I use the shed for all sorts of projects, but it just looks awful. The idea is to cover it. Go from this: To something like this: However, to cover my shed, which is about 9-10 feet tall, the tip of the A-Frame would end up being over 15 feet tall. I am not at all sure I can get a permit for that. I will do a true A-Frame with the roof coming to the ground and completely open inside. It will simply be a roof over the other building and facade. The angle of the sides of the roof will be the basis for the A-Frame angle. Tiki Calendar for 2008 [ Edited by: Swanky 2008-03-13 12:26 ]
