Thanks for that I was leaving 10mm gap around the perimeter of the room. and about 0.5-1mm between the planks, what gaps are you talking about? Just a question though. If it was fitted using the tongue and groove using secret nailing you wouldn't put any gaps in ( unless the design of the T&G...

I ended up membraning the walls and taping every joint on the ceiling. Thanks all

Thinking it will be easier to remove the damaged tongues and just butt up the edges. what sort of gap should I use? I was thinking business card type gap. Thanks

Sorry but whats double nailing? Thanks

So I had a go at cleaning a bit of the tongue and the grooves. What a bloody nightmare. Took ages and even then it still didnt properly but up. so I trimmed off the tongue, sanded the edges and just butted it up. It was much neeter. Obviously I couldnt secret nail unless I went through the...

Im hoping I should have enough as I have about 10-11 m2 and the summerhouse is 7.5m2

Big all, Thanks for that, making false tongues sound a huge faff, I like the idea of groove to grove if needs be. If push come to shove I will butt them up and surface nail.

yes there is a gap front and back for venting

Quick question again I have insulated the walls with the following ( outside in_ shiplap batten (25mm gap) Tyvek 11mm osb 4" x 2" Pir ( with 25mm gap) vapour membrane claddinng with the ceiling its mauch the same Epdm 18mm osb 6"x 2" Pir (with 25mm gap) should I also put the membrane on the...

Hi All I have managed to buy some second hand oak tongue and groove flooring for my summerhouse. It has previously been glued and taken apart so there is a bit of damage on some of the tongues and grooves. As said it it in the summerhouse (3m x2.5m) so it doesnt have to be perfect. It will be...

That is a very good answer- in fact the answer I was looking for..... but .... if the door had a frame that also included vertical's and enough horizontal braces that prevented it from being forced out of true and was then screwed from behind ( oooh err missus) and nail gunned from the front ...

well thats what I was asking! why dont people do it? Also with the frame the door shouldnt sag! Although that makes sense.... That makes no sense! Since every shed/ summer house / home office is always built with the wall cladding horizontal. Are you saying that the walls of all theses are less...

??? I am talking about if I use them horizontally

Ah ok I have actually built a rectangle frame including the diagonals to strengthen the door, so maybe it could work

Hi all, I am just about to fit a shed door to my shed/summerhouse. The shed is made from T&G shiplap timber and I was going to use the same wood for the door. Every photo/design always shows the door with the T&G vertical as opposed to horizontal ( which is the format of the shed cladding) Is...

Thanks for all the replies. It put away at the moment as I am desperately trying to finish the summerhouse. But hopefully over the weekend I will sort the jet out and fiddle with the govenor rod Thanks all

No wonder it nearly fell out lol Thanks for spotting that!!!!

I originally ran it with no filter or cover (just to try) and it ran for 2 seconds then cut out. When i put the filter and the cover on it runs ( just a bit too fast) funnily enough it starts ( when warm) with no bulb pushes ( which it didnt do before) But when the collector box gets full and...

SO the latest update! Having fitted a new fuel pipe with the correct filter I started it up. Well it runs- boy does it run. If it had a rev limiter it would be bouncing off it!! I have tried the speed adjuster screw but it makes no difference. I tried the mixture screw 11 1/4 out and then...

Catlad, Ahh I see now. During the summer it will just be used as a summerhouse, but during the winter it will probably be used as a daily home office as it will be so well insulated it will be warmer that the house!!! There will be a 25mm gap (as per spec) between the osb and the pir...
