So its taken awhile but all the woodwork is done as described above and a bit more, I'm imagining I can really get stuck into this project over the winter now. A small problem has arisen though. It turns out the roof and door way to my workshop may be a touch too low! To the point I won't be able to get the get the hut out the workshop once its finished. I can take the wheels off the shepherds hut to make it about a foot lower and then build on it but how do I then get the hut out without any wheels to move it? The only answer is to put it on big wooden sort of sled I think and then pull it out with a tractor, I just hope said sled will turn out to be robust enough for the job.

What about lanoguard? Thats what I'm using on the rusty spot weld joints. The box sections actually look painted inside, on one end of the chassis at least, but I assume thats just as far as the paint sprayer or whatever they used to apply the paint could reach to.

Its not structural, hence not a full weld I assume, it just wasn't a very good paint job I suppose. It might be ok to leave it maybe? But I don't want to risk it so yeah I will grind and paint it probably.

Hello, I'm about to start building a shepherds hut I have the chassis but I'm a little hesitant to start building away on it I have some timber but I'm unsure about how to attach the timber to the metal frame does anyone here have any experience with this? I'm also worried about the best way to do it to limit rust to the frame and rot to the wood underneath. I would need either extremely long bolts or I could attach the wood using some sort of bracket I assume. Thoughts? Also regarding the metal chassis as you can see in the photo the welded joints have some superficial (for now) rust next to the weld spot, this is on every joint of which there are about thirty, should I do something with this or not worry about it? I don't really want to have it start rusting here after its been built on and have the chassis start falling apart years down the line because I didn't do something with it.
