big-all thanks for all your help here an otehr posts. Keep reading about/seeing mentions about some waterproofing sheets or membranes going up on inside of timber wall before ply goes on so T&G or shiplap outside - then 3"x2" timber studs - insulation between studs - membrane/plastic...

Probably another silly question? Wood frame joists using 3" x 2", noggined out and well spaced at 16" was the plan. The breeze block way would be cheap but surely over time they would start to sink into the ground so.... Heavily compacted ground, then breeze block, happy to overkill on...

Thanks for the tip on the timber suppliers, seem well priced. Another silly question.... I planned on putting the summer house on paving slabs, again in another cost cutting measure planned on leaving out some slabs in the centre and pea gravelling to allow to breathe. 1) slabs okay 2)...

kev5830 just what I am after, so you have featheredge board outside, stud wall, plastic sheeting (any fancy name for that) and then thin T&G inside? Like the stove, where did you get that (how much if I may ask) and what is the black pipe called, know what I want just don't know the terms...

Probably being thick here - apologies. The osb/sterling boards for the roofing? - osb/sterling boards seem quite a bit cheaper so could they also be the flooring. Assuming I get some laminate/lino/tiling on top. - doesn't osb/sterling boards warp, expand? - if I could use osb/sterling...

I was hoping on ply roof? Any other input would be good. Also does anyone have any further thoughts on the walls? I was planning T&G outside, 3"x2" stud walls, rock wool insulation, inner ply. Should there be any membrane/waterproofing sheet or does this stop breathing of shed? Thanks.

Thanks big-all, good to hear I am vaguely on track, will probably go the shiplap route 5" of 11 and a bit cms. Re floor I was just planning a 3"x2" frame with some heavy wood treatment. Being a bear of little brain was not sure what you mean by:- floor bearers 3x2" pressure treated 24"...

I'd be very interested in being kept updated, I'm planning something similar... a summer house measuring roughly 4.8m x 2.4m with an apex roof. Planned to use:- - 3"x2" to build timber frame - clad externally with tongue and groove - internal floor 18mm ply - 3"x 2" trusses - 6 mm ply...

I'm building a summer house and would like to know what anyone would recommend to clad the inside of the summer house. What is the cheapest and most effective sheet material, was looking at 3mm ply but is there a cheaper option that would withstand any damp/warping issues. Looking to use...

Thanks all for the tips, plan to be a nail skewing expert soon and may well beef up the flooring up to 25mm

Thanks all for the links and tips, will crack on.

Based in Harrogate, North Yorks. Can anyone please recommend the cheapest timber supplier for tongue and groove cladding, plywood sheets and standard 3"x2". Anyone got some local knowledge. Thanks

Okay here goes. Mid life crisis project about to be started so would welcome some help! I want to build a summer house, approx 2.4m x 4.8m. Planned on building stud walls using 3”x2” timber. That is not the complicated part right?! Roof is going to be very slightly pitched (about 15...
