I built a 5m x 3m deck last summer and put probably twice as many support posts in as that, but then I do tend to be a bit OTT sometimes. What I have now though is a solid as a rock deck with no spring or bounce at any point. :))

I am as sick as fook! I set out to do my roof felting a week ago when we had a day of decent weather. First job was to put the underlay felt down. It all went down well, I smoothed it all down as I secured it, with about a million clout nails and the end result was nice and flat underlay. I...

So a membrane does require an air gap hence the battens in the last posters mail. Cladding - battens - membrane (the air gap being between the battens and the cladding)

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...
