Cheers guys, thanks for the advice. So just to be clear, is the general consensus that a shed roof should be fixed down all around and into the rafters? I'm guessing they will pretend they did it like that to allow for the roof to expand/contract etc.

The problem with that is it has a torch on roof so the roof needed to be properly fixed down before they did the torch on. I can screw upwards myself through the rafter into the roof batons (not ideal but would help) but I can't screw in at the eaves as there is nothing decent to fix into.

Hi all. Quick question and probably an easy one for you guys to answer. I've got a new shed in my back garden and I've only recently noticed that the roof is not fixed down to the rafters at all as far as I can see. I can push the roof up a bit in the middle above all three rafters so it is...

Ahh crap, ok I understand now. I was going to ask you exactly what you ment by a 45% concrete bead but the heavy rain coming I felt I needed to act fast and do something that I have the capabilities of doing as the sight of water penetrating the inside of the shed is very alarming. I really...

When you look under on the outside you can see the edges of the tongue & groove floor and the bottom of part of the 3x2 batton. So yeah, quite a bit is vulnerable to splash back. It wasn't just one area of damp inside it was quite a few in similar places. I've used sticks like sh!t...

Here's a pic of outside with arrow pointing to where I'm thinking of filling/sealing so any rain bouncinguo in future won't find it's way in up through the wood.

Hi guys, had a bit of a hold up while I was getting the garden sorted. A few things have changed in the meantime. The shed is now 18' x 8' and it is built and in place. The first night it rained, water seeped up inside the shed between the tongue & groove and 3x2 timber in a few places. Now I...

Thanks for the reply and the picture. I've been away so only just got chance to reply. If I'm using something like 50mm Cellotex for the walls, would I need to add polythene over the top or have you used that because you're using a different type of insulation? And would the advice be the same...

Thanks for the advice so far guys. Yes It will still be under 2.5m in height after allowing for the decking being raised 4". I'm sure the decking will be strong enough but I take the point and will look into strengthening it up to be safe. Has anyone else got any advice/answers to my...

Hi all. I'm buying a 10' x 8' T+G wooden shed for the back garden and once built, the shed will sit on top of decking. I am planning on using this as a games room with arcade machines in. Because of this I need to insulate it really well so I have a few questions to ask if that's ok. 1 What...
