    Well it’s a shed. But I’ve been told you can do 24” rafters and looks like 16” studs in walls, what’s the floor? 3/4”?

    What kind of base is required? Also check with your zoning and building department. Tie downs may be required.

    I’d go for it.
    We paid a little more for a metal skinned Morgan building delivered and leveled. I stained the floor and installed foil barrier which helped a lot but I’m tired of painting so I’ve gone to metal

    Is this foil barrier the shiny stuff on the walls of some of the ones I’ve looked at?

    The framing makes no sense to me but if the question was "is this shed likely to remain standing ?" I would have to say yes

    I have had one in my home since we built it in 2008 , no issues , heats up quick and the cast exterior panels retain heat for a long time plus you can load it front to back with 18" firewood

    Nice
    Our “winters” are nothing like yalls up there but hate wasting wood in a fireplace. Love the swingout shelves for cooking also. Looks like a fine addition.
    I’m sold and wife likes it
