For our final shed design, we decided that our main focus would be ease
of assembly. After discussing several methods
we decided on a
type of collapsable shed that would be shipped in one piece. This
would allow for the easiest
assembly possible for the consumer.
Folding and telescoping designs were developed and our final
decision was to go
with a crank and telescoping arms from a pop-up
camper.
We were able to acquire a Coleman lifting system from Rec tech in Holden, ME.

Renewables
Program website.
