This is the biggest project to come out of my work shop. In fact it is larger than my house. Over 1500sq ft of shade structure, 20ft tall and capable of withstanding 50mph gusts of wind.
Scale was the driving factor behind this project, it had to be BIG. Another goal of this project was to spend as little money as possible. The final cost of materials was $300. Almost all of the materials were pulled from scrap piles or donated.
