Anyone had experience making a wooden shed from raw materials? Is it
cheaper than buying one?

My calculations showed that a home built one would be similar in cost, but
would probably be made of more solid materials.

This may sway me to build one from scratch.

However, the speed of
erection of the manufactured one blows away a home made one. To get some
DIY
in, I did prepare the base, assemble it, insulate it with Kingspan,
plasterboard and paint it inside and out. They look much better painted
than
stained, too. So it looks like a beach hut, but rather that than looking
like a few fence panels.

Plasterboard and paint inside really does keep the spiders away, too.

I like the idea of platerboarding the inside.

Thanks,

Martin
