Ya know, I've had about 15 trapping sheds over the years and have never had a permanent one that I could put time into.

I'm coming up on my 15th and final move in 25 years. Seems we pruned a bunch of the shed talk.

I'm squaring away my house for retirement from the Marines. My new shop is 30x50 and has a 20x50 lean to as well. Who's got the ideas and pictures for me to start modifying?

Non-scandalous pictures, please. Lol.

I'm getting mine set up this year too so no pics but wish ya the best of luck John. I have no doubt yours will be anything less than great. Hope you give us a step by step when you get to setting it up

what ever you build, double it!

Kansas Cates, I reckon I can do that. But if people don't start posting in here I'm gonna have to start building the wall myself.

John check out the "furshed tricks and tips" below.

I read that one. It's excellent but the setups and pictures is what I need. Peekers, I'm a Marine.....I need photos. Lol.

We're gonna make this thread so good the boys from the hood will be wanting in. Lol.

My idea - find you a good old WWII vintage or earlier Pot Belly Stove to heat the place with.

Didn't know you were a trapper!
Put something like this on the wall

30x 50 holy crap you can park a reefer truck in their and still have tons of room! Start buying high intensity fluorescent lights! a buddy of mine built one a tad smaller30x 40 and heats it with radiant floor heat hooked to a wood boiler. we zoned it so his drying room stays around 50 degrees the rest stays 65-70 no fans! Having a blank canvas would be great!The next reality show will be pimp my FUR SHED!!

Tony, I don't smoke reefer. I don't k ow what I'd do with a truck load of it. Lol.

The entire shop has heated floors. I don't think it's on zones though...thst would have been nice. But I'll look today. Yeah, she's big.


Saskers, get out of my office. Lol. Those hooks are for a catch all and the metal strips are magnets for knives - neither of which are good in a prison.

30' x 50'? That's slightly larger than my 8' x 8' shed!

mines 24x40,love my overhead door to back in and unload and load for the next day,so floor drain.

Peekers, I have 2 floor drains. And a shower and kitchen and bathroom. Plenty of fluorescent lighting already. It's basically an empty rectangle now.

Prorat, I worked out of a 5x8 shed for a few years.

And it has a loft in the back.

Gosh, there were some good threads on here with great stuff.

thats just plain cheatin.

You have a kitchen, bathroom, and shower in your new fur shed????
Man with heated floors you would have the sweetest "doghouse" to hang out in if the Mrs tossed you out for the night!
Run cable out there so you can have the news or a game on while skinning, and you are set!!!
You need a fridge for beers and snacks, and a card table so rest of us can come over and have something to do while we give you advice on your new fur shed setup.

Check out any of the LED ceiling light fixtures from Menards, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. Lot of light for much less wattage, never have to replace a bulb. Put two in my garage and one in the bathroom. Almost like turning on the sun. I have talked with farmers that have replaced all of their fluorescent fixtures in barns with led's.

well John, I happen to know a fella that can do the remodeling for you
Course it would have to be done in the winter while coyotes are prime
