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

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.

OOOWE ARRR

 

I be going to build me a 42m X 9m hipped gable ended shed with canterlever cloisters so I can sit and reflect upon the devinety of the 300ZX.

 

Plyboard and rippletex. Job sorted.

Pete! :slap: Shame on you for poking fun at Readers sheds!

 

It is valuable and well worthy web site, run by the best in the shed building world. Sure they will all be very upset with you when I tell them about your laughing face at our next shed meet.

 

Please keep your shedist attitudes to yourself in the future!

Thats a quarter of a million quid luxury detached house round my way!

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

Ever thought of getting TWO sheds?

 

 

Que......Monty Python fans! :p

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

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.

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....

'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

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? ;)
