Shed photo diary

Just in case anyone is interested in making their own shed, I thought I'd put the pics all in one place.

I was given 34 sheets of 18mm OSB so it's super sturdy and otherwise I spent £500 on timber and another £100 for ironmongery and roof felt.

And as ever my time was free...

Used mostly old 5" posts dug in and secured with postcrete.

There were a few comments that these will rot over time but I'm hoping they will stay fairly dry as they are covered by the shed.

OSB down on the shed area.

And the decking for the shelter.

Made up the wall panels...and

Got some help from a couple of local beauties to rattle it together.

Roof on so now to make at water tight as possible using up what I've got left lying about the site.

Building paper used up and some felt on roof number one.

Stared the cladding which matches the Hut.

It's getting really Heath Robinson now is I try and cobble the shelter bit together from the odd bit of leftover timber.

Nearly there...

Looking good, so now to turn attention to the innards

Jazzy donated shelving

And finally a use for those big hooks I bought two years ago...knew they would be handy for something???
