This one's at the budgeting stage right now...
Next year, I would like to build my own workshop from scratch - simple timber construction, insulated and very very strong. I need a weird shape to avoid planning issues (the 5m rule from house rule - I need a chopped off 45 degree corner on one bit) so standard offerings are unlikely to be much good. And it will be fun to build something structural from scratch ![]() Any tips on a good source of wood that's solid, stable and inexpensive? (I reckon I would need a few 6x2's for the floor beams, 4x2" or 3x3 for roof and walls and something to clad the outside). I was thinking decking timber for the structural bits and the floors as it's fairly ubiquitous. Is there a better source and how much might I expect to pay per metre for say 4x2" ish (so I know what to shoot for). The whole thing will sit on brick or concrete bearer walls so I can store long things (ladders) underneath and get good airflow. I'll be insulating it and lining the inside walls too. Ta Tim |
