Tennentslager Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I'm thinking of putting this shed in the corner of the plot so that it marks the boundary (we are in the middle of a wood) and faces into the garden. I've an idea of having a covered decking area with sheds on either side, giving a outdoor work place or maybe somewhere nice to sit. Tool store idea is to have two doors with plenty hanging space and a shelved area inside. Roof is plain (felted) and slopes back from the front to the rear. Happy to rethink...any comments?

Crofter Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I guess your location is fairly sheltered? Personally I would be looking to make the covered area more enclosed. It's definitely a rather complex design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 It is complicated but hey that's the fun.? The weather comes from the opposite direction to the opening so I'm sure it'll be good. Not as sure about storing hundreds of squids worth of kit in the tool store but in a full year of stuff lying about the site not a single thing has sprouted legs... It is well sheltered too. Big for trees and 2m high bush everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 possibly the best technical drawing I have seen only thing i would suggest is making the tool shed bigger.... e.g big enough for the bikes and then keep the tools in the big shed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Your shed is really two sheds isn't it. Can I suggest you think about what happens when it's finished as planned... and you sit there on the decking with a drink (Lager maybe?) and eye the gap between the two sheds. And then it starts to rain. Plan to bridge the gap while you build the two sheds. (Oh, you might also design and build a midge machine gun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'm flat out jealous and it looks the mutts nuts to me. A nice little retreat with that decked area. A good place to hide, but then again so is the whole build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennentslager Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 I wanted to call it Gumtree Lodge but Amanda said no...it's not a lodge or a cottage. And Gumtree Hut doesn't sound right...but Mutts Nutts Hut, now that's got a ring to it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennentslager Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Resurrecting this as it's time to crack on and get it built before Christmas...can you hear me @Onoff ? I got 40 sheets of 18mm structural OSB for free and they are on site. cladding will be larch horizontal overlap style. Now, originally was going for a 4*2 frame with OSB on the outside. But I've so much OSB might double it up inside too. this being the case I could do the frame in 2*2 and save some cash...thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I wired a whole house where the owners had OSB as the finished internal face. They loved it. I hated it, it looked like an erm, shed. So 2 by 2 frame, 18mm OSB inside and out, and timber cladding outside. Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they'd done my lounge.....some clown did the walls in hardboard on <25mm tile battens. The 35mm dry lining boxes used bow the walls out. At least they were good enough to finish it in woodchip!
