Pictures
Three pictures showing:
1 the SW corner of the shed with 100mm C purlins and 4"x4" posts
2 the NW corner of the shed with double doors and
3 the 4"x1" timber, L bracket and wheel that support the roll off roof.
The bolt through the L bracket stops it rolling when closed.
There are 3 wheels on each side. A square made up of 4 bits of 4"x1" supports the roof, gang nails hold the 4 bits together. The south wall also has a piece of 4"x1" timber across it to make it stronger.
The tyres on the wheels compress slightly when the roof is attached, so I had to allow for that before drilling the holes in the L brackets for the wheel axles.
The advantage of a shed is it reduces the wind and problems with the neighbours lights, and there is a faster set up too. The disadvantage is loss of horizon, but objects are brighter when they are up high.
