scrap store called of today unfortunatly,so going tommorrow time permiting now,,

we got a scrap store in yeovil, never thought of going in there , but wife goes in every so often for school stuff

[Tractorman810]

yeah you need to have the card to get in,she has one from work,but she has seen plasti strut in there,and other sheet stuff,so may be worth a visit with the missis mj

Got chatting tonight and I nearly forgot to post my progress report... Couldn't be arsed to wait for the cladding I've ordered from 4D (as they are currently out of stock) so I had the bright (in inverted commas) idea of using the off-cuts from my spud box production to line the sides - still don't know what to do with the roof mind you.  Whole piece of wood (...well 2 bits)  - More slats like the sides  or wait for the cladding to arrive  - Suggestions GREATLY appreciated... as are critics - My first approach as a Barn so I'm looking for guidance

Looks good mark, little bit of grey paint on them and you can pass them as concrete beams/panels ;)

[FB]

yeah thats what i was thinking Nath?

looking good Mark! , your skills are improving....bet you wish you never came across this site!? :D

[Lord Ferguson]

Tell me about it Ben... I'm getting hooked - I only got to make cots and beds for my daughter in the past (and swords for my son).  Much more fun to make something worthwhile.  Concrete Idea sounds good too me - will try some grey paint - Any roof Ideas 

[FB]

do you want it removable??, maybe two sheets that lock in but can be removed easily??

[Lord Ferguson]

Sunds Good Ben - Would you mount them on locating pins (dowel I suppose)

[FB]

probably, just so they dont slip off!! 

[Tractorman810]

put a top centre ridge in,then attach a bit of largish l angle plastistrut top and bottom of the roof pannel,and attach your ridge to one part only in a upturned v shape you will see what i mean when you do it .this allows both bits to come of easliy and the ridge combines with the angle on the back keeps the roofpannels in palce and most importantly straght,as i found it tends to curl a bit when painted with out it 

[Lord Ferguson]

Nar sorry TM810 don't understand that... I've read it over and over and I don't get what you mean.  Any chance of a picture when you get five minutes mate 

[Tractorman810]

yeah will do,try and find a close up if i have one,if not i will get in the loft tommorrow and take one for you

[Lord Ferguson]

Thanks TM810 I would really appreciate it

I think Grey painted walls and a cladded roof will look good on that, not bad for a first attempt. 

[Lord Ferguson]
