Step 4Summer GerTee -- 2007
My first "real" gertee was made possible after I met a carpenter who had the tools to cut my 6 foot wall slats and make me a "real" roofring out of the leftover lumber. It was also most fortunate that he knew where to go to cut down 26 spruce poles for the roof beams.
The first attempt to build the frame was in April in the Mercantile parking lot in Kenny Lake, Alaska. I spent less than $200. USD to buy 2x4x8s, rope, plastic ties and 50 feet of screen. In May I took the frame down and moved to the back RV campground and started building it into a 22 footer with two doors. I ended up selling some of the wall slats and a roofring to the owner of T-Junction down in Chitina. I think what I ended up with was about 16 feet across.
Then I proceeded to cover it with an assortment of used materials.

I wonder how it will take a heavy snow load? Have you weathered any snowstorms in it yet? You certainly filled it up with "stuff" ! Just like home, yes?
