Hi all,
I will upload a picture for this one later but when i moved in I had a 6x8 shed in the corner of the garden, I have since done the whgole garden over with patio, nice chips, etc, and i put a nice big extension on the side of my hut, so my hut is now 10 ft wider,
I started by knocking a wall and half the roof off my hut and building the 3 sides on it and then building up and adding the other half of the roof from there. I used chipboard for the roof and the floor. Also decent felt on the roof, all seemed fine.
It all went wrong when I painted the whole inside white, this sounds mad but the original was already white, so all I was really doing was matching new to old as best I could, but the big length of new roof now sags a big and isnt looking too good.
Anyone got any advice on what I did wrong, that was about 15 months ago, what I am now thinking is take the roof off and do it again but better with decent straps going from one side to the other, use the overlap felt you can get, ( I saw tommy walsh using it for his workshop project) and actually bring the roof out 150cm so there is a canopy to the front.
What upset me is Im an avid DIY'er and usually like to get things right.
Any advice anyone, sorry for the long speel. Ill add photos in a bit.
