Mate i hate being one of the "you cant do it that way" brigade just use what you have to hand as life is too short..

its a proper mish mash mate, the lower level is engeneering bricks then solids the top course will be thermilities. They were all free thats why, if I was buying them solids all the way! they will be ok wont they?

no strength in the tops mate and your puttin a 4 meter roof on it

i seriously wouldnt be using thermalites on a build and more so for the top bricks

edit

have you decided on what roof your going to put on this if a sloped roof you can use therms inbetween the beams but not advisable on apex roofs

apex roofs suffer push outs thats why you need the ceiling woods being used

 

[123hotchef]

the roof is going to be a mono pitch roof well vertially flat it will have a 4 degree pitch, pitch will be from the right to the left of the wall so rafter weight will be mainly on the other 2 wall frames

Really are they that bad! what are they good for then? apart from getting a nice edge on plastering trowles

just making a list of the timber I need.
Is it good practice to use osb on the frame on the outside then membrane then lathes/battons to fix the ship lap to

Don’t need batons on the outside.

Don’t need batons on the outside.

do I not need a air gap betwwen the shiplap and the breather membrane?

 

[Burdekin]

This is was the first stage of my workshop extension I did. Timber frame, OSB, breathable membrane and ship lap. Roof hasn’t much of a slope either.

Are you just lapping on square timber, if so there will be a gap naturally. You can add the batons if you like, no harm but shouldn’t be required.

looks good.

I was going to use shiplap all round but now I may use shiplap only on the visible side towards the house and use the metal boxprofile sheets on the other 3 sides also as I have 38 sheets of it now

another question OSB or Ply for the interior and exterior? walls and roof

another question OSB or Ply for the interior and exterior? walls and roof

OSB3 preferably.

 

[123hotchef]

OSB3 preferably.

for the price difference might as well go 18mm i know it will be heavier especially on the roof

 

[123hotchef]

Raised beds are done.

Now I am debating weather or not to lay 1 course of bricks on the slab or just fix the frame to the slab directly. Thoughts please

 

[addjunkie]

One coarse of bricks will keep base of your walls dry, lay a dpm over the bricks too and fix through
