It seems like every day I am seeing the need for
new structures for housing the many, many things
around this place..such as the need for a shop,
the need to store tractor implements, ad
infinitum. It occurs to me that building upon the
hoop concept you could use a heavier grade of
stout PVC pipe to make a quonset shaped hoop
skeleton and then merely use the same 20'
galvanized sheeting that is used on barn roofs to
make a very economical structure. The sheets could
be held on with gypsum board screws and then
strapped to prevent storm damage. Your thoughts?
