Take care when building it. Because it feels easy, the build quite often gets rushed. When I put up my summerhouse it was real quick, but the 2mm gap in one corner ****ed up the fixing of the roof and it’s off by 6mm at the top. Doesn’t sound much but it’s a bastard when the wind whistles through it.
Will do. It comes in logs with pre done joints in the corners, and no nailing together, just those joints, so starting off square will be key (which is why I got a joiner to do the base!)
Sheathed in OSB3 and covered in EPDM. Dead easy. It definitely does it’s job it’s been well piddled on this weekend. Really need to get a gutter fitted on the back pronto.
Very nice. Her indoors wants one of those next in front of the shed, I’m happy to oblige. Saves me having to turf out all the pieces of shattered asbestos in the soil. I got spare deckin blocks to build it off too should be fairly straight forward I think.
It's not too difficult tbh. I saw your decking blocks but plumped for 100mm posts set in 600mm of postcrete for the sub base. Piece of piss really with the aid of my lad and his chopsaw. 6"x2" joists and 4.8m decking boards. Had it done in about 4 days. Funny how we flip from imperial to metric during these projects.
Will just set the decking blocks in concrete plinths and build straight off those. An afternoon spent squaring them up turns them into a big jig and makes the build then go together really fast and easy as everything is held in place level and square as I found out with the shed base. I work in engineering and material ordering is the worst. It’s measured in imperial or metric depending on material and shape. So for example aluminium round bar is imperial, plate is imperial, but thinner sheet is metric, and tube is both. It’s weird how certain standards have stuck in old English measurements which are based on the size of an old English kings thumb, as opposed to the metric system in which measurements are defined by the speed of light and therefore forever relevant with a standard that can always be referred to.
S'funny, I suppose, but I still convert from Imperial to metric and vice versa based on what I needed to know as an apprentice and how I needed to know it. Anything over an inch (or 2.54cm) generally gets mentally converted to metric so I can visualize it more easily. Anything less than an inch stays Imperial so that I've got a clue what it looks like. 15 thou I can visualize. I'm guessing that's about 0.4mm. Mass is equally random. I'll use Imperial to estimate anything up to and including people, then metric takes over. A caravan weighs about 1500kg. **** knows what that is, in Stones. I've no idea how much I weigh in kilogrammes either. (Fighting fit 10 stone, 3 pounds in Imperial obvs).
Having been educated as a scientist and the SI system of units, i tended to work in metric (same as SI) but use imperial for day to day stuff like shopping, decorating, gardening etc. I tried never to convert if at all possible.
I'm clueless at this kind thing. Metric, Imperial? Unfortunately for you lot, I make things that hold your aeroplane together when you fly. Don't worry though, you can trust in Kemps Edit: l was looking for that emoji thing that looks pissed, but I'm too pissed to find it.
Yeah, gotta say I’m a bit concerned about getting on a plane that’s been stood standing there idly for six months plus when all of this bollocks is over! Might buy a caravan!
I don’t know why Ernie But I had you as some raging hulk who tears down houses with your eyelashes cause your bored. Not a 10 stone 3 lb Bonsai tree climbing lightweight who has to put heavy stones in his pocket so he doesn’t get blown away by a slight breeze.
