We only manage to get an extra 10x8 outbuilding by proclaiming it was a "recycling store". Edited August 21, 2017 by Barney12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simplysimon Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 60'x30', a big meccano kit! first one i've done and i'm quite pleased!, 'insulation' is the fibre cement roof. need a decent size to build the kit in, will end up as 2/3 stabling 1/3 workshop/garage for me. it's surprising what you can do with a tape, a water level and a merlo! simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger440 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 What did you do for foundations? Are they 1 metre cubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC45 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I've just completed a shed like that for a mate. We dug holes and then poured a concrete base in each hole - all at the correct depth - frame then sat on these. Worked out well for us. Others bolt them down. We put around a m3 around each leg.

Simplysimon Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 @Roger440 started out at m3 but i was unhappy with condition of ground, went down 1.5m and then hardcored back up. @CC45 did you use bolt boxes/cones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hmm, well, I've got shed envy then. I could just about put both our houses and shed and cars and garden in the section of shed shown in the photo. Well, nearly. The answer to life is excellent storage.

CC45 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 No, we decided that the two of us were unlikely to get them in accurately enough. We dug holes and then put a level concrete base in them - the frame sat on these. We squared it up and then filled the holes in. Took 3 of us a day in total.

Nickfromwales Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 If that's the shed, how bigs the house ?!? Can I be rude and ask what the kit alone cost ? Looks like a great solution, will there be a mezzanine? A lot of useful space up high there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofter Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 With a shed that size you will have lots of new best friends. And then you will find you need a bigger shed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
