Has anyone built a shed?
 
Ok despite having a lot on at the mo im contemplating building a shed for the bike. Now theres 2 things here,

1. ive got a very very small back yard (about the size to fit 3 bikes in max, its on a slope and is uneven)

2. ive never built a shed before.


So any advice?

Employ someone who has built a shed before.

As in put a base down then bought a shed and put it together? Or bought a pile of timber and knocked something up of your own design?

best to start with a level base, lay either a concrete base or use old paving slabs depending on the weight oh the shed, i personally would used a concrete base

Me too. laying a concrete base is pretty easy, probably more so than levelling a wide area of slabs

I has big metal shed with three bikes in it.


Don't buy metal shed. They collect condensation :-(

yep defiantly, i've started scratch building at shed down the side of my house but i keep getting sidetracked by something else, simply fenced off the base area with some old 4x2 i had laying about, then dropped in some concrete and levelled it off. I've treated and run 4x2 battens across the concrete as im putting a floor in but you can just build up off the concrete
