Thread: Ghost's Shed Build

So 1/2 of the roof was on - Monday...



Tuesday - zipola

Today... half a wall and some roof! Lol

These guys couldn't work in an iron lung...

If you can get them to throw up 1 sheet on the internal wall closest to the back wall, you can start putting the dexion in.

Just a question
How come there is no mesh under the skylights, Pretty ssure in Tassie its part of the building code in tasssie (has something to do with fire codes so when on the roof of a burning building you cant fall through the skylights, you can see them if the building is full of smoke)
looking good though
cheers

Could be a local code down your way? - not heard of that one myself.

I think mesh may only be required for non-domestic buildings blaze?? My shed at home (in WA) certainly doesn't have mesh under the skylights, but I know of another (non-residential area) shed locally that does.

My shed, which is in kit form in my back yard to be started soon, has no skylights yet there are 4 rolls of mesh.

On the material spec sheet it says 4 rolls of "safety mesh". I vaguely remember asking at time of purchase and was told it is mandatory.

A quick search on the net did not come up with anything definite, but I did find suggestions that it is for fall safety whilst fitting roof.

I will ask when the shed is going up.

No work done on the shed Wednesday or Thursday... Why? Current excuse is that he got called onto another job... Probably trying to keep another irate customer happy...

He is there today though which is great news.. I will post some pics up over the weekend - it's already dark by the time I get home at night.

The other customer must be screaming louder than you and perhaps only 5 mins from his home.
