Putting Pallet Roof On My Sugar Shack

I am putting 6 foot by 4 foot pallets on the roof of my sugar shack. This will make it strong, heavy and durable. I used 2x6 barn wood for rafters to hold the pallets in place.

For ease and speed because a winter storm is on the way and the maple sap is flowing, I am using pallets. They are rugged and they are already build. I just piece them together like a puzzle and screw them in place. The lumber underneath supports them nicely enough.

When I was finished with the roof, I hung from it and swung like a monkey to see how well the shed would hold together. It does not even swing or move under my weight.

I will be adding cross bracing in the walls and ceiling though just to be sure. I always over build rather than under build.

But right now I have to get the roof on and get it together because the weather and the maple sap are not waiting for me.

It was getting dark by the time I was finished so I had to call it a night. But I did go out and split some more fire wood even after I thought I was done working outside for the night.

Even then, I go in and work a few hours on videos and comments.
