Thanks guys,
My garage is detached from the house and the plan is to build this unit along side the garage near my greenhouse.
I suppose I can push the width to 7 or 8'. After that it will extend into the lawn area and look out of place.
Ok...So the size can be 8 X 10ft long.
It is a very sheltered area so I'm not concerned about winds.
The Garage and shed are about 18 ft. from the house and the intended insulation is fire retardant rock wool (Roxul).
That leaves the base...
dieselgman's idea of a steel skid is interesting, I do have access to a place where I could get a steel skid built. That may provide the mass to simply be able to
set the building on a gravel pad and have done with it. Getting a 1000lb steel skid over my fence and placed in the yard may be an issue, but it is possible.
My wood frame structure could then be built (and bolted) onto the steel skid. The idea is to have a pretty looking garden shed with nice shingles and siding so that it looks good, but diguises the true raw diesel power hidden inside. Must keep the aesthetics in order
Perhaps a 6"X6" wood frame base would work the same way. I have to evaluate that.
Anyone else done this? Ideas?
Thanks so far,
Veggie
