My cheap cab enclosure. It actually turned out better then I thought it would.
....... and I installed side mirrors, windshield, front bumper lights, and side flashers.
My first build try.

Snow plowing weights. The board with the bolts fits in the holes and keeps the weights from moving.

The storage shed build.
The end half moon shapes are parts from an old trampoline. Held in shape by steel cables.
The long poles and side legs are parts from one of our old swimming pools.
Building 1

Building 2

.
The cable is almost 8 feet high. I still need to add the top for this end and the sliding canvas door.
Air tight? Nope, just something to keep some of the wind off.
The branches were rubbing on the top but I did not have a tall enough ladder to get to them.
Gotta love the country life. Pulled out the shotgun with clay target rounds and took care of the problem.
Building 3
