I hope it works like that in my area too. I’m going to work hard on the design/materials list over winter and then go into womble-mode. Collecting anything that fits the description of the items on my list. Will make Facebook Marketplace a regular haunt, thanks.

The idea of going all the way to a proper wood merchants just to buy 2.4 metres of pressure treated 2x3 for a rotting shed rehab is peak ukworkshop. Love you guys! Will check Wickes prices/availability, thanks.

Yes, It rotted because its on the concrete, sitting in a slight puddle. The pent roof dumps all the rain behind the shed and the concrete has a slight dip in that same area. Plus I didn't clear out the weeds behind it last year, so they did their work and found some rotted corners behind...

It’s a lot more wood than I’d hoped (wanted to just use scrap/what’s available) but that’s the plan now. heading to B&Q tomorrow to pick up some treated 3x2. I’m might have to do some trimming but hopefully i can shape the new sole plate so that my ply floor will partially sit on it for support...

Update I’ve spent the morning clearing space and hacking away at the rotten wood. The whole of the sole plate was rotten at the back. The back panel is now alarmingly wobbly. And there are parts of the floor at the back where the ‘joists’ are gone, so its a bit bouncy. The bottom 5 cm of the...

I think I’ve seen your posts about it. Not quite right for me now, but I’m adding it to my list of products for the new shed.

This was my original idea and I haven’t gone back on it. If you look at my post from a few days ago you’ll see the site I’m working with.. it’s really hemmed in by a tree, the house behind us and the fences either side, so the most practical idea seems to be to take it apart and start again...

i think you’re right. I can’t jack it up but I will have to remove and replace most of the bottom board. Chamfer the edge is a good idea - I haven’t used the router yet (£30 Lidl special - bought this week) but this is a good first project to try it on. The rest of the shed is surprisingly crisp...

Hi guys. I’m at the start of my woodworking journey. Been doing more and more DIY around the house and now planning to get into making furniture. My workspace is a shed. The previous owner built it on the ground.. on a concrete pad. It’s a cheap, shop-bought thing made of the thinnest wood...

Don’t take it to heart. I’m a newbie on here and I’m very aware of how much experience you guys have and how much I can learn.. it’s a natural process of passing info (and equipment) down the generations, but you’re right - it must be done with respect. I will remember this post in future and be...

Do you know anyone with experience building/designing with them in London/South East?

Hello! I’m a complete beginner to all this and have 1 main enquiry: about this table top. also looking for general advice on getting into woodworking (I live in east London/Essex borders) I’m currently re-thinking my storage sheds to make a temporary ‘workshop’ (temporary cos the sheds are...

im very interested in this if it’s still going. I’d need to arrange a courier to get it to London, but it looks worth it..

Im at a similar (a few months behind) point in my workshop/shed/future-potential-residential-use build. It will be a fair bit smaller than yours (6x4) but I’ve always liked the idea of SIPS. I don’t know many people who have heard of them, and that puts me off (there are so many videos on timber...
