Building a green roof shed from scratch

[morequestionsthananswers]

Hi all,

grateful for any advice.

Planning to build a shed from scratch:

Concrete base (or railway sleepers on hard base?)

800mm (depth) x 2200mm (width) x 2000mm (height)
prob using 2x2 / 4x2 for frame?
recycling old featherboard fence for cladding

will house a bicycle (up to 1200mm height) and then a shelf for brewing equipment and other tools)

Plan to have swing doors for bicycle section and then 'flaps' to open upwards for the homebrew storage area.

Plan to have a green roof - sloping 9-10deg - I have read will have a load of 60-150kg/m2 depending on substrate/soil mix.

Wondering if this will be structurally sound enough to hold the weight at the top, with all other functionality and a relatively small footprint? Is it too top heavy?

Appreciate advice/tips.

Cheers

Admire your enthusiasm but you won't be able to support 200-300Kg on a few bits of 2x2 screwed to some sleepers.

You need to be thinking along the lines of corner and centre posts sunk into concrete in the ground (like fence posts) with decent diagonal bracing.
