  1. This is one of the best how to videos I’ve ever seen on an obscure but
    invaluable farm structure. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this.
    It’ll make it so much easier to have this and the cut list provided on your
    site. Good luck on a good season down there in southern Oregon this year.

  2. Hi Jeff, The cut list (excel & pdf) is at
    henselfamilyfarmsDOTcom/resources. There are also two helpful pictures in
    HD so you can really zoom in & see how the parts go together. The lids are
    a rectangular frame with one cross brace. We completely encircled the
    outside walls with 24″ chicken wire then put sheeting on the back half of
    the sides & the back side plus the back half of the top. One lid was
    sheeted and one covered with chicken wire. Back sheet comes off for more
    venting. Jim
