I havent had a chance to finish out the framing on the roof. just got it up so i had a place to store the free wood! Yeah im gona finish buiding the ends so it wont sag. we usually dont get much snow fall in our area, (last decent snow 1996). Now of course we'll get a ton. its close enought to the ground that i can take the shovel and clear it off if it gets to high. i was gona get the 3/4 but they had a special on the 7/16 that i couldnt pass up $6.00 a sheet! Built the whole thing for bout $450.00 and that includes the shingles i havent put on yet. im gona shop the habitat for humanity stores and discount places for some siding in the spring.

I've never felt a need to tarp in the sides. The small amount of horizontal rain that might wet the edge dries in no time. I want as much air movement as possible.

I don't tarp in the sides when the weather is decent (i.e. not in snow season) for exactly the reasons you mention. It's also why my shed is open sided (besides being cheap) However in this area, we get a fair amount of drifting snow that will build up around the splits, then turn to ice. Makes it harder to get a load of wood when it's all frozen into one lump, plus it isn't the happiest thing in the world to drag a bunch of ice covered splits (which weigh extra BTW - I don't need to drag an extra 20lbs up the stairs) into the living room and have them melt on the carpet...

Thus the tarps, which don't impede air circulation that much, especially since the wood is already seasoned, but do keep the worst of the snow and ice off.
