Weather was one of the biggest problems to overcome. I never did get a proper temporary shelter to construct the barn. We started off with inexpensive tarps with aluminum frames. They worked for a little while and then were demolished during some high winds. I tried to move on to some tarps over the partially constructed frame, but the wind ripped those to shreds too. If I had to do it again, I would buy a metal garage port that I saw at WalMart last week for about $500. I've seen the $1095 version but the WalMart one was pretty much the same thing.
