Modular outdoor shed

Abstract

A knockdown building which will enclose a well, a pump, a water tank, or the like. The building has a roof comprised of several sections each of which has a sleeve which will accommodate a post in the set up condition of the building. The posts are set in the ground and support the building.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a housing structure, and more particularly to an easily assembled, easily knocked down building which can be erected through slidable engagement of the various component members.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Easily assembled building structures are often required for numerous purposes. For example, during the warm months, it is often desirable to erect a temporary shed in a backyard for housing summer equipment such as bicycles, garden tools and the like. Since the shed is taken down after a number of months, it must be of a type that can be easily erected and easily knocked down.[0003]Furthermore, many, if not most, homeowners are interested in various home improvements, and often are in need of additional supplementary structures or outbuildings on their residential property. As tools and equipment are acquired (garden tractors, powered tillers, and other tools and equipment), a need often arises for a storage spac...

Benefits of technology

[0010]Using the building embodying the present invention will permit a homeowner to quickly and easily set up a sturdy building which surrounds and encloses equipment that might otherwise be exposed to the elements. The building is sturdy yet is also aesthetically pleasing.

Problems solved by technology

In most cases, the walls of such structures are fixed, and wall panels cannot be selectively and temporarily opened and closed, resulting in relatively dark storage sheds and the like, which often build up relatively high humidity therewithin which can be damaging to equipment and articles stored therein.

Unfortunately, there is little that can be done to alleviate this problem with such storage sheds and the like.

Other structures (gazebos, sun rooms, etc.) often include open panels, but generally these panels cannot be selectively closed.

In some instances, shades or curtains may be installed for privacy or shade, but these components are not a part of the structure, and do not provide secure sealing or closure of the structure as a permanent wall panel would.

While various structures may be available for this purpose, they often present difficulties in the erection or in maintaining a secure structure.

When the structure is easily assembled, frequently it is not sturdy enough to last for a sufficient period of time and results in a dangerous condition subject to collapse.

In those situations where adequate sturdiness is provided, the interconnection becomes more complex and it is no longer a simple matter to erect, and knock down.

In many cases, complex tools are needed and often skilled labor is also required.

Still further, the inventor is not aware of any such structure that can be used to enclose a well or a pump associated with such a well.
