So it's spring and an old man's fancy turns to sheds.
I don't want to make this into a whole summer's project or to construct an elaborate workshop - I simply want somewhere to stash all the stuff that clutters the garage and stops me using that space properly. So it's going to be pretty basic and so long as it doesn't look too bad, fall down instantly or cost me a fortune, it will be fine. The space I have (not to mention the flimsy construction of most of the ones I've poked about at in the diy chains) will require a custom built jobbie and the whole enterprise seems straighforward enough but I thought I'd consult the assembled experts for (a) any tips that may not be too obvious and (b) what would be the best thing for the outside of the thing. I've mulled over shiplap (seems a bit pricey, but I haven't been to the woodyard yet), featheredge over an inner skin of some sort of sheet, ply (though I think that would be pretty ugly) etc etc. It seems the possible options are to make a sturdy frame and use something lightweight to cover it or to make a less robust frame and use something tongued and grooved to give strength (which is what B&Q etc seem to do). Any wisdom on the merits of each of these? (Obviously a sturdy frame with a structural cladding would be strongest but almost pretty pricey. Any comments gratefully received (asuming they get through the enormous amounts of spam that seems to be cluttering this group right now) Thanks chaps |
