Thanks Cpd, That's good advice. I'll need to apply for planning permission as we're in a national park, so I'll definately need to sort design early on!

That's great. The building will be used to store bikes, lawnmower, garden chairs and some DIY stuff. I've got space for a rough external measurement of 3.6m x 2.7m or 12' x 9'. What I can't work out is how to construct the walls - options: 1 traditional construction would be solid stone with no cavity 2 single block then stone clad - possibly best for internal space. 3 double block with cavity then stone clad - I think this would reduce the internal size too much. 4 double block with cavity then rendered - this would actually fit in quite well as most farm buildings in the village are rendered and painted white. The building doesnt need to be warm - just dry and secure. I'd also like it to last a few hundred years like the builings around it. What do you think?

Hello! I'm hoping to build a solid shed in our garden. The plan is to make it look like a small stone bothy or farm buidling so the roof will be pitched with slate and the walls blockwork and then faced with natural local stone. Before I ask loads of questions - has anyone on here done this? cheers Trev
