RE: Cabin Patio Upgrade: Framed an Enclosure for Additional Comfort
That looks dry and windproof, as a test that looks great, easy and quite quick decision, I believe if you like and decided to keep it, you really need a really roof. It is very handy to use Youtube for such advices I like the videos with some workshops you can learn a lot and save some money for professional, actually with time you become professional yourself. Only important thing is that you should listen and learn before starting with expensive stuff to experiment. Good job and like your process photos.
Thanks - it might be easiest to think of it as a step up from putting up a dining tent :) This will be our last winter staying in the cabin before moving up to the off-grid house we're building 300 feet up the hill. It will be taken down at that point, the lumber re-claimed for other projects on the property. The $40 worth of poly tarp will most likely be used for another project as well. The $130 worth of 2x4s were actually reclaimed from framing up and supporting the foundation forms at the build at the top of the hill. It took about 3 hours to build the cabin enclosure, will take about 30 mins to take down - will be enjoying the enclosure all fall, winter, and spring :) Also a good idea to get a building permit if your area requires it and a large amount of money is to be spent.
