Scratched out a bit of a 'rough-draft' sketch for near minimal space needed inside the Roll-Away-Cover to house either the 10" F4.7 newt or the 12" Meade Schmidt and from there working out what length timbers are, how high & long for walls mainly !
Have come up with some proportions that works well with the lengths and also the idea of a 'pitched roof' so all does not look like one weird looking tall Box
Thus working out the pitch of 45* degs allows the use of naturally square timber for the center top rail - keeping things at 45's & 90's makes life easier in my books
In the 2nd Pic, there are some old Roofing offcuts in which two of these come to a width 1600mm - so this is going to be how long the roll-away will be !
The 3rd pic is a 'Mash-Up' of whats to come. Also purchased some Auto Gate rolling Rails and wheels which the whole caboose will roll on. These rails will be secured onto two 5 or 6" wide concrete footings which will run inline with the SCP so to accommodate the scope 'Parking' inline with its housing and significantly reducing the overall height of the narrow Roll-Away..
Also will be weatherboards for the walls as demonstrated in the pic.
Last pic of a 90x80mm timber cut at 45* length ways, with a power saw which only cut 2/3rds the way through, so needed to turn timber over and match up the second cut to keep the cut flush. These to be use to Join/marry up the Roof to Wall Top Rails
Bit of a Start until some wet weather ahead clears !
All the best over the festive season
