Default Building your own shed/workshop

I used 3x2 framing on the last one I did, with 19mm shiplap on the
outside, and 12mm ply lining - that was massively over engineered and
very strong. I used 4x2 for the ridge beam and the floor bearers (but I
had lots of pad bricks on a slab).

Nice


Yes, that's brilliant!

As for a shed never being big enough: I built one of 3x2.4m (it fits
against the existing brick shed of the same size), so doubled my space. Get
it sorted out and tidy - my cousin turns up with her old kitchen units and
fills the place! I couldn't refuse and they're better than mine, but then a
couple of friends turn up and are staying intermittently for several weeks,
so I can't move the units.

I need another shed...
