Well, I finally got around to getting my little tractor shed up. Haven't got doors on it yet, but the better half can park in the carport again. :D Here's an idea for anyone who has (legal/ethical) access to non-returnable pallets.
I have as many free pallets as I want from work, which make up most of the walls. They are great to work with because they are 35" square, 5-1/4" deep, and quite uniform. I spliced them together and put 2x6's between them (concrete form leftovers from building projects at our church) and some salvage 4x4's on the corners. The corner 4x4's had a 2x6 and 2x4 added to them, making them similar to 6x6 corner posts. The railroad ties came from a buddy's junk pile. Apart from some unorthodox stud spacing, it went together quite easily.
All I had to buy are nails, some OSB and shingles, and it fits my little BX perfectly. Gotta love recycling!:D
