A-Frame sugar house

[hitnspit]

Just started putting this together. Have not seen one around and thought why not make it an A-frame.

You will just need more stack. The stack will need to be 3' above the peek, or 3' above the highest point within 10'. It should look nice.
We like lots of pictures.

How wide is it at the floor and how tall?

How will you design the cupola?

I look forward to seeing it take shape.

The floor is just over 12 feet wide and we are 16 feet high. The cupola ( well that will be a few brains coming together when its time ) We hope to add to the walls today. My material is all free. Where I work we have sheet metal delivered on 8 X 4 pallets. All hard wood and darn heavy. Cant wait to add new pics as we go. Been a slow go.

Are the pallets just setting on the ground? If yes, you will need to have easily adjustable legs on your evaporator, the pan needs to be level and it could shift often.

[hitnspit]

Yes and no. The feet of the pallets that are in contact with the ground we put 6 inches of pea stone done to keep it off the dirt.

That will help to keep the pallets from rotting so quickly, but they still have no foundation. Simply design a method to re-level the pans as the frost comes out of the ground. They will likely need to be re-leveled a few times during the season. It can be done.
