My shop has a lean-to down one side and around the back. I want to close off all or 2/3rds of the back to store a small tractor and other yard tools. You can probably see in the pictures that the lean-to on the side is concreted, but the back is just gravel. I am not planning to insulate the space, I just want to keep out wind and rain, plus have a lockable space.
I can either do hardie plank to match the building or use treated lumber that I would stain to match the 6x6 posts. In either case, what's the best way to "frame" this out? My first thought is a treated 6x6 on the ground between each of the existing posts. Then divide the span in half with a vertical 6x6. That would allow me to use shorter boards to span the gap.
In the images below, the red posts are the existing ones, the blue are those I would add and the green boards are obviously the siding which is overlapping. Is there are better option?
