Bow Shed Build!

[@Alltakenbla]

The way the shed was built sets the trend on how seriously you took this massive undertaking!

[@PN_48]

Oh wow, having a shed to cover your project is brilliant and makes life so much easier. Plus it’s a work of art in itself!

[@niallwildwoode7373]

Nice build. I'm intending to build a walipini of 72'x24', and I reckon that gothic arches are the way to go. Great when people don't over complicate projects, as life's too short.

[@TheDuracellProject]

Yes these plans would be amazing for a walipini. Good luck with that. Here's a link to the plans I used: www.lsuagcenter.com/portals/our_offices/departments/biological-ag-engineering/extension/building_plans/horticultural/greenhouse/gothic-rafter-greenhouse

Hi. Iv just watched your series of vids on the restoration. Very impressed. I also built a bow shed recently, but saved a lot of money by shortening the actual lenght of the shed, and instead of raising it on footings, I built it on two tracks, allowing me to move it along my project when necessary. Maybe a thought for the future. Good luck with the new boat. Regards Jack from Ireland

[@TheDuracellProject]

How clever-love that! I would love to see plans or pictures of the track system.

[@depikebustergonewild5701]

@@TheDuracellProject afraid I never had plans of any sort, I just used levelled concrete sections, 5 x 3 inch depth and width on top of a line of 9 inch solid blocks. Tin plate on top of this, and 6x 9inch fiberglass casters for the structure to run on.

[@noyb72]

Jumping in now, can't wait to see how this goes.

[@TheDuracellProject]

We can’t wait either, it’s gonna be a long process.

[@countrywolf88]

That's awesome you can form the arches like that, had no idea

[@norbertahrends9106]

I watch your videos in Cologne - Germany. I'm waiting for the next videos. Wish you much success.

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thanks for watching! We’re planning on releasing one every Wednesday.

[@Tomm9y]

Neat arch construction. Perhaps you will extend it to enable more work in bad weather.

[@LG-ct8tw]

I was hoping you wouldn't change the dog house . That is what made "Duracell" so recognizable. In your first video the camera panned along the boat from the ground allowing just a glance at the dog house roof and I said: Duracell ! and then that scooped transom, I said Yes! I knew it! Duracell.

[@sailgeek11]

Hello from an equally wet Scotland ! Looking forward to seeing this project take shape. Good luck!!

[@TheDuracellProject]

Hey there Scotland! Thanks for following along.

[@maryvisher9271]

I loved watching that shed go up and the result was a work of art!

[@jannekepetersen6591]

It's very elegant looking.

[@timwebb8153]

I think Mike P. would approve. Well done TDP!

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thank you for saying that, I often wonder what he would think.

[@timwebb8153]

@@TheDuracellProject I get the feeling that you are doing this in Mike's memory, at least partly?

[@MrMoony233]

Fantastic content Matt. I can't wait to see the finished product as you are such a clever guy.

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thank you. It’s gonna be a while, but I’m excited to see it too.

[@steveraleigh100]

that's one beautifully made and aesthetic Bow Shed.

[@anthonyrondolino8148]

Nice job on the boat house…quick and built from engineered plans.

[@sanfranciscobay]

Projects go quickly when you've done it numerous times. Otherwise, it's a slow learning project.

[@irisgilliard4955]

That is so amazing Matt. That should keep the rain out while you work on your project.

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thanks Mimi :-). It’s working great so far.

[@jarring4]

Shoooweee doggy!! When's the merch hitting stores, I need a new t-shirt!!

[@TheDuracellProject]

Hold your horses diggity dog! You want a t-shirt made outta some old sails? We might be able to make that for you.

bespoke fiberglass hoodies 🤙🏼

[@seandelaney1700]

Beautiful shed mate, a wee bit open at the ends though. A friend rebuilt a 40' in a hand built shed on Lake Superior, wicked cold place Duluth is, solar heating helps when the sun is out but probably not much of that there.

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thanks man. Yeah the wind and rain are the problem here. I like the design a lot and i think it will have many uses in the future.

[@lindaperkins4571]

Matt you are so talented! I am really impressed and enjoying following this project!!!

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thanks so much Linda! We’re glad you’re enjoying it.

[@uhan33]

Love the project/channel/approach - learning lots, thanks to you guys!

cool, thanks Ewan, and welcome aboard

[@hansutstl1676]

Interesting project, Looking forward to seeing more

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thank you, there’s a lot to show.

[@jimedson3853]

Nice job on a cool shed design. Hope it does the job for you 👍👍☺️

[@TheDuracellProject]

Works great so far! Hopefully it won’t blow away!

[@edboyle5536]

Great shed!

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thanks you!

[@Bucksighter]

How has this structure held up? I seen some of your newer videos you're still working under it, are you happy with it? Anything you would've changed? Thinking of this style for a greenhouse. Thanks

[@TheDuracellProject]

I like it a lot. The only thing I would change is making it longer, which I probably will do. It’s great. Doesn’t leak, no maintenance, sheds rain and snow. It’s great/

[@andrewwilson4528]

Love the videos, Sailing Melody put me on to you. 👍

[@TheDuracellProject]

Welcome aboard, Andrew!

[@SalingSamantas]

Interesting build I was wondering how you did it. Thank for the video explanation.

[@theislandpackrat]

That looks great! And you can add on to it later if you need too!

[@TheDuracellProject]

Exactly. It will be very easy to expand if necessary, I think it will also make a great tiny home in the future.

[@Brian-os9qj]

I have interest in this build too

[@hopechannelcat5462]

the shed looks great. what is the overall size of the shed?

[@TheDuracellProject]

Twenty by twenty by twenty!

[@hopechannelcat5462]

@@TheDuracellProject thanks

[@d0mniQ]

what is the material for the roofing sheet?

[@livingforsail]

Matt, where did you source the 20’ 1x4s? I’m in NW Washington and looking to build a similar shed. Thanks!

[@TheDuracellProject]

i bought 20' two by fours from the local lumber store and ripped them.

[@2dogsnight]

Huge boat. Curious what you are going to make out of it. Good luck!!

[@TheDuracellProject]

Very big boat, and project. Thank you for watching.

[@lifesagamblesoletstakeachance]

Hi Matt, I am looking to build a bow shed over Chance for the long term part of Chance's restoration are there any plans for the design and specification for the size. Regards Simon Papendick Chance restoration project

[@TheDuracellProject]

here are the plans I used! www.lsuagcenter.com/portals/our_offices/departments/biological-ag-engineering/extension/building_plans/horticultural/greenhouse/gothic-rafter-greenhouse

[@marcryvon]

Wow, brilliant design ! Light and strong. Do you plan on closing the extremities ? I left my left my winter car shelter open and it created a wind tunnel, allmost lost it a couple of times.

[@TheDuracellProject]

No plans to do that now. It's working really well for my purposes.

[@jlee2740]

Hi, what is the red-hulled boat in the shed about the 3:28 mark? It looks a little like a Viper, but I think it's something different.

[@TheDuracellProject]

That's a little go-fast boat I built about 10 years ago. I'll tell ya more about it in the next episode!

[@prakashspex]

Great work,looks great ! What are the actual span measurements and how much did you spent?

[@TheDuracellProject]

About $2000 in materials. It's 20 by 20 by 20. Here's the plans: www.lsuagcenter.com/portals/our_offices/departments/biological-ag-engineering/extension/building_plans/horticultural/greenhouse/gothic-rafter-greenhouse
