The stands are from here and we have one XL- stand at the stern followed by two L-size models, amidships and in the bow. I know that they are probably slight overkill but better safe than sorry. So far I'm impressed by the quality and the range of adjustments that they provide.
As you can see it was a foggy day but at least it did not rain that much..
Here you see our new house. It is 12 meters long, 3,6 wide and slightly over 4 meters high. Naturally I was building the shelter during the week when the temperature had dropped below 0 celcius and the first snow came down. So, no pictures from the building phase but rest your eyes on the finished result. Its up and seems to keep rain and even hold the winds. I'm impressed since I did not actually have any blueprints in mind while building it. The structure combines the best practices that I saw at the harbour.
The cover and the ends came from here "SAMPO Super White". Its medium weight cover and the best part is that it allows 35 percent of light penetration so I can even do some small chores in the boat late at night using only the ambient light that's used to light the harbor. We'll see how it keeps up with wind and rain later along the way.
This pic was shot inside the house at around nine pm. Used only mobiles lousy led flash...
I use cargo straps with ratchets to snug things up, you may see the 2x2 beam that's nearly touching the ground, this is where the straps are secured. Naturally the ratchets are hanging from the cover, so I have nearly two meters of snow clearance. This evening I tried to shake the "house" and noticed that the cover in place and tightened with the ratchets actually support the structure pretty nicely. No movement, only a slight bent to allow for the heavy winds... Nice..
