My little roll up roof observatory
I needed to setup my Meade 14"LX200R permanently as it was not getting used much because of the effort required to get the thing set up for an observing session and the danger of damaging the scope when carrying it around
I had very little space to work with and the missus insisted that it end up not looking like a tin hut or some outhouse.
I got one of those plastic sheds and replaced the roof with an aluminium roller-shutter door.
Waterproofing was done with adhesive PVC sheeting used on outdoor signboards.
It works like a bomb and is totally maintenance free as there's no timber to treat every year and no steel to rust.
