My 10x16 sugar shack completed

[Eric in Kinburn]

I've posted pictures of it before, but here are a couple of pictures of it completely finished (I did the windows a couple of months ago). 10x16 with steel shingles and pavers for the floor.

Thanks for looking.

Very Nice! It won't be long and you can enjoy your new setup!

Very nice. What size pan do you have in there?

Thanks! I've actually enjoyed the setup for the past 2 years. I just got around to making the windows. Much nicer than the 6 mil poly I had :lol:

It's a 18"x48" D&G. I have added a pre-heating pan since and I also have a 16"x16" propane finisher.

Are those brick pavers on the floor? If so what do you have for a base? I have thought about doing the same thing.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but yes they are pavers. I made a rectangle out of 6x6 PT timbers and filled it with gravel and put pavers on top to be even with the timber.

Yes you answered my question. Just wondered what you had under the pavers. Looks great.

I have 300 of those same pavers, freebies . I was hoping to have it for this season , but its last on the list . The guy I bought my evap from has the same with a simple drain in the middle . Someday I'll burn the shanty :lol: . Very nice sugarshack you built by the way .

Thanks! Mine were not free, but pretty cheap and that was a requirement :)

That is an awesome set up, hardly a shack! Liked the prgress photos on your website. Any reason why you went with a 10' width, seems like everyone here goes 12' wide or greater? Just curious, as I am in planning stages of a shack that is probably a couple years away from being built.

Nice looking place!

Thanks for the kind comments. No particular reason for 10' wide instead of 12'. I really didn't want to have too big a building. I only have a bit more than 4 acres to play with so I know I can't expand my production to more than 85 trees. Everyone on this forum suggests to build bigger than you need now and I believe it to be a good advice in general, I just didn't think it applied to my situation and so far I haven't been disappointed.

Very nice looking sugar house. I love the cupola.

It looks like you still have plenty of room for more equipment so you must have sized it right for you size of operation.

You should cut in a maple leaf design on the floor with red pavers. That would look awesome! It would also be a ton of work!!

Yeah, I'm not about to re-do the pavers in there, but you've given me an idea for a painted/stenciled maple leaf design on the floor. Maybe one day :)

Very nice shack. I'd be proud to work in that!

Thank you and yes I am very proud to work in there. Unfortunately due to my dad's death I don't have time to do the maple run this year. Can't wait for next year!
