Looking at it, I wouls still try and get some kind of corner strip on there even an 'L' shape to protect the corners I'm not saying this is the problem but I seen alot of sheds wet because of this.

Hi to me that look like different types of treated timber mixed together ie spruce tanalised is a lot lighter in colour than tanalised douglas fir and larch. Im also not quite sure what you mean by clear treatment. Most timber yards / fencing suppliers will stock pressure treated 'green'...

Hi Ive done this myself Firstly i marked out the area and dug a hole in each corner abiut 45cm deep and put half a concrete block in the bottom. I then put in a 4 x 4 tanalised post and making sure all were level and square i held them in place with some postmix. at the highest end i put in a...

Although you say there is extra 1 x 1 under floor joists have you checked for splash back from the concrete? Also are ther vertical corner beads & are they siliconed in ? What did you use to seal the nail heads?

Ask for your money back. If he does'nt pay up, phone him in a few weeks pretending to be a potential customer and send him on a wild goose chase. 20-30 mile trip should do it. Only cost to you ,99p sim from tesco Good luck

osb is not good on floors. it looks like weetabix and behaves the same when it get excessivly wet. Spend the extra and get WBP plywood, or some tanalised boards

As a professional shed builder I would recommend a few pointers to look for when choosing a new garden shed. Read the timber size specification, bigger is always better ( dont be duped by words like 'heavy duty & thick' ) a well known national shed firm used to advertise their cheap end sheds...

As a self employed tradesman myself . I always ask for a deposit up front. Its not that I cant afford the materials but more a case of covering some cost if the customer decides that they dont want to pay ( because it happens believe it or not !) If you are worried then ask for some references...

if I were you i would make my base slightly smaller than the shed so any water can run off. Also bear in mind that these slot together shed move quite a bit (expansion and contraction) so if ur going to batten the inside you will want to make groves for the screws or else when the timber settles...

hi Unless your going to cover the osb with something water proof. I wouldnt recommend it for a floor. it looks like weetabix and behaves like weetabix when wet.

there are plenty of companies that will lay a base and build a new timber workshop. your first problem is the excisting asbestos garage I've heard some ludicrous prices for removal , but your quote isnt that bad. It might also depend where you live .in my local recycling centre we can dump it...

try these guys www.atkinsonsfencing.co.uk local to leeds. I had some dealings with them and found them very good indeed

Hi Rob thanks for the message with regards to the floor ....on the width of 3.6 m i used a middle joists to add a bit of strength and remove some of the springyness. the only dpc was where the timber was incontact with the concrete piers as it was far enough the ground to allow for good...

He doesnt live where you are ! Read what was written before flaming

Hi Rob THis was a job for my nextdoor neighbour total material cost was about 1800. the reason i use the ply wood it that it makes the frames stronger and adds rigidity and also helps keep the shape when moving them about. the ply is 6mm far eastern I also use the ply because if lining with...

If you are gonna use c/bd panels then posts need to have the panel width as a clear space between them . Posts of 100 x 100 If you are putting up c/bd fencing from components .ie post, rails. gravel boards, f/e boards & capping etc then the british standard allows for posts at 3.0 meter...
