hi-ya all
have just found this really great site lots of usefull information which i know i'll need,
now the story begins, i intend to build a new shed / workshop this year and could really use some advice before i start as you will find out construction isn't my thing spent 26 years as a turner/fitter (engineering) and am now a maintenance engineer , anyway enough of that.
the shed will be approx 20ft x 10ft and the 20 ft will be facing you it will be used mainly for keeping my motorbikes in both together weigh in the region of 500kg , i would like to build the shed on piers approx 300 mm sq basically 1 on each corner and then another 1 in the middle of those,
then top it off with some 150 x 50 joists. what i really need to know now is do you thing there is enough support and will the joists be enough for the weight ???
any ideas, thoughts
