Quadrangle construction details

Prev  Next

This post will go into the off-the-grid construction subseries.

As mentioned from the last post, I now cover some ground literally and figuratively with these details...

The quad got changed into a triad, with the fourth side being the canopy.  So there's that.  Here's a diagram of "da plan" for "da quad":

Plans and tentative materials list

Update:

Looks like the quadrangle needs some adjusting.  I have a video that informs me of this.  There are bushes that are going to be in the way, so I have to move the quads around a bit to accomodate the bushes, cause I don't want to destroy the bushes.


Update:

Even more tweaking yields a 32x32 foot area.  There's going to be a need for a lot of materials, unless I cut things down a bit.

Update:

Now for the costs.  ( Clearing my throat)

For one 20 foot by 8 foot quonset

Need 5 cattle panels  @ 19.99 each               100
Need 10 pallets         @ ??.?? each                  50
Need  plastic sheets   @ 50.00 approx.            50
Need 5 4x8 plywood @ 25.00 each               125
Need 4 more for doors                                   100
Hardware nails, screws, hinges , latches etc.      50

Total                                                            $475

There'll be two of these, plus one slightly smaller.  Looks like about $1500 for all three.  The numbers keep going up.  But what did you expect?????
