have had some 25-40 mph winds here, and so far it has all held up. Needed a warm place to do a little work on a 4 wheeler for an old customer, so I used some extra plywood on one of the shelter sides and end, and made it a little more "livable". I have some pictures on the computer that I took of them during the assembly, if someone needs them, email me. Took about 30 minutes each to build, and spent less than $100.00 for two. Longer 2X4's, and a little more support, you can make it as big as you want, and cheap to cover...
