Nice job swags still need to call back about mine. Spent all weekend at farm. Cut and split a bit over a cord and still some rounds left. Had to get my aunt and uncle some wood for the winter.
For $2,790 you can have a 18' x 21' garage (kinda). That's with one man door and one garage door.. Installed. The brochure says the prices are only good in certain states. That's because they do travel with a truck and trailer and build them. So that's understandable, I guess. But there should be one in your area with better pricing than that. For that kind of money Nate, you can get a 24 x 21 or 12 x 36. That's a big car port/wood shed. I was gonna me get one this year, but my CAD made the carport take a back seat. Next spring I will be buying a 12 x 31 and going from the wood she'd I have now, and running perpendicular (covering where my 8 outside wood racks were). Here are the brochures and prices. $695 is the cheapest (12 x 21) and would still cover over 10 cord of wood (not even stacked to the ceiling/ if you went the full inside height, probably 11-12 cord).
In my area 18x21 is $695 the 12x21 is $595... but I'm one state over. Just like 8 years ago I think they were $100 cheaper.
Looks good I have one just like it except the sides are closed and a concrete floor. Which is no better. In my book you have the best there is there. Let air in and water out. I would call it the best wood shed. I can't move my wood around on pallets like you. I have 9 ricks in mine side to side and to the roof. 1 rick =about a long bed and a half. Again Good job I have a small inclosed building that will hold 6 tacoma loads. I only put super seasoned wood in it. I have tryed hard to get the wife to let me get 1 more and I don't lose with her much but I have threw in the towel on that
Swag that's sweet nice job brother! I am surprised at how big it is for the price too.. Around us they are $1200 to $1400 for a 18'*21' unit.
The price included them building it? They could double those listed prices here and it would still be cheap. Heck for an 18x21 it would cost more for the slab than for the building. I suppose once it was wired, insulated and all that it would add a bit, but it's still pretty cheap. I built a 16x20 building a few years ago and it was about $10k all said and done.
Yeah like Clem said they put it up for you, they actually won't even sell just a kit for you to install. I can't even come close to that price on materials to build myself.
I'd be curious on how they hold up against the wind and snow. I know it says 130mph and 50psf, but I can tell you that the 70-80 gusts we get here in winter make even my 2x6 framed house move around a bit.
I have one thats about 16x32 that was here when I boughtmy house and it looks like its been here 20 years and its got like 12ft legs or like 16ft or better to the peak. I know its seen those type winds. And it does not even have the top brace or corner bracing.
Ya they aren't as popular up here as down south, but they get the hurricanes down there. Snow load I think will be ok. It's got braces on every leg, the ones down south don't. And it seems pretty rigid.
Nice getting that all filled up Sean. Especially with the little one helping. Show her those pics when she's a teen to remind her of what a great kid she is.
Yep we get tropical storms pass over my house every other year and get plenty of severe storms that have tornadoes in them. We have had several near misses in the last 5 years for twisters. And just this summer had a "micro burst" that blew a dozen trees or more over within a mile of my house. I'm kind of protected by trees and a fence , now if it was in the middle of a hundred acre hay field up on a hill it probably would not do so well. Also if you pay the $100 more its "certified" which comes with heavier gauge legs and has more bracing etc and also comes with approved engineered drawings.
For an area like yours Nate, you would go with one of the options they have and that is earth anchors rather than just driving down rebar as they normally do. I don't remember how many anchors we had but think we had 8 of them that were long, long earth anchors. It was neat watching them drill them in. Also for strength, I would not worry about snow. At least the one we bought is super strong. It is steel and not aluminum.
