Title: Building my new dry storage work shed. Stimson Bow-Roof Shed
Post by: Vantage on November 27, 2015, 10:33:20 AM

So the boat yard wanted $1750 for cold storage work space just for one winter. And Oh yea, don't make any dust! Yea, right!

My plans suggested I might need a year or more of dry workspace. What to do?

Truck the boat home and build an inexpensive temporary shelter! The Stimsom Bow-Roof Shed!

My progress so far.

It only took me a couple days work to get this far. As soon as the wind and rain let up, on goes the cover and ends.

Good job!
$1800 gets you outside storage with mast up here in Hingam MA.
I store my P323 in my yard, where could I get the plans for this structure?

Thanks

Hi Craig,

Just curious....  It looks like you've had the shed up for about a year. How has it held up?

Also, it looks like the frame/rafter material is 1" x 3" pine. Is that correct?

Thanks

Hi Craig, I am familiar with the shed, but curious to the size of yours?  I have a Pearson 10M Thanks, Ken
