   I think it looks good. Are there snow load concerns in your area? Those rafters look a bit skimpy for my neck of the woods.

   Always remember those first immortal words that Adam said to Eve, “You’d better stand back, I don’t know how big this thing’s going to get.”

   Thanks Scott,The proportions of the shed make it look much larger than it is. The roof only spans 8' (4' of run, below each rafter). I hope that and the 12/12 pitch will handle the snow.

   Once I get it dried in and move the garden and camping gear inside, the scale will be more apparent. I hope to get that far this weekend and will post a few more pics.G'day,Brian

   Once you move stuff in, you will regret not making it 4" longer!

   i like that front green collar tie,is that something simpson has come out with?i like the idea of the more load,you just tighten a little.

   worst thing about a shed,gives you a place to throw stuff that you'll never use again.larry 

   if a man speaks in the forest,and there's not a woman to hear him,is he still wrong?

   Simpson should use webbing straps--I think--handy stuff.The shed will hold the riding mower, garden tools and camping gear. Now I will have more room in the shop. :o)
