Default Re: Garden sheds.

timber pre-fabs were rediculas prices when I looked, hence going for a masonry building much bigger than what I could have gotten for the same size in timber.

smells nice aswell


Have you ever been to Milton keynes...?

Theres tonnes of the stuff used there.

I know of 4 schools I have built that have it as the exterior cladding, 2 or 3 estates I've worked on that use it as panels on the side elevations etc..

Serious mileage of the stuff.


And how on earth can you like the smell?!

Dry, dusty and smells like cats p*ss..

Eh?

Part of the fun of all sheds is delving in the corner for something that's fallen behind something else and never being sure if your hand will come back out of the gloom with a new friend on it.
