Would have been stronger to notch the power poles to catch the channel in compression rather than depending on the shear strength of grade #5 bolts or lags (the galvanizing process weakens them even further). Sister on a 4x6 to the 6 x 6s to the ground to make a compressive load out of them too. Sistering them to the power poles would also improve the strength since they are on the face. An ice storm or freezing snow can quickly load that roof not to mention if you are in a tornado or storm zone what the wind can do. Always good to get the equipment out of the weather as much as possible.
Thats going to be a good shed. That little skid loader is as handy as a pocket on a shirt lol . Look forward to seeing it completed . Keep us posted .
It turned out very nice in fact! Next video will be finished product! Yeah it is very handy! Wouldn’t trade it for the world!
You are a sight. I like the shed and your work. Great video. Dead on level.
Thank you!

You are right about that. Didn’t cross my mind to even do that. Don’t get a lot of ice or snow so don’t have to worry about that. Thanks again.
