Hi, not sure what you mean John but hopefully these pics may explain better. the cabin I have is constructed like the one in the image attached. I want to create an interior similar to the image attached. Plasterboard or ply upper half of the wall to be plastered or wallpapered and a...

log cabin wall

The inner or outer wall? Outer is horizontal 28mm thick T&G planks interlocked onto one another like a lot of 'log cabins' Inner will be plaster board and cladding onto battens. I'd assume they would need to be horizontal for the cladding to attach to. Cheers

I have done a lot of searching on this forum but have not found a definitive answer so I hope someone can put me right. I have built a timber summerhouse/log cabin using 28mm thick T&G wall planks. it is double glazed. The Roof and floor I am happy with and both are insulated and finished...

Bit of a weird one but I want to wallpaper the inside of my 'log cabin'. I am going to turn it into a traditional looking pub. It's one of those summer houses made from 28mm T&G. Obviously I can't wallpaper directly onto the T&G so was going to put Plasterboard onto the wall first...

Cheers Alan, I've since thought sod it and been out to buy a few rolls of underlay so I can do the job properly. I'll keep the spare cap sheet for my other shed.

I am felting my summerhouse. I am aware of the best practise of at least one Layer of underlay nailed to the deck before a cap sheet is glued to the top with cold adhesive. However. I have been supplied with way too much felt. It didn't come with any underlay but I have worked out I...

I agree, no fall is ridiculous but I wasn't aware that was the case till I'd constructed it. Shoddy company!!! I was going to nail the first layer down (for movement) and then bond the second layer to the first using cold adhesive. Do you think it's worth putting a small batten (under...

Ah, I see so the Problem is the potential for water getting pushed back up the slope. I'll make sure I put two layers down well sealed and see how that fares over the next year. If no good ill Board and EPDM it next spring, I just don't have the finances this year, besides I have 4 rolls of...

It's a summer house. The felt came with it, it's your standard capping felt. The roof had no slope so I added firrings to create one. Why wouldn't felt work?

I am felting my summerhouse roof tomorrow. It's is 5m long x 3m wide and slopes down the long side. I have raised it 100mm higher at one end, so it is a very gradual 1 in 50 slope My question is Which orientation should I lay the felt? In 3 or 4 pieces following the slope down...

HI, It depends how creative you are with space. Some people have made great pub sheds in a 8x6 shed. Google 'readers sheds' then look for the pub sheds tab for inspiration.

Hi does anybody have detail drawings for bench garden seating? I want to build some basic seating into an L shape in the corner of my decking, which I can eventually top with custom made cushions. Also would anybody have plans for a basic home bar counter with built in shelves. I could...

Thanks for your informative reply Alan. It now winds me up that after spending 2 grand on a summerhouse with quick gardens, they only supply it with roof felt and don't mention what you have suggested. Also I have had to add firrings to give it the 1in50 fall otherwise there would have been...

Why would you use underlay underneath shed felt? just a curiosity as a few people have suggested it, and not said why. Also if applied properly, why won't one layer of felt do the job on a large shed roof? Some people are saying there should be 2 or 3 layers. That would make the folds at...

No but I think I will as they seem to be a bit cheaper than elsewhere.
