this front wall was made from dog eared fence boards. I had bought a bunch to make wind breaks in Out yards and my back yard for the bees.
Here at home I dug holes and put in fence post to anchor it to.
Couldn't do that on property I didn't own so tried to use stakes and braces but strong winds seemed like every two weeks and it would be down. Abandoned the Idea, went to useing straw bales and that worked much better for me.

So the wall is the front and is from the wind break expermint recycled.

The back frame where the door will go. Ran out of 1.5 stock to finish the frame. going to try to visit the site where the barn was torn down to see if I can salvage any more like for the front and sides I cut down.
