Build the Mini Pump House
The mini pump house will be a box with a sloped hinged lid. I made some walls with 2×3’s and 1×8’s. Then screwed these together. And I’ll add an exterior grade plywood bottom.
And I can cut the end walls for the sloped top. I stained the box and added a top from plywood and attached it with gate hinges.
Cutting Slope in Side Walls
This plywood has a synthetic roofing felt tacked on then corrugated panels attached.
Hinged Lid
We temporarily set this box in place to see how it fits. And that’s pretty much all the carpentry work done.
