Yardmaster Metal Shed UPDATE
« on: October 13, 2007, 20:55 »
When we bought our house there was a Yardmaster shed at the bottom of the garden,the previous owner used to keep motorbikes in it.I decided to make better use of it, adding some worktops with shelves underneath and also make it a bit lighter.
First i removed the central bar that holds the side panels rigid then i added some 2x2 wood uprights fastened these with screws from the outside with rubber caps to stop the water gettijng in,then put 2x2 wood cental bar all the way round with a 1in half joint and fastened this to the uprights. Then i made a 32in high frame and fastened this to the outer frame with cross bars top and 10in from the floor,the top and shelves were added made from 18mm chipboard which had been painted both sides
To add a bit of light i removed every other roof panel and replced it with a clear panel.

Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Had a post a few years ago about my shed when I added some clear panels to the roof and some shelving,I also put some vents in to stop the condensation in the winter.Well the shed has to go after the weather this winter it has been drip drip drip from the roof and the water has got into all the shelving everything has been damp mould has set in on everything.Have two cat beds in there for our cat and next doors cat even they won't use them.So when the weather gets a bit better it will be going to be recycled at the local scrap dealers
