Hi all, I made a 3 sided pallet shed. It is quite strong etc. except for the front, which wobbles slightly. I currently have a diagonal bracing piece of timber and while that is on, it is extremely solid, but when it's off, at it will need to be so the horses (who the shed is made for) can enter. Any ideas?

Have you installed substantial diagonal bracing in the plane of the roof?
I have installed one diagonal bracing wire, but unsure of effect, but I will try the other diagonal to see if that helps.
I built it similar to this one, but without any pallets at the front. No cladding yet, but roof on.

You will require bracing both diagonals on the roof, and the back wall.
Once the cladding is fixed that will also help to stiffen up the structure.

I would use Pryda Speed Brace for the roof as this is typically used for bracing roof trusses. For best effect, install it in pairs as cross bracing
