I have almost completed my new Camper Shed/Barn. I worked on the dirt pad for almost 3 years trying to build it up with my tractor that has a front end loader on it and a box scrape. I just took my time and got pad packed down and leveled up good. I had my dad saw the logs for me at his saw mill when we cleared the trees out where we built our house. So the only bought lumber I used is the 32' trusses, posts and some treated lumber that is covering the ends of the 2 x 6's so the rain won't rot them. The next step is having many loads of crusher run hauled to go under it and around it. Then finish putting in the windows and metal down the right wall that is built to help protect our Toy Hauler going in it. I want post some pics, but not sure how.
Side shelters went up first to make it easier to set the trusses.
Then the trusses went on.
Then the metal went on.
Walls were built for the metal and windows to protect camper.
Toy Hauler going under this shelter.
Now all I need is Lots and Lots for crusher run gravel hauled in. So eager to get it completed and camper under it.
Thanks for the help Y-Guy!

LOL Thanks! The guys who I had build it for me did have to true up some of the rafters a little since I used all saw mill lumber. I want to build a hay loft in the back of the middle section and then under the left shelter where the walls are framed up. I'm going to enclose that with either garage doors or a sliding door and put a couple old garden tractors in there. I still have a little more grading to do, but I'm getting closer. I will be soooo happy when I get this finished and let me tell you my wife will to. lol

What did you treat the timbers, the vertical posts, with to prevent rot and bug/termite damage. I am preparing the site for my shed. It will be a 14x36 with metal trusses. Won't have the side wings although I may be able to add one later. Looks real good. By crusher in the floor, are you talking about residue from concrete trucks?
Nice job.

Nice job.
I used treated 6x6's for the vertical post, but have not put any chemicals to prevent bug/termite damage on any of the trusses or 2x6 rafters yet. I probably will put something on them since most of the lumber I used was sawmill cut. The crusher run is a gravel that is not washed and has some grit/dirt in it. It makes a great base. It makes it easy to pack on a driveway that has never had any gravel on it before. Then later you can get washed gravel to put on the crusher run gravel. So in my situation I need a lot of crusher run. LOL Anyone else has any questions about the shed please feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer them.
