Bummed out My shed Collapsed

Oh dear. Too bad!   

I'm sorry to hear that.  Plenty of buildings have been collapsing under the weight of the snow this year.  Sorry you suffered along with others.

I have a friend whose horse barn, big enough for 30 horses, had the roof collapse.  Luckily the horses were already out in the corral at the time (in KY and she only has 6 now).

The barn cats wouldn't leave.   She was actually in it when she heard the barn moan, like the sound on the Titanic when it was going over.  She got out of there just in time when it came down.

As soon as it happened I was on my son's back about shoveling off the garage and house roof.  He had already planned to do that the current Sat.
Too many garages and sheds and barns have been collapsing lately from the heavy ice and snow.

Folks, if you have snow on your roof, whether house or shed, be sure to clear it off as soon as you can.  Even if its just a little of it.  It will decrease the weight and chance of collapse.

Oh man, sorry about your shed.  Lightening struck ours in 2012 and caught it on fire.  Homeowners insurance covered it so def. check that out.

Sorry to hear that about your shed. There will be other sheds in your future. They say it is better to have had a shed and have lost it than to never have had a shed.

rats! sorry to hear about your shed   and QB what a scary story about your friends stables....wow....so sorry you all are having such severe weather.......

last week when we had some heavy winds our corner neighbors tree lost a huge branch....pretty much a small tree size branch, that came down onto our new back yard fence breaking it and also causing damage to our children's trampoline.....

we have such sweet kids.....they didn't say a thing about the branch going thru their trampoline, they were more worried about daddy's fence....and felt terrible that our pretty fence that they help daddy build was broken....

My condolences on the loss of your shed. I thought that things like that only happened to bowling alleys, grungy strip malls, and old supermarkets. Will your homeowner's insurance cover an outbuilding?

Recoush, Can you rebuild an interior wood frame and roof support and then used the aluminum as the exterior material? Just a thought I've had.

The good news i have it on pressure treated wood floor and is set on piers and anchord
so the bottom floor is done and still good. IF i did not need the storage would a great size for a SFG   

may rebuild in 2x4 with gal brackets no cutting other 90 degrees
Likely make a peak roof and the full 8 height then i dont have to duck the other one was about 6 high
most of the metal is bent had my son measure and it was about 8x10

hoping i can sell the metal for a few extra bucks, doubt from what i can see any of it is not bent
major bummer ,how ever an oppurtunity for improvement 

Recous, I guess clouds do have silver linings.
