Brilliant.   not sure I could do it just from a plan in my head though!  


It's where all the best plans are made! :shock:  :D  :D

I've got a 8' x 6' shed and greenhouse knocking around in the old noggin.

Jury's out though on pent or apex roof???? But the other voices are saying build it. :shock:

Looks excellent - are you going to treat it with anything to preserve it?

Very good, and recycled too.

BUT one essential which i cannot see (many years experience in the building industry) is bracing struts. These are essential with a wood framed building to stop it going out of square.

 the corner supports were measured along each side and nailed into place ... the base was layed as level as possible joined together and then stripped pallets placed on the base up on end  and levellled if they were twisted i just banged them down by lifting each pallet up in the air and bouncing it on the relavant corner ,,, then nailing offcuts across the pallet spars ,what you dont see are the side to side supports that we included .they were in the middle pallet across to its relavant partner opposite .. being as im ex sea orientated it wouldnt do for me to build something without some sort of " list " in it .and having measured it finally from corner to corner diagnally when it was all planked and it being an inch out... was enough to satisfy my my staggering walk  :wink:

Flippin' Brilliant Munty, you and Aggy make such a great team.... Andy and I built my log cabin workshop but that was in ready-made bits and with a plan to work from and that was hard enough so I hold my hat off to you both... Well done and hurry up and get Aggy's built otherwise you'll be squabbling over it  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

That is brill.  I'm dead jealous.  Is the roof going to be made of ply sheeting stuff with felt on top or what  :D

It looks really posh. Something like that would cost thousands  :D
