    SIPs Garden Studio (aka 'Shed') Build Sequence

    There is nothing stopping you from putting some cladding on the outside of the SIP metal roofing panels. On the top and bottom its not needed. Ref the complaint about it being a sweat box. Why? Do you build wooden houses full of holes? If you desire holes drill them through the side.

    SIPs Garden Studio (aka 'Shed') Build Sequence

    I'm going to build a garden room and decided against a SIP and went instead for insulated metal roof panels. You can make the entire building using just the same 80mm panel. Walls roof and floor. Cutting it is just a circular saw. Water proof out of the box.

    Stone lintel removal

    I'm a little worried. The lintel will be there for a reason, removing any of it is not a good idea. I'm presuming the brickwork above the opening is still there.

    Cantilevered joists of an I beam question

    "All this to achieve a recess of what.. 2 inches?" 60-100mm is more like 3-4 inches If I mount the frame to the beam whats the R value and how do you insulate it?? I'm pretty sure steel and wood is less insulating than just wood. You know like all the other joists. Opening is 5mtrs

    Cantilevered joists of an I beam question

    blup The design is now such there there is not much cantilevering. What there is is being taken up by the bolts which I may add to higher in the beam web. If need be I can add a strap across the from the joist to the blocks. I also have to factor in a hidden gutter system. Personally I would...

    Cantilevered joists of an I beam question

    I think I'm putting a big target on my back by having the 400mm overhang, and since all I'm looking to do is just recess the sliding door frame I am now looking at at just packing timber out bolted to the I beam as per image.

    Cantilevered joists of an I beam question

    Thanks cdbe The twisting is an issue I'm worried about also so the bracket will be replicated on the other side. There are some dual beams on the long side that are 150mm wide. So attaching to them will mean no way it can be twisted. I know replicating all those brackets is a lot of work but I...

    Cantilevered joists of an I beam question

    Thanks, The doors and walls are not relevant to the question. My query relates to the connection of canterelevered joist to the I beam. Tim
