New shed options

[123hotchef]

So is this new shed going to be the new play area?

Half storage half play. But I will have a 3x3 m covered court yard behind to play under.

O i love the car port

 

[Ashley Burton]

Many projects I did under mine! Never let rain stop play which was always great

So does your garage behind your carport not go through to your garden then?

 

[123hotchef]

Hum it's full.to.the brim i have decking where the side door exits so it is 3 steeps up through a narrow low door

Are you sure your building a big enough shed?

hum it wont be but the court yard will certainly be a bonus

no chute here! he wants to mix it in the hole and move the mixer about, I only have the one mixer too

good luck on that one might be ok for small mixes but yours looks deep and its not something i would do

mixing in hole has its problems whilst filling it you will send the stuff all over the place

pouring a layer is fine but as quoted already your not going to fill up one side as you go along better off mixing outside and pouring in

 

[123hotchef]

all good my mate is going to bring his mixer too

 

[123hotchef]

well thats 6T of ballast and a pallet of dust moved knackered now time for a beer

 

[123hotchef]

That's what it looks like now

 

[123hotchef]

Just working out what timber I am going to need
Will 6x2's be ok for the roof it is a 4M span

 

[gaz1]

flat roof vs apex roof means different calculations

flat roof 7x2s, apex roof 4x2s or 5x2s

it will be a mono pitch roof

it will be a mono pitch roof

It depends on the spacing of the joists too. And wether or not you are trying to comply with any particular rules. Also you will need structural graded timber c16.

[123hotchef]

spacing of the joists will be at 400 centers no particular rules to comply with for a shed so to speak just dont want the roof caving in!
