Looks like a string of xmas lights across there? Neat idea.

Very nice job and the solar powered lights are a great touch.

One of the nicest simple set ups I've seen,what are the dimensions,and the lumber size,what's needed to make that in 16 foot lengths,i'm going to copy cat you.I like them so much.

I made some similar to that also, they make for quick drying like that. I use plywood for the roof and buy rolls of the ridge and valley protector which is self adhesive on the bottom and just roll it out for roofing

I like the light idea. I may put that in place on some of my wood sheds....

Are those two X fours ?

Are those two X fours ?

Yes, 10' wide, 5' tall with 2x4s. About 15-18" deep.
4.5" 5/16" lag bolts connecting top joints.
Bottom joints connected (and stabilized) with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002NBRJ/?tag=hearthamazon-20
You have to use pressure treated 2x4s for the bracket kit, as they are slightly larger than regular 2x4's.

One 2x4 in middle at top and bottom. Top raises roof in center for drainage
Roof is a 12'x2' corrugated galvanized metal roof: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Fabral-1...PIPHorizontal1_rr-_-202322817-_-202285067-_-N
Roof attached with stainless screws and washers for seal

Thanks. 10' wide, 5' tall with 2x4s. About 15-18" deep. (Could be made deeper, taller, and/or wider)
4.5" 5/16" lag bolts connecting top joints.
Bottom joints connected (and stabilized) with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002NBRJ/?tag=hearthamazon-20
You have to use pressure treated 2x4s for the bracket kit, as they are slightly larger than regular 2x4's (so that means at least pressure treated for the bottom horizontal and vertical).

One 2x4 in middle at top and bottom. Top raises roof in center for drainage
Roof is a 12'x2' corrugated galvanized metal roof: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Fabral-1...PIPHorizontal1_rr-_-202322817-_-202285067-_-N

Leveled as necessary.

Thanks very much,i'm going to attempt a similar set up,with 2x4x16 and will go six feet tall.Have you had any problems with stacks falling over as the wood shrinks.

No, but I just made them this summer.
