you might look into these ive used um n ilike um + if http://www.teksupply.com/farm/supplies/prod1;ts1_agricultural_supplies-ts1_hay_storage_tarps_2;pg108597.htmlyou move not that hard to take with you

you might look at farmtek.com i really like their products, in fact i'm about to order more from them in a day or so. they guarantee, and even though their "barns" might not look conventional, the natural light and such make them really nice.

Only if you promise to bring Tammylee along, Phil. Her artistic touch would be most welcome. Thanks for the offer. You are most kind. Let me check out the other avenues, first, Phil. But you folks are always welcome here, labor or no. :)

Miss Holly, If you are still in need of the shed being built lemme know, be more than happy to help out design / labor. Phil

Hey, cloud, thanks. Never thought of that. Maybe it would be good to do as a comparison to the Sutherland's kit.

Holly, you can go to the projects desk at either Lowe's or Home Depot, and they will draw up a Bill of Materials, cost estimate, as well as a line drawing of your project. All you need to provide is basic dimensions and the design you woulld like. They can even provide the design, if needed. This will give you cost + instructions. They may even have kits.

Nope, gifted, although I looked into Versatube as possible horse shelters (rancher2, Versatube is the company that told me not to put siding on them because they weren't built to withstand high winds if the siding is on there.) Sutherlands is a lumber company that is in several states. They have shed kits . . . with directions, and they have sales on the kits occasionally. I've made beaucoup trips to Lowe's and Tractor Supply over the past 3 years to get all the materials to get electrical in the barn, water lines and hydrants to the pastures, and shelters for the horses. If I can get away with a kit that has everything, even directions, already in it . . . and get it delivered, it sounds good to me. I can do lots of the work myself (except the metal siding and roofing, especially if there is wind), and was just thinking it might be easier and cheaper in the long run.

are you talking about a Versatube? style kit....I have a couple of these....they go up fast and they are kinda flimsy...but for a quick fix they are what they are...

Hmm . . . thanks, Robin. The fellow who helped me design and build my horse shelters has moved to Houston to be with his wife who got a great job down there . . . so I'm trying to figure the best way (and most economical) to get a structure that has all the pieces so I don't build it wrong. I figure a kit has all the parts . . . and directions :) . . . for someone like me who isn't "wired" to do construction. I can read . . . as long as I can find my reading glasses . . . and I can operate the tractor, auger, bucket and chain . . . and most of the tools (although I have a crooked finger from drilling it with the screw gun last year) . . . so I just wondered if anyone had used the kits and had good luck with them. Otherwise, I guess I could find out what's in the kits and buy the materials separately . . . but I still need the directions.

holly, A friend of mine has the 3-sided sheds not only for shelter but also a large one for hay. She said there wasn't much difference between buying a kit and having someone build them with raw materials. She had them built figuring it was worth it not having to do them herself (with husband).
