This is one of the best how to videos I’ve ever seen on an obscure but invaluable farm structure. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this. It’ll make it so much easier to have this and the cut list provided on your site. Good luck on a good season down there in southern Oregon this year.

Hi Jeff, The cut list (excel & pdf) is at henselfamilyfarmsDOTcom/resources. There are also two helpful pictures in HD so you can really zoom in & see how the parts go together. The lids are a rectangular frame with one cross brace. We completely encircled the outside walls with 24″ chicken wire then put sheeting on the back half of the sides & the back side plus the back half of the top. One lid was sheeted and one covered with chicken wire. Back sheet comes off for more venting. Jim
