For those of you looking at the Supercheap carport ( 6 x 3 )as a cheap shed, try ebay and search for marquees. I was able to purchase a 6 x 3 $81.00 and a 9 x 3 for $105.00 ( I made sure they were from the same supplier for continuity), freight was $140.00 to Brisbane for the 2 so I am way in front of the $600 for 2 supercheap carports. I am using these to build the hulls under before moving to a friends property to put the thing together. I also jagged an extra heavy duty tarp 14 x 11m from a guy who was replacing his roof for $105.00. As for the steel pipe I have 100m of scaffolding pipe to make the shed frame. Some of the scafolding companies is Brissie cost the pipes for each job and if you know somebody in the business you may be able to scrounge some for nicks. I am an ebay junkie.
Thanks
