pete shrimp Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Hi I already have a 6x4 shed in the back garden but it is rammed full and I want another, bigger one (to sleep in lol), eg 8x6 Has anyone made their own as I'm a bit miffed at paying over at least £170-200 for just a 7x5? I see there are "Shed plans" on ebay everywhere for a couple of quid where they email you drawings - has anyone done this? Another option would be to go for a second 6x4 shed alongside I guess but I would like a 8x6 in one. Cheers Bored Pete Quote
sideshowbob Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Down load some plans pete, when you buy the timber, go to a timber yard, not B&Q, it'll be cheaper & better quality. Go for a plywood floor, not the usual chipboard shite. If it's going onto a concrete base, put a dpc under any timbers that come into contact with it. Quote

SRRAE Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 We got a large plastic one from Costco. Its rather good one of the few sheds where I can stand up in it with out hitting my head on the roof. YOu can fit a load of stuff in there. It got half my car parts in it, but not any more. :D Quote
Guest x-biker Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Ever thought of getting TWO sheds? Que......Monty Python fans! :p Quote
Guest x-biker Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Host (Eric Idle): Last week the Royal Festival Hall saw the first performance of a new symphony by one of the world's leading modern composers, Arthur 'Two sheds' Jackson. Mr Jackson. Jackson (Terry Jones): Hello. Host: May I just sidetrack for one moment. This -- what shall I call it -- nickname of yours... Jackson: Ah yes. Host: "Two sheds". How did you come by it? Jackson: Well, I don't use it myself, but some of my friends call me "Two Sheds". Host: And do you in fact have two sheds? Jackson: No, I've only got one. I've had one for some time, but a few years ago I said I was thinking of getting another, and since then some people have called me "Two Sheds". Host: In spite of the fact that you only have one. Jackson: Yes. Host: And are you still intending to purchase this second shed? Jackson (impatient): No! Host: ...To bring you in line with your epithet? Jackson: No. Host: I see, I see. Well to return to your symphony. Jackson: Ah yes. Host: Did you write this symphony in the shed? Jackson (surprised): No! Host: Have you written any of your recent works in this shed of yours? Jackson: No, no, not at all. It's just an ordinary garden shed. Host: I see, I see. And you're thinking of buying this second shed to write in! Jackson: No, no. Look. This shed business -- it doesn't really matter. The sheds aren't important. A few friends call me Two Sheds and that's all there is to it. I wish you'd ask me about the music. Everybody talks about the sheds. They've got it out of proportion -- I'm a composer. I'm going to get rid of the shed. I'm fed up with it! Host: Then you'll be Arthur 'No Sheds' Jackson, eh? Jackson: Look, forget about the sheds. They don't matter. Host (sternly): Mr. Jackson, I think, with respect, we ought to return to the subject of your symphony. Jackson: Huh! Host: I understand that you used to be interested in train-spotting. Jackson: What? Host: I understand that, about thirty years ago, you were interested in train-spotting. Jackson: Well what's that got to do with my bloody music? John Cleese (entering): Are you having any trouble with him? Host: Yes, a little. Good Lord! You're the man who interviewed Sir Edward Ross earlier. Cleese: Exactly. Well we interviewers are more than a match for the likes of you, "Two Sheds". Host: Yes, make yourself scarce, "Two Sheds". This studio isn't big enough for the three of us! [They throw him out.] Jackson: Here, what are you doing? Stop it! [Crash.] Cleese: Get your own Arts programme, you fairy! Host: Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson... Never mind, Timmy. Cleese: Oh Mike, you're such a comfort. :dance: :D Quote
friday Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Since we're on the subject here's a picture of my art she...I mean studio and car sh...er...garage...(still being finished) both thrown together with more luck than judgement by me and my dad. Shed connoisseurs will note the fine attention to detail in the first example, namely the extractor fan and skylight...and the sheer f*cking size of the second. Enjoy. Leigh (very, VERY bored...:D) [/img] [/img] Quote

Craig David Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Sheds..... Ah... the neat arranging of hand tools on racks.... the smell of an old parafin heater ..... a leaky roof ..... a half bottle of gin with cobwebs ...... a sly look at the stash mags when the lights in the house have gone out... MMMmmmmm sheds.... Quote
Guest Rich Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 'Shed of the Year' is on Discovery Home and Leisure RIGHT NOW!!! What a program! I hope you're all watching. I think Friday's 'potting shed' might beat an observatory though Quote
pete shrimp Posted September 2, 2004 Author Posted September 2, 2004 That first shed is a greenhouse Leigh - too many windows :nono: How can anyone nail shelves to the walls and hide away for an evening in there? ;) Quote
