The current material list includes 210m of 3x2, 285m of cladding and
285m of T&G floor / roof. Eeek. Over £1500 at list prices for all the
materials so far, so next its shopping round for a job lot price.


Hi,

Might be worth a visit to a shed centre to get some ideas and see what
size timber is used in normal sheds. 3x1.25 might be alright for the
uprights, with 3x2 in the corners.

cheers,
Pete.


Generally it's like matchwood, unfortunately, which is one of the
reasons to make your own. I did take a look at some even quite
decent products and they are still not that great unfortunately.
