Height of the rubrail off the ground at both tower legs might help. Those Eagle trailers jack the boat (inboards) up to the moon! Remind me of the European trailers.

It'd have to vary by + 6" I'd say...I'll do a little measuring and see where it's at exactly but from what I saw a 10ft door should fit most early 2000's with a tower. ...should

Good news, Sporty came home from winter storage this past weekend..fits in the door with the tower up! 10ft door, if anyone's curious...and it had quite a bit of room to spare.

Yea, well...it's after the fact, shed is up, obviously don't need any size help at this point. There was nothing else in the post other than "Dude, your shed sucks but THIS ONE, THIS is the one you should have built." Or so it feels to me. Maybe I'm judging too harshly

The Amish in our local area built it. Building with insulated doors/windows was right at 20k, Concrete was 8k, Electrical around 1k, another 1k for lights etc etc...

All gravel for concrete/driveway/road and labor was on the house as my uncle owns the quarry in town. So, we did that on our own.

I had it quoted to finish the inside with insualtion and steel but that was at 5500 so we are undecided. Our budget was 30 and we're right at it at this point. I believe we are going to do the rest on our own.

I have some space limitations, so mine will be 28x48x10 with 8x9 doors on the narrow end...hopefully enough for 2 smallish boats and 2 cars with some room to work.

Shed is up! Loving it so far...

Things left:
-run rest of electrical/outlets/switches/overheadlights/fans
-door opener install
-insulate walls/ceiling/steel
-anything else I can afford

We ended up putting an attic in the rafters, the stairs to them are on a winch and will hide in the ceiling when not in use.
