I hate to be a bore, but.. did zoning come into play? I know a place that had to tear theirs down once the city found out.

- psim1 5y agoIn my part of the US, a temporary structure does not require a permit or zoning allowance, while a permanent structure does. When we build sheds to meet the "temporary" definition, they are built on top of cinderblocks and not a poured concrete foundation. In this case, the author built his shed directly on top of his patio, so I am curious whether this would be considered a permanent or temporary installation.

- codazoda 5y agoI think this would still be temporary in my area because you can pick it up and put it on a flatbread trailer. The wiring might change that. I think there are still lots of rules to follow.
- robotresearcher 5y agoBonus points for the temporary trailer.
- rzzzt 5y agoThe question is how many flatbreads you need for building one.
