Thanks for that :D I missunderstood! As my beareres are small @ 34mm, I guess I go for the 112.5mm (27518). This will allow mw to fold it up the sides of the bearers and staple it. Steve

. Yes,I did thanks about not digging out, but I guess you then have a 4" step into the shen, unless you build up the soil in front of the shed. Can anyone comment on the toolstation dpm? Thanks steve

For dpc I guess I can use ;- http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Structural/Damp+Proofing/Damp+Proof+Membrane+3m+x+4m+250mu+1000+gauge/d210/sd2787/p21675 21675 3m x 4m 250mu 1000 gauge Or I guess the 54683 300mu 122 guage is better? Thanks agian, Steve

Thanks Guys. I have asked the builder to quote for both, so I will see what the quotes come back like, obviously concrete will be more expensive, but might be worth spending a bit more on. The guy said that one reason for the concrete being more expensive is the amount of work involved; they...

My shed should be delivered Thurs this week, still haven't got a base but I want to put preservative on it before I goes together anyway. I was going to go for a concrete base (shed is 8 x 10), but this is going to cost a fair bit, I had someone come around on Saturday and suggested using a...

Well, I went into Wickes last might and had a look at Spay and Protect Timbercare, it says on the bottle 1 Litre should d 6m sq,so 5 litre bottle will do 30 m square..That is a lot more than Cuprinol etc, has anyone tried the Wickes Spay and Protect Timbercare? Thnaks Steve

Yeah, I know! I might do the top part of the fence with the same preserver that I use, but put it on with a brush, that should stop most of it & try to do it when it's not too windy. I just find it a bit hard to Beleive that the wickes on does 30 -60 sq metres, and the others do 19 sq m...

Hi, I made a start on my fence yesterday (Sunday). I used Wickes Shed and Fence Timbercare (£1 per litre), great stuff, thick and gloopy, thing is I now ache; I have a neck and back problem, so I am limited to what I can do. I have one of those Cuprinol sprayer things and am wondering what to...

Thanks again big-all. It will be full of rubbush, but I won't be lining or insulating it. But might as well treat it. Steve

Thanks again big-all This seems a strange thing to ask, but do I treat the shed inside and out? I guess it makes sence to treat inside as it will soak into the wood? Got my first official quote back for the base etc, twice as much as the rought quote :evil: So I guess I will have to get...

Thanks Deluks, i'll use shed n fence then :D I noticed that big-all had writtten ( on 7th March) 7 years is iff you do nothing if its errected clear off the ground and no wood touching anything other than felt or dpm [this includes logs or earth] Does this mean that I should put...

Hi TJB, My one is on order from a local Fence \ Shed provider, I went for a 'Shire', 'Lewis', 10 x 8 £473 Not Presure treated, will go for Cuprinol shed n fence ( i was also looking at Cupronol Ultimate Garden wood Protector), advise on this would be appreasiated. Mine is T&G (throughout) as...

Thanks, good tip about putting conduit in and pull through in! Just in case anyone else is looking of Shed & Fence, the cheapest i have found it is at Wilkinson (14.97), onthe web shows out of stock, but they have it in store in town wheer I work (Harlow, Essex), most other places seem to be...

Thanks all :D Lots of good points here! I suppose the other thing to think about is, Do I want power in the shed for Lighting and to power Lawn Mowers \ Power Tools etc, I guess it would be best to ask in the Electrics part of the forum regarding that? Steve

Thanks! I did ask the company that I am buying the shed from about using Bearers or something to lift it of the concerete base, but they said that i don't need to! Actually I just contacted the Manufacturers of the shed and the base has bearers on it, so that is good! I did also think...

Thanks Deluks. Shed is going onto a solid concerete base, I was told that I can put the shed directly onto the base, n o need for bearers etc, is that correct? I do like some of Wickes own stuff, so might give there shed and fence stuff a try and there own fenceprotector for the fence...

Hi, Well I have ordered my new shed, decided to go for 8' x 10.The shed come pretreated, but before it is put up I intend to treat it (so that I can do the floor & roof before it goes up). The question is, what do I use, the company that I am buying the shed from say Cupranol, but as that is...

Thanks big-all, I don't think that there are carpet grippers in that room, I think its felt backed carped held in place with the spray adhesive that they use. Steve

Hi, My new wardrobe should be arriving soom and its quite big, its got 6 doors w=271cm, H=225cm & D=63cm, talking to the salesman the base is in 2 bits, so each base will do 3 doors, the question is, do I need to fix it to the wall? If I do, my thoughts on doing this are, get some battening...

Thanks agian big-qll. Wow you went in to it in a big way! So, even if I go for a solid concerete base, I can't / shouldn't put the shed directly on that? I need it to be on a base? I guess you agree that the tiger one is better that the Billy Oh? Steve
