Hi All,
Thank you all for your valuable contributions. I have some stuff to put away. I had only one option, to get a garden shed. I was about to get one from b&q as they are running a 20% discount on everything. Then I realised I have to make a floor myself. Considering that and the amount of effort required to assemble the unit, I gave a re-thought. It will be better if I build one, looking neat and more spacious consuming less area.
There is the outer wall for the garden on both two sides. Since the roof will be making the area water proof, I may not need to build a floor. (The floor is already paved.
From my understanding I need to build a frame and nail cladding to it (cladding outside) . This will be my first wood work project.
Please help me plan this.
1. what would be the size and type of the timber & best place to buy.
2. how to make strong joints on the frame
3. How to make a door and attach it to the shed
4. Making a window.
5. Roof - do i need plywood or osb on top and felt sheet on top.
Sorry I have asked everything, I have some general idea. As being a novice I need some help from the experienced hands.
This will be a leaning shed, leaning towards the front. The highest point will be 6' and I am not planning for a slope of more than 3" as it will reduce the hight at the entrance and the depth of the roof is 150 - 160 cm max .Please find the picture of the garden with markings to make things clear.
