BikeRider, when you said shed, i was thinking metal building.
I’m basically thinking of a concrete pad with 4 posts and a roof. I’ll cover the concrete with slate. Home Depot and Lowes only have limited metal and plastic roofing. I’m looking for some nicer metal roof panels. I need to check out the building supply places. I’m expecting to pay about $2500 to build this myself.
I got pie-in-the-sky figures from contractors over the years so I never made it a priority. I also want to build a courtyard so perhaps now is the time to revisit this project.
