Barn addition - Lean-To for tractor and mower storage
Hi all, just want to share my latest construction project. My last was a treehouse for my kids posted in treehouse sub. My wife and I own a small horse farm with a 6 stall barn. We have always kept the tractor and zero turn in the central barn aisle to keep them out of the elements, but we've always wanted that space for horse and show cow work. So, I finally got around to expanding the barn with a lean to (35x11') for the equipment. Biggest mistake was that I ordered exactly how many feet of roof panels I needed. I did not account for overlap. I put the entire roof up with minimal overlap, and then checked it in the rain to find every panel leaking. I bought 3 more panels, took the entire roof off, and overlapped them 4 inches to prevent leakage. Lesson learned... submitted by /u/jmartino2011 [link] [comments]
