New Observatory Shed was created by phoenix
Hi Guys,

Just took delivery of a new roll off roof shed and photos are below. I gave a set of plans to Riverside Quality Sheds who did a great job. The build quality is excellant and he still has the plans if anyone wants one.
I just have to wait for a clear night to polar align the LX200.

All in the shed cost £1700 and is 10ft x 8ft. The most expensive item for the roof was the 16 stainless steel spindle wheels which cost £36 each. The cost was higher because it was a one off but he is looking to make more if the market is there so the cost would come done. Note the anchors at the corners of the shed. These are concreted 0.5m into bedrock because it is an exposed site and we are expecting 60mph winds tomorrow.
