Pony Barn

Great job!!! What is the roof made of? I like the way you made shelves. and pegboard walls for storage.

I built something like this a few years ago, but a little smaller. You've inspired me to finish off the interior a bit to provide additional storage. I use it to store gasoline powered machines, to keep them (and the gasoline) out of the garage.

Thanks for the comments and compliments, gents.

Nick, the roof is done with 16" Meridian steel panels. Quick and easy to install. One edge has a slotted lip to screw it to the sub roof. The next panel snaps down over the rib next to the slots, concealing the screws and making it water tight.

Great job Don, good time too! It seems like you nailed it down in about a month's time.

That is a nice looking roof. I may have to do that when my current shingles need replacing. If you have to cut a panel at the end of the building, how do you deal with treating the edge?

I bought a Frued Diablo ferrus metal blade that gave me a clean cut. Every panel was cross cut at least once with no clean up required on the cuts.

I didn't use the rake trim that the instructions called for, opting to go with a simple drip edge sealed with tape instead. I did the same with the Playpen roof a couple of years ago and still haven't had any leak problems.

ROFL, I was still lookin for a pony, reasoning being the g-daughter wants one and we have enough land for a small pen and I was honestly lookin at this for the 1st time today thinkin he was actually buildin it for a pony. Either way nice job and well built. Guess I have to think long and hard about that "pony barn " from here on out.

That's a good looking shed, but after seeing the interior pics I'm starting to think you built it just to house you plane collection.

Actually I moved them to the cabinet in the corner on the right, out of sight from the window that is away from the house. The move was more to free up the easier to get to cabinets for supplies and tools I may need to access than real worry about a break in. (The yard is patroled by a very friendly and unarmed Pit. Neither of those adjectives could be used to describe me!)

Finally got the trim painted and put up the cover piece over the door track/rollers. I compared about 10 -12 paint chips from Lowe's to the wall color and then remembered the left over gallon of brown in the paint locker.....

It must be nice if the County, or township will let You go ahead. We are in the country also, One of My Mothers neighbors started to rebuild on a platform, after finishing to remove the old building. He said I will be quiet, The township made Him take the much improved shop down, and said that He can not build in that spot!
