Sounds like a load of nonsense to me.

Yes just consider your bracing, perhaps consider some diagonal bracing at roof level too and as above some plywood or OSB sheathing on the ends. What's the exposure like, is it exposed particularly or in between say a fence and the house wall?

Your image doesn't work, you can upload an image directly into the thread.

For what? The vertical pipe?

If the opening has been sound with no sign of cracking etc for several years its reasonable to assume whatever beam has been used was suitable.

Of course it can, look up capillary action. Wind and differential air pressures can play their part too. Any timber cladding is a 'rain screen' not 'rain proof'.

Clearly not. Look up any detail where timber cladding is used on a wall, it will show a vented cavity behind it. :rolleyes:

That looks like it's an opening already that's been boarded up. Peel off a bit of the board near the top and see what you find.

T&G isn't waterproof.

The OP may have been sent customer returns, hence the random box and the slight damage.

On the back of a crap picture and invalid guess off the internet, no wonder the house buying system is screwed in England.

What Dyson model is it?

I would add that there was a lot of strengthening work done to the standard units before they were built in, absolutely no sag etc and when you tap any of it it it's got that solid sound rather than a standard Billy which frankly is a bit crap!

I extended my Billy's with the standard extensions, by total luck (as seen in the pics) the wall space available lent itself to the Billy dimensions perfectly.

If you really want a good shed then build it yourself, it won't cost much more but will be superior if done well. And actually it takes probably no more skill than is involved in throwing up a pre-built one. Though probably needs a couple of tools

Well I know I for one will sleep soundly tonight. I'm expecting to see some serious woodworking accomplishments on the forum in the future ....

Look up Ikea hacks on google etc, it's a great way for the DIYer to achieve professional results if you've an eye for detail. This cost me £800 but I did have access to a reasonable set of cheap tools and a garage for all the timber work, took me a while too because I'm quite slow. Hate to...

I have a cheapy Titan one, it works fine for my purposes.

I know but you asked how it would normally be done, normally a worktop of the right size would be used.

Normally the tiles overhang the worktop.
