Thread: The shed (already to small)

All sheds are too small but the bigger they are the more junk you collect.

Looking good.

I built an 8x7 timber framed shed myself. I am surprised you don't need a double top plate. The company which supplied my roof trusses reccommended I use one.

The only thing I don't like about timber framed sheds is it is hard to build them high enough to fit a hoist in.

Got a double plate on rear wall and will have on front wall also, bit of an over kill I thought, built my last shed at 12 x 8 metres which was up for about 25 years and didnt even have reo in the concrete.

Windows not included?

No windows or skylights, spiders build webs around them and when spray painting they deposit little black specks over the nice new wet paint.

Well, any forward progress today, or did you have to go to work????????

Had the afternoon on it but not much to show, finished nailing all the bracing straps etc, row of noggings along the back wall and sat a laminated beam on top of the RHS wall. More pics later in the week
