Re: Shed Build
Good info in here, my wife and I are at the house hunting stage but nothing has popped up yet and if we can't get one with a garage then it will be a decent shed.

Good point Lance, if I orientate it correctly and have the slope going towards the boundary then I should be ok. I have created a plan for the roof joists and placed the 18mm ply floor on top of 45 x 95 joists at 400 centres.

Re: Shed Build
dont go too mad with the timber your not putting a car in there. 600 spacing is fine with dwangs. using 400 without dwangs can result in things moving, better with dwangs.
use treated rough sawn. use dpm on bottom of walls where it connects to the floor. |

Re: Shed Build
Cheers Lance
Floor redrawn with 600 CL timbers and dwangs. Got the studwork up too. Just need to work out door and window size and locations. Gable wall with structural opening for the door. I will add some dwangs in to support the worktop etc. Roof rafters will have gussets and strengthening diagonals.

Re: Shed Build
if you lay the flooring along the 2.4 you can use 2 dwangs. the dwangs need to be staggered or you wont be able to nail the ends or use lap joints and nail from above.
which ever way you lay the flooring you need to make sure that all ends sit on a joist. if your going to line the inside with PB or chip then you need to remember to have stud to fix to in the corners so go one size up for that purpose. lets say you use 50x75 for the main frame, you would either need to nail 2 bits together in the corners along the side frames or use 100x75 in the corners (ends of frame). or put the '75' face on, on all stud work. again use dwangs if you can. building a shed is the exact same as building internal stud walls in a house.

Re: Shed Build
If you are thinking of storing your motorbike in the shed be careful, as already discussed on this forum your insurance will insist on a brick or concrete structure.

Re: Shed Build
I have decided to opt for a lean to shed build. Construction costs will be roughly 12% cheaper and probably easier for my basic DIY skill level. This is what I have drawn, it's 1800 wide instead of 2500 wide and 3600 long.
The plan shows a L shape worktop for the moment but this could change as this effectively limits the space to single sided working on the bike at any one time. However the outline shape of the bike is exaggerated because its calculated at its widest part being the tips of the wing mirrors. I wish to put a few sockets into the shed and a light switch. Any ideas as how i could connect this up to run off power from the house?
