Currently have a wonderful Orion heavy duty tripod in base, loaded with the equally wonderful 130pds on a astroeq driven eq3-2 mount. Will be upgrading the mount eventually, but it works well for now
that looks awesome. just the sort of thing I was thinking about. the only difference in my mind was making the roof either as a whole or as two parts, open more like a clam - sort of ending up parallel to the sides. that way, I'd not need to space either side for when roof is open.
how do you find condensation and humidity though ? My worry with a steel shed like this would be it would not be possible to really keep it isolated enough from the outside to keep the humidity down (via dehumidifier, etc) - as I'm assuming I need to do that to protect the scopes, cameras, etc when not in use
That was my original idea for opening the roof, ie hinge it, but, you have to remember that metal sheds get their strength once they are built. If you were to hinge the roof you'd need really reinforce the inner walls to support the pivot and although the roof is really light it's still necessary.
The only benefit of the sliding garage door type to me was that I wouldn't need the clearance to the side fence as when open it would be parallel to the wall. But it would be a lot more engineering faffing. Maybe I'm over complicating things.
trying to find an in stock shed is like trying to find hen's teeth at the moment. amazon has some in stock - but they are clearly crappy chinese tinfoil. I reckon I'll just take the plunge and order a yardmaster 8x6. It'll give me time to concrete up a base and get a couple of piers made up locally.
Good thinking, because while the weather is still decent, it's ideal to get that cement base with dmp layer ) and pier, which I'd Def do if I were to do it again) down now, regardless of which type shed you want.
