Outside Tank roof cover

Marauder · 08-11-2015, 11:53 AM

Does anyone have any suggestions how to build a simple roof cover over an outside Kerosene tank, or for someone to build it for us? Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions

A-frame type structure with 4x4 for legs and 2x4 for supports and then plywood for roof and then shingles

all pressure treated of course, nice day project

Thanks for your suggestion, it would be great if I could find someone to do it also.

I'm sure any handyman could do it
I do not know of any in the area

You can skip the shingles if you use P/T. Next spring, after it's weathered, prime it with reddish Rust-O-Leum then paint to match your house.

Good luck
