Building Sheds

Henry-flash · 16-04-2010, 06:56 PM

Just wondering if anyone has ever built a shed from scratch...

No, way too much work!
I don't think it would work out any cheaper really, so many good offers on throughout the year. If your after a certain size not readily available there is a really reasonable place in Crewe that does custom built sheds.

I agree! Pop down to B&Q, much easier!

No, this is really a project I need to do myself, no one else will get it quite how I want. I say shed, it's not exactly one, just something I have come up with for use of an empty space, sort of an extension for my existing building.

Hmmm, will have to think on it a bit longer.

And Kelly, you are correct, if the fitting out of the first shed is anything to go by I am aiming for a 2020 completion on this project

Hi Pete,

Yes I have a shed under construction 16ft x 16ft with a 4ft x 16ft veranda canopy on the front of it.

It is not quite finished yet but it has all the sides and the tiles on the roof but the doors arent made yet, waiting for work to ease off again and the shed building can progress form there then.

I feel I might be getting bombarded with a few questions now!!!...
