Hello,
I'm in the early stages of building my new workshop/office/garage in the back garden, I'm just finishing the concrete base which measures 6m deep and 7m wide. I intend to build it in a way so it can be flat packet easily to transport in the future as plans to build something more permanent will be drawn up, maybe in a couple of years. The frame will be made from 3x2” with shiplap cladding to the outside and 6mm Ply board inside with insulation in-between.
I had intended to have a pitched roof but for simplicity I would prefer to have a flat sloping roof, I'm just not 100% sure I could make it strong enough over such a large span?? I don’t mind buying some 7m long 3x7" joists or similar if they will do the job, especially in winter with 6” snow on the top!!
I have some rubbish hand drawn diagrams of roughly what I would like to achieve and can scan them in when I am at home! Sorry if I am being vague but it’s all in my head and hard to write down!
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
Ryan
