I want to have vac in a seperate cabinet or room outside of the sugar shack
Would love it to be quiet in the sugar shack.
I would appreciate any thoughts on design consideration for it?
It is 3hp dry vane pump.

You don't need to have the pump next to the releaser so you can put the pump as far away as you want to run power and have the releaser in the sugarhouse or wherever the tank is.

I built an 8'x8' insulated sap shack with a 4'x8' lean to in my woods. Lean to is for my vac pump which is gas powered so could'nt keep it inside but wanted to keep some weather off it. I also put a workbench and shelves in it and store all my tapping supplies and tools in there. So far it's worked out great.15983159841598515986

I built it in my shop and put it in place with my tractor. It also has electricity which runs off 12v battery and inverter which gives me lights and power to charge drill batteries and run other small power tools.
