Thread: Suggestions for Mausoleum

Tweet

Hey all, I know there are some brilliant minds out there who can help me with ideas for this. I'd like to have a mausoleum in my cemetery. However, I don't have the storage space for it. I can barely fit all my decorations as it is. So, hubby had the idea of making one that can stay outside and be used as a storage shed for yard equipment the other 11 months of the year. There is a foundation for a shed already in the back yard from the previous owner. Ideally, in the off-season, the shed would be in the back, on the foundation. Then for Halloween, I'd like to move the shed from the back to the front yard for my display. Do you think something like this is possible? Perhaps I should also mention that I live in Wisconsin, so the shed would be exposed to all sorts of weather. What do you think?

Mine is built of plywood and covered with black plastic and the cinderblock brick scene setters.It is outside all year long I take my motor down after halloween and store it.
This is the first year since I have had it (3 years)that I will have to replace the plastic-and scene setters.It has held up well.

Take a look at mine from last year. I over-engineered it to be strong. I built the walls like you would build the walls of a house with studs 16 inches on center. Mine does come apart into 6 sections (4 walls, roof, and porch) but it could be left together. This thing stood up to 60+ mph winds last year without any problems. I would add a floor if you want to use it for perm storage.

Thanks for the input! So my idea isn't totally impossible. I can work with that
