Hey Rudi, Love the fact that you went with lumber frame construction. Looks awesome. The size looks a little small for me, or maybe it's just deceiving in the video. Can't wait to get started on mine. Booked a portable sawmill to get my lumber cut this summer. Hopefully I can pour the pad before the frost. Great job. Congrats.

I built my sugar house 2 years back Mid winter. Crazy how much concrete was in winter plus a giant tarp and a salamander to keep the ground heated for a week prior and after. I lucked out and work for a material supplier so I studded 2x4s 16 on center a 20x30x10’ building with 6’ trusses 2’ soffits and sheathed it in with 7/16zip for under $1000

never not blown away by your talent 🤯👏🏻

I admire your skill and fortitude.

Great job!

awesome video

Any reason why you went with this size? Also any reason why you didn’t add any windows? Looks awesome! Good work!

Great thank you

That's awesome! Do you have any dimensions and plans you could share?

What size did you make your shack? Also, do you need to put wood on the roof before the metal roofing?

Hi there! Looks like a fantastic sugar shack. What are the dimensions?

Did I miss the size on this?

4x4 or 6x6 for the post and bean structure?

Full 4”x4”

What are the dimensions for your pad, and what wood did you use to cover the framing? The shack looks awesome!

Hi!! you have a plan of the sugar shack

How did you attach your walls to the pad? Did you bolt the walls to the concrete? If so, did you put the bolts into the wet concrete or did you drill after the concrete set and then use epoxy to lock them in?

Bolted building to concrete afterwards with wedge anchors.

Thanks. I know there's different ways to do it. I was curious how yours went together.

Good question. What I wonder is why most of these shacks don’t use stem walls down to frost. I know sheds often use pads only but that is because they are not technically heated. The evaporator changes that. I am debating if my sugar shack needs full on stem walls.

Simpson strong tie has an approved J bolt replacement call a Simpson Titan bolt. It’s a 1 to 1 replacement for J bolts. Just drill using a hammer drill and then bolt the Titan down.

What are the dimensions ?

How much did the materials cost for this?
