Cob: Re OFF TOPIC roofs on pole buildings

[Amanda Peck]

I didn't get in on the beginning of this, which has never stopped me yet.

Pull-behind travel trailer?  If I had a place where a 2-car carport could 
conveniently be located eventually, I'd put the trailer under one of those 
seven- or eight-hundred dollar carports.  Ugly, but useful.  And if 
collecting rainwater would be useful, probably pretty good for that as well. 
  It would cut down on the light, one of the nice things about my travel 
trailer, but....

Around here, mobile homes occasionally get encased in a pole frame with a 
roof.  With a long, roofed deck on the front, all of a sudden they look 
pretty good.  Once again, this might be economically feasible if you needed 
a pole barn there eventually.

Anything to avoid flapping tarps getting loose in a thunderstorm with 
twenty-five mile an hour winds and plenty of lightning.   Trying to go 
outside and minimize the damage in a storm might well involve medical bills 
that would have made the more expensive solutions cheap.
