Cheers big-all that's really helpful.

Anyone know easiest way of calculating how much tongue and groove i would need ?? struggling on this bit :oops: 12ft wide x12ft long and 6ft high before roof trusses ..Is it possible to get pressure treated T&G in 12ft lengths ? Thanks :mrgreen:

Hi big-all where's the best place to get the treated tongue and groove from at the lengths you suggest ?

Yeah i agree i don't really want to be replacing it say 5yr down the line just trying to work out how much treated tongue and groove i would need for all the walls ,thicker the better really :roll:

Cheers big-all thought it looked a bit too good at that price ! Looks like i will stick to my original plan just need to get a bit more saved up :D Just thought as said earlier that it would have been easier with it coming ready to be assembled and what with weather as it is, don't wanna...

still waiting to add a bit more dosh for when i start to build my shed..I have seen this shed on fleabay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GARDEN-SHED-12X10-APEX-SHED-PRESSURE-TREATED-TANALISED-DOUBLE-DOORS-SHIPLAP-/290743250760?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Garden_Structures_Fencing_CV&hash=item43b1a5ef48...

Yes sorry should have said it has a neon and is 45a ...just looked on screwfix but not many good reviews as the cheap ones don't seem to last so prefer a decent make .

Hi the pull cord switch for my shower needs replacing as the pull cord has broken. Tried to fix the cord by taking it apart,well like i have read and found out myself the switch don't go back too easily :) Now my old one L in L out N in and N out with to earth's ..I am assuming this...

I know it's gonna cost me a bit but if i want summat to last a few good years then it will be worth it at the end :) I bet you are glad with yours now and would prefer a self build to one of the shelf so to speak lol.. will also be using it for a workshop as well..To be honest i could build...

Thanks again this info is real useful to me ..I have a better understanding now ..Prefer to do my own like you did as you can customize it to how you want. :wink: ps Was thinking of using 18mm ply for the sheeting of the roof like you did and felt it after .

Cheers for that big-all ..will wait for weather to get better (here's hoping lol) before i have ago..But at least i can plan it all before i start .

I might just drop the height to 6ft instead of 7ft ..as the trusses will add some height like you said ..was thinking of doing the trusses like this in a pic i found on the net http://www.open.ac.uk/wikis/SNPL/images/c/ca/Fdgdfgd.jpg are these trusses just using gussets to hold them together...

yes i have also seen it before i think ..you done a good job there ..hard to tell though with roof as it's not a full pic of roof inside .Like i said it's my first a tempt at a shed ..was gonna buy one but most look flimsy so would rather have a go myself and try to make it last. :P

Looks really good ..do you think i am over doing it using 4x4 and 4x2? also any advice regarding trusses that i mentioned ??

Hi everyone, I am thinking of building my own shed down the bottom of my garden just away from my fence ...The shed will be 12 x12 foot and 7 feet high .. Was thinking of making wooden base once i have sorted my foundation out ... I thought of using 3 4x4 treated skids ...and build the...

Thanks guys, Much appreciated..

Thanks stoday, I thought it should be fine but wanted to make sure as i am using the exsisting ciruit and not changing anything apart from connecting the hob and cooker to the same outlet via two 6mm twin and earth cables . Would you say the dual outlet plate is a better option than...

Thanks for the quick response .. yes i mean the cooker switch . Is it ok for me to swap the outlet plate that i have for the daul outlet plate instead to accomadate the hob and oven ,only i am not a sparky ( what i am really saying is there any laws stating i cannot change the plate ) ...

Hi , I am installing a built in oven and seperate hob...The hob rating is 4.2kw max and the oven is 7.2kw max . which brings me to 11.4kw .. I have a cooker control unit with red switch and a control unit at back of my old cooker .. Now at my consumer unit the cooker i have...
