New shed options

[123hotchef]

Frame couple inches overhang tyvek batten then cladding, with wood dry is good wet is bad , guttering is also important , overhang of the roof should be as large as practical all round , on the uk workshop a woodworking forum there was a sticky post regarding shed build , a concrete slab is probably req if you have heavy machines or massive lumps to store anything 2 blokes could lift would be fine on a 12 inch centre 4 or 6x2 frame with 18mm ply on , this could be on block piers , put dpc on these, these are just my thoughts and limited experience , hth , don't fancy your intention of humping tons of concrete gear through house, we met when you bought my welders, I now live in a tiny hamlet in the county of my birth , Cornwall

Huh i remember now the sip welders wasnt it, I originally didnt want to start with a concrete base, becase of the logistics of taking it through the house, but I got talked into it. my plan was to make block piers and support the frame on this then use joists and insulate between the joists. its only 4x4m I will be starting next week I hope. one way or another

ok i am still thnking about the floor concrete or wood. I plan to have the fly press in this shed I think unless I sell it! and the bench pilar drill

the more you prat around trying to choose what you want to use for the floor the more you wont decide

heavy machines do require a stable floor and then you have to consider how you get them there so a wood floor would be hard to travel over compared to a straightish floor

nothing too heavy going in! not like the lathe or mill! once the garage is cleared a bit I can have heavier stuff dumper in there by hi hab if need be

Do I need pressure treated timber for this shed build

 

[rosinante]

Yes, any timber merchant CL regularised sections eg 100 x 47 mm 50x47mm etc, work out what you need and email local merchants for quotes ,

oh i have insulation to go in just unsure of what order to put things

 

[rosinante]

My ceilling is 18mm ply which forms a vapour barrier , then insulation , tyvek membrane ,batten to provide 25mm air gap then galv box profile , no condensation , building also has solar powered vent fans, if you put the tin on the osb it will cause condensation on the board resulting in mould ,ask me how I know , google will help , ie cold roof system , or warm roof system ,explanations are pretty good , I am not a builder but that's my experience in the sheds, garage roofs Ihave done ,
