How I did the pier: Dug a 12'' diameter hole 3.5 ft. deep, took a fence post pounded it down a few inches for support for the concrete. Using a form I bought at the local lumberyard - putting this 4" into the hole and filled with concrete. While concrete was still wet we sunk three mounting bolts to attach the wedge on top. Next came framing the floor. Using 4x4 for the frame and 12x6's for the floor.
Next came the wall frames using 4x4's and decking boards I had left over from another project
I walled the inside with 12x12 's and put insulation then wrapped it in heavy duty plastic. Making it very wind proof.
Then put white metal siding over the plastic, added the door and am now ready for the roof. I don't have any pic's of the roof but I built the frame out of 2x4's and used metal for the covering. I used hanging barn door tracks with rollers. I bolted the rollers to the roof and attached the tracks to the top of the sidewalls then extended the tracks to two 4x4 posts I had anchored into the ground 12' from the building.
Here is the Finished Product! Roof rolls off very easily - works like a charm! Especially like the protection I get from the cold weather.
