Doesn't seem to matter what forum I join, wander into the off topic bit and it's always just about a bunch of middle aged gammons arguing about Brexit :D .

I bought these. But now I'm looking at them - are these OK for putting into pressure treated wood?

Ello. Shed base I have made is 8 foot by 10 foot. My OSB for floor is cut into 5 pieces and is a good fit on my joists, which I've built. I've not screwed the OSB down yet. Will be doing a one foot tall dwarf stud wall on top of it that I've mentioned in other threads, which I'll clad with Tyvex...

Thanks for replies. I won't be sure until Saturday when I do this, but I think I might be OK getting the screw straight down into the wood. As I say, I shall be placing the shed on 2x4 turned sideways so the 95mm face is up and the metal base plates are quite wide with a flattened flange...

I have built wooden floor and dwarf 200mm high stud wall (stud wall to raise roof a bit, described in a different thread) that I am going to sit a cheap metal shed on top of. I am going to wrap the dwarf stud wall in breathable membrane, stapled on, and screw feather board cladding over it, and...

Cheers for that (y). When you say floor, do you mean ground or OSB? As I say, I shall put some flashing pieces over the ends of the OSB, keep out moisture water ingress from cladding.

Thanks all very much for replies. I'm going with the clad dwarf wall idea, have ordered the timber so I'm committed. Doubtless spent too much money but TBH this has been in the running for months and I'm sick of thinking about it, just want to get it done. That said, here is the new drawing for...

That's very helpful, thx :). Enjoy your single malt.

Thanks for reply. What I'm concerned about is, if I make the shed base using 3x2 or whatever, and stick the OSB 18mm on it, so I have my floor built, will a chunkier board like a 2x9 (that's a 225mm, right?) sit flush to the board when screwed down? I can imagine if I took, say, a 2x2 and it...

Dimwit question: how would I screw a piece of timber like that into the base? Sort of diagonally down from the outside into the base? I've got an impact driver. What about cupping or whatever it's called. Can I truly get a 2x225mm to sit flush on a "flat" surface? As I say, I'm inexperienced.

Yes it is the £300 flimsy shed type with the sliding door . The height difference between roof apex and where it meets the side walls (eaves?) is 230mm. It would be nice to get the side walls to my 5'8" so I don't have to worry about banging my head if I go near the sides. This means raising it...

Yes - I'd come to this conclusion myself a couple hours ago :D - why not make it with short little studs and then, as you say, can go as high as I like, plus I get to put the floor OSB on top of the outer rim joists, instead of trying to fit them inside (I was looking forward to gaps in the...

How about putting the second outer rim joist square just sitting on top, but then just having some very deep flashing coming down from the top of the upper rim joist square so it covers the join between the two? That way, any gaps between the two caused by not sitting flush would be covered up...

Hello folks. New member, hope to be returning for the conversations as I'm building a small workshop shed thing, to do some mid life crisis hobby carpentry in :) . Have bought a cheap metal shed. 3000mm x 2500mm. I shall be putting together the metal square that forms the outer floor dimensions...
