I have just installed several sheets of the the FRP in Dog kennel room I'm building in my garage. I got the sheets at lowes and you do have to glue and/or use the plastic rivets to hold the FRP to either drywall or plywood. I used 7/16 osb as my backer board. So osb (7$) + FRP (25$)+ trim pieces...

I can see what you're going for but it is a little creepy...

Look, you wouldn't drive your car on your roof. Why, because if did you would most likely flex your roof in ways it's not made to flex and your tire could punch through the plwood due to having the weight contact in one point. Now if you had a overhead crane place your car on your roof gently...

Yes but remember your house is designed to handle the weight ditrubuted over a large span and not 3500 lbs in a 6' x 12' area. As far as Billy Bob spending $250.00 at home depot and designing this contraption with Johnny Ray over a 12 pack..this is no comparison to structural engineers...

TOMSMITH: Please make a video of the 1st time you use these, I am cutious how this will work out. Thanks.

First of all, I would move out of the subdivision you're in and move to a place that strangers can't tell you what to do with the house you're paying for. I have a buddy who lives in a nearby sudivision and they tell him he can't have a shed, his house can only be a certain color, his garage...

Re: Bomb Shelter Shed Project: New Construction Build Thread WOW! That's a heck of alot of concrete for a shed..?..! Round here we just either sink posts in the ground, build a wood platform on blocks or pour a small concrete pad. Nice work! Keep the updates coming. :thumbup:

This building method is no different than putting posts in the ground and pouring concrete around them like a pole barn. So yes it should work just fine.

After a year and a half wait the barn floor got poured! The sealer went on today. Had to remove the man door due to being too low for the floor, I'll reinstall shortly. Within the next week and a half I'm having two aprons around the barn poured too. On on the front and one big one on the side...

I am in northern Indiana near Lake Michigan. How about you?

I have my concrete quote and gave the contractor the go ahead! He should start on pouring my new barn floor in 10 days! I'm also having him pour a 4 ft deep pad up front and a 6' x 24' pad on the side of the barn. I'll post pics when it's started.

More building pics! Rafter Construction Inside looking out no roof.

Yes this will be heated and insulated. I haven't decided how I want to finish the walls yet though...Maybe halfway up with metal pole barn interior siding then peg board???
