Range Cover Upgrade (Amish Barn Building Association)

[Deplorable Me]

My home club started upgrading their outside range in August. They've been designing and planning for two months. Last week they set the 6x6 columns. Yesterday we started the roof framing.

The work party was supposed to start at 0900 but a number of early riser started the roof framing at 0815. We had about 15 screw guns on site and a pile of batteries. Zero nails. The lower photo shows the final framing at about 1530. The crew worked solid from 0830 to about 1600.

Right now we're on a waiting list for the steel roofing due to back orders for hurricane repairs. We should see it by mid November. Next spring they'll be adding additional dirt and fill for berm upgrades.

Range is limited to 100 yards due to downrange neighbors who are also club members.

So do you plan to dismantle the old range cover by having an “open range cook out and timber shredding day” event?

Bonfire!



Looking really nice, @Deplorable Me.

Steel roof magnifies the noise. It gets to a point where ear plugs don't help. The noise is transmitted through the scull. If it's not too late consider a different material for the covering.

This is a 600yd line at Cumberland Rifleman in Millville, NJ. It is very nice and only a little louder than uncovered firing line. Also transmits light well.

If you decide, maybe you can ask them what they used.

I'm liking the roofing material.

This looks like what they used, but to be sure I would ask them. They did this only a few years ago, so their supplier should be still in business.
I think this material contains fiberglass for strength, but I am only guessing.
It's milky white, not clear color.

I've seen this roofing in green, red, blue, translucent. I'm very sure, positive actually, that it is still readily available.
