But there's something harmonious in the scale of the building with the trucks, isn't there.

Who engineered the roof loads on that shed..??Did he engineer in a snow load calculation..??
An Explanation of Rain, Rain-On-Snow, and Snow Loads Regarding Pre-Engineered Steel Structures
A complete understanding of precipitation loads is fundamental for any discussion of pre-fabricated structures, especially in areas that receive abundant precipitation. Design Snow Load portrays the maximum probable weight of snow that can be present on a roof at a given time. The expression of live load is very dependent on building and building occupancy, but snow load correlates specifically to location on the building. The design snow load amount is affected by the accepted ground snow quantity in any sector. One has to be sure that a proper ground snow number is applied in order to come up with the proper design snow load regarding a chosen steel building. These considerations include flat roof snow load, the ground snow load number, and also exposure and thermal computations. Calculations are subsequently revised for steeper slants of roofs.
The impact of air movement as well as melting are able to displace an amount of rooftop snow, causing the ground snow load quantity to be greater than any roof snow load quantity. There exist other common weather events, such as snow sliding or snow drift, which should be added into all totals. The snow load atop a lower structure’s roof should be boosted when there is a high pitched roof that exists which allows snow to slide downhill. Any build up of snow next to parapets and walls might develop into a concern. A greater amount of snow load should be added into this plan by taking all roof square footage and parapet and wall elevations into consideration. The amount of snow load can be four times more than is generally required for a lower roof that connects to a building wall over which a higher structure’s roof contributes sliding snow.
Better get it done before the next ice age..
Looks so flimsey that 'ROO POO is at ground level,luckily..
