Managed to get the roof and wall panels on over the weekend (only had about a day after other commitments) I’m wondering about cladding just 3 sides, do people just leave the Tyvek or can anyone recommend a (cheap) non-combustible cladding?

They’re made from polycarbonate, which won’t shatter.

I could wrap the existing facia edge in lead for less money. Might look nice? Looks like approx £150? How to join it...more learning. It's an idea anyway.

Just priced up UPVC facias - £400! Think I could get it down a little bit elsewhere but I wasn’t anticipating paying anything like that. I would simply fold over the rubber like @Fitzroy did, looks great, but I’ve always planned on having a gutter on this (I plan to chuck sheet materials...

I can’t help but think, even if you get it apart by whatever means the taper surface is likely ruined anyway, so machining it out if you can’t get another seems the best option.

Yes, I can’t remember what it is exactly, it’s very little but the photos make it look non existent. About 100mm over 3m

Managed to get the roof on today, despite the twisted timber - lots of interesting clamping strategies…

Good to know (I suppose…!). I’ve so far managed to work with it, the worst pieces I’ll deal with next weekend, with plenty of screws. There are four pieces of 3.6 which I need to scarf into two 5.? so hopefully I can lose the worst of it. I’ve decided it isn’t bad enough to warrant a...

Thinking about going for a darker colour, might be able to get away with cheaper cladding if it doesn’t have to be pretty. Wife isn’t sure

Hardly necessary to use it but I’m really liking this thing Father Christmas brought for me

Good call, I’ll do that. Although that tarp is full of holes, eBay seller refunded it though so can’t complain and don’t feel bad about stapling it. Have a better one I can put over once the boards are on the roof.

Managed to get the walls up, then it started raining. It’s stopped now so might start the roof later

Hmmm, 1/4 the width they say

I’d much rather be working with the timber my 1950s council house roof and floors were constructed with

It's for this Shed build, many many questions...

It might come to that. I try to stay on good terms with them but I don’t place large enough orders regularly enough for them to remember who I am when I call. I’m beginning to think the only solution is to walk in and place the order at the desk and leave them a crate of beer in exchange for...

Treated C24, 125 x 95 x 3600 @ £11/length. Out of 15 lengths delivered, 8 are badly twisted. 4 of the 8 are so bad I’m not sure I can use them. Genuinely curious if this is normal, or if I’m missing a trick about how to work with this stuff. I feel sorry for the merchant in some ways as they...

I got this set from Toolstation, it’s nice having a range of different flames...

Found some random no brand (Chinese origin) membrane I bought for something else years ago and forgot about, is there any reason not to use this? It seems to do the job, left the tap on it for a few minutes and the water didn’t get through.

Framed the front wall today, 6yr old was helping I can just about raise this on my own
