Temporary Building

[besmith]

I'm looking for ideas and recommendation how to best construct a temporary building to cover my 1953 40' Chris Craft. I want to bring the boat to our property to refinish the exterior surfaces. I would need a building approx. 45'x20'x18'.

I would also be interested in obtaining a used structure.
I welcome your feedback. Thanks, Bruce

Instead of an entire building...wouldn't a few tarps with a wooden frame be acceptable? Seems like a lot of expense to put a reg. building...although temp. up when a few tarps and a solid frame would be sufficient.

I did what uncas suggested to a 30 odd foot Owens.

It only cost $100 or so and worked like a charm, til the arse end of the Florida hurricanes got to it.

Bsmith...if nothing else, you won't need a building permit! Another expense! :D Plus the BS that goes with it...
No, I doubt as indicated a few tarps would withstand a hurricane...another issue....Then again, there does not appear to be a lot of perm. buildings which were not destroyed by the four that hit FL.

What's your time frame?
Temporary buildings generally don't require permits.Two years is the outside limit around here,but I don't know of anyone who has been told to remove a boatshed.

You might look at the bow frame greenhouses they come in some rather impressive sizes.

I put up a 45 x 25 x 19 bow shed to build my boat in. It's held up well for a long time, but I don't know if it would be worth the trouble just to refinish the exterior of a boat.

Someone here had a link to a novel building system a while ago. It was a truss-less, gusset-less scheme that used angled metal sleeves to connect the frame parts.

At the time I had the idea of constructing wall and roof panels that could be taken apart as modules, stored flat and reassembled on another site. Such a building would have some resale value. Maybe even a return on your investment. Module less that 40 ft might be a good idea, with resale in mind.

Unless your doing a restoration type project or removing part of the sheathing to expose the interior, I wouldn't bother with a building.

Sometimes creative tarp work or shrink wrap works out pretty well. I do this kind of work all the time, allthough sometimes its a PITA you just work around the weather. If you have a shop, sometimes its easier to just remove the part or parts and do the repair in the shop.

See I just saved you 5 grand now that you don't have to build a building...
