Default Building a shed from scratch

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.


There were a number I looked at that were no better than four fence
pannels nailed together at the corners. Even the "top end" ready built
ones often went for 1 1/2" framing, with studs at 1 or even 1.5m
centres. No internal cladding and most shiplap on offer was only 12mm or
so. As for the roofs - one layer of thin felt (with mineral finish)
nailed round the edges.

Building your own won't be cheaper - but the end result will be so much
better.
