building a shed w/tarps

Posted by Poor guy on August 09, 2005 at 12:20:19 from (207.90.68.22):

Hey guys, I was the one that wanted to protect a tractor from the weather inexpensively.
I was thinknign about building a cheap temporary structure out of 2x4 and tarps.
Would basically be 2x4 framework nailed to a baseboard and then I would cover it with a tarp.
I would anchor the unit down to prevent blowing away.
I am looking for info on how close do I have to have the 2x4's to each other to keep the tarps from sagging to much...I was thinkning about putting them every 3-4 feet. Also, how would I keep the tarps from tearing when I wrap it around a corner on the roof top. I'd like the 2 long sides and the top to be all 1 canvas...
Thanks for the ideas!
