    To make one you can take down will require it to be light weight unless you have a tractor with a bucket or access to one or a team of helpers. I suggest you set 4 poles permanently, one at each corner, then build the 4 removable sides and 2 roof panels that can each be removed, one at a time. On the roof I suggest however that you use plywood under the steel roofing. Then leave the peak open a few inches on one side and extent the roof to over lap that open portion by 6-10" to minimize rain/snow getting in. Build a door in one wall, maybe a window (could even be greenhouse plastic) in the other walls. You might want a cable across the 2 side walls at midpoint to prevent spreading.
    I built a shooting house that way, but just 4'x4'. The roof was wired on, using 14G tie wire, 2 ties at each corner as were the 4 corners. I never did take it apart.

    Dave Klish, I recently bought a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
