Corrugated Iron Workshop Renovation.

personally if the main frame is good ....get it squared up, easy to stiffen with steel plates...
then use insulated steel roof panels, chuck in the odd clear one if i need extra light....
the sides I'd do the same.....
once the roof is on u can then take ur time......
incidentaly it took two of us to lift and fit a 7,5m double skinned insu metal roof panel...better with 3 tho.....
we (2 of use) got an 7,5m x 11,5mL roof paneled in a morning...I used "C" section purlins as that all I could buy here......
block work is to slow ....
all my wall furniture is free standing made from 3/4 ply....

Matt you need to start again. That sheds not near big enough for all the "stuff" you keep buying and hiding from the wife.

 

[addjunkie]

ha ha start afresh! its quicker and easier! ask me how I know

I concur.
Order a kit building the right size. Bing hang bosh, job done in 3 or 4 days.

I refurbished an old stone barn. For the roof structure it was far cheaper and quicker to just order pre made trusses through a builders merchant than it would have been remaking trusses etc.

Avoid breezevlocks. Any fixings just fall out over time

Ooo, bigger than it looked from the outside... I wondered if you had headroom for a lift with a car on it.
If you seal the corrugated metalwork, concrete block some pillars in for the I beam you can just insulate the inside. You won't have condensation issues. I'm never sure about kingspan type stuff and fire - it needs to be covered with something?

Yep, enough headroom to lift a car, quite high.

A van, less high.

Would it be feasible to prop up/level the entire roof structure and build in new sides off the new slab?

That's an absolutely brilliant idea, 10 points that man. Thanks.

No, too much work.

not on my budget. And it's a restoration.

Whether I use concrete or breeze blocks, there's going to be 80mm of insulation, 19mm ply, so shelves will have to be attached to verticals attached to the ply (I think).

True, but what stops your ply falling out.

the only benefit to breezeblocks is their r value and they’re easier on the bricklayers back. You’ve already got the insulation. So your only benefit is the weight.

I like the rustic tin/corrugated

Ok, I got you.

First cup of coffee.

Yeah, me too, going to put up mesh and grow climbing plants up it too.

Proper rustic like

No to breeze blocks from me too...
Whatnexactly do you need to hang off you walls anyway - buy some scrap tube and weld up some free standing shelves.

 

[Barking Mat]

No to breeze blocks from met too...

Ok, I got that, never thought of the difference before.

never really done much block work.

Block work is a very therapeutic pastime..

Get Myley Syrus in

328 × 185

Never get anything done then....

I'm going to divide the workshop.

2/3 Machine / welding shop.

1/3 2 post lift, for working on cars and vans, a wall between the two, so the machine shop can be kept nice and warm, I've a spare wood burning Rayburn to go in there.
Ceilings at 2.2 meters +-.

Here's the rough plan.View attachment 285330

just to note here i wouldnt want a wood burner near anything that is oiled as it would suffer drying out the oil

and its much better being near a door for easy access of wood

 

[gaz1]

anyway as ive said yours is a raised tie roof truss

you can make them easily enough

bottom right design

Raised Tie Trusses - Roof Construction - Northern Architecture

The extended rafter sections clearly carry the whole of one side of the truss, necessitating a larger section of timber for the sloping ceiling length. All

www.northernarchitecture.us

now because you want to add a ceiling you can use a different truss instead and add to your other beams

due to its length

parrallel cord would be the better option

the metal version
