Now to mount wheels and a tow bar and you can whip that thing around anywhere. Im thinking of building movable racks for myself seen a few nice ones on here.

When finished it will have a tin roof. Not meant for carting around. I run a custom fab shop if you have something in mind to build I will be glad to help out.
 
what's your method of attachment for the frame work? Welded or bolted together?

Nice base of gravel.
I magnified it and it looks welded. There is a picture of a miller tig.
 
Approx how much would you charge for something like that? There's a fabrication shop down the road from me here, I've been thinking about asking them to make something similar, but I don't know what type of pricing to expect.
 
The frame is made in two sections that will bolt together at the middle of the "A". The tubing is all MIG welded.

I have used about 14 lengths of 2" x 2" x 1/8" wall aluminum tubing 24' each length. My costs on the materials is about $800.00

So you Mig welded the aluminum. I just assumed it was a Tig. My bad.
 
Progress slowed down the last few days but here is a close to complete aluminum wood rack/shed. Built in 2 pieces for transport and will bolt together in the middle.

Nice shed/rack. Its a rack for tax purposes. I would make sure you isolate the aluminum from the PT sills.
