The Boat Shed
The Boat Shed was custom built and fabricated from 2" Aluminized muffler tubing that was bent and swaged so that the tubes slid together then each bow was welded and set in place onto stub pipes set in concrete. then Hi-Ridge metal roofing was attached using 1" TEK screws. with the the roofing attached lengthwise providing the necessary shear strength to the entire structure. Shed dimensions are 15'wide x 16'high x 40'long.
