Observatory finally finished

is that an off the shelf shed or did you build from scratch Simon ?

I built it from Scratch Dave, a lot of Blood, Sweat and Tears went into it too

Fine job ya made of it too! *tipps cap!

like it a lot. been trying to plan one myself for a long time now !

Dave

One tip for you

When you draw it out on paper......forget what you have drawn!!!

I am happy enough with it, there's a few things I would have done differently or will do differently if I ever build another one, but this one works well for me

Simon

Its the roof design and how big of a pier id need that's stumping me.
the walls and floor I would use standard sizes so I would not have to cut too much

Simon,
Congrats on the observatory.
They really are a great aid to the hobby.
I initially had a ROR observatory and later upgraded to a dome.
A few questions, the answers of which may be beneficial to others here:
1. Why not go with a roll-off roof?
2. How did you weather seal the apex of the roof?
3. How does the roof remain supported on a windy night's observing?
Michael.
