Lady Ferguson Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 You've done a brilliant job, Sam - this is the first time I've seen the walling in-place and it's look very good. Nice accurate work, hun. The concrete look excellent too - might give that a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I didn't think it was paper, Sean If I can make one suggestion Sam, the beams to support the side cladding would have been better glued to the outside of the vertical I beams. I say this because if you look down the sides of your shed now, the I beams will protrude ever so slightly. When you fix your side cladding, it may cause a rippled affect where the cladding goes around the I beam... It isn't much I know but it's just a little thought for you for next time. Judging by this one I reckon there will be plenty more where this came from! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 i thought it was a embossed paper, may well be wrong mind, either way it looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmersam Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 i thought it was a embossed paper, may well be wrong mind, either way it looks good It is a very thin flexible plastic, very similar thickness to cardboard and has lines embossed on it. Works very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wood beams are more there for decoration on this shed (just to make the shed look more realistic). I thought I would just stick the cladding onto the I beams, but do you think that this will be enough to hold the cladding on?

Farmersam Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Will attack the roof or maybe a roller door next. Any tips with these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Looking super, hun - particularly like the door and that concrete spray is very effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I can't give any tips... but I can tell you this: ... that shed is a lovely piece of work.. well done so far ans thanks for sharing.. I look forward to seeing you work some more of your 'magic' on this sterling shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Nicely done, makes a massive change when the cladding is added doesn't it Sam? I always think it makes the building look even bigger. Good work matey, you've made a nice job of it. Could you keep the pictures down to 6 per post though please mate, just a request we ask of to help people enjoy the photos who have a slower internet connection and so on.

Yes am really pleased with how it looks. Sorry about the pictures, only just realised there was a rule about that! A great idea though because I certainly remember the days of waiting half a day for a few pictures to download!!! Would you like me to delete a few of the images?

MJB1 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 looks great sam , really liking the build , will the roof be removeable ? i think jez is the only person here to build a fully 'rolled' roller door , but not sure how practical it was to use , i myself managed a corragated up & over door on a britains building , but the runners are up in the roof , maybe a bit unpractical if the roof is removeable , look forward to seeing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have asked Jez for some advice and will decide what I do for the door from there. Thanks for your advice also, I'll keep it in mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmersam Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hi everyone. As I expected, school has been taking over my whole life Luckily though, I managed to find some time over the holidays to get the removeable roof made. First I made a wooden frame to make my "A Shaped" roof beams. Worked great as all the beams came out the same width, height & angle. I have used Plastruct BFS-10 beams once again. The roof is 6cm high. I have made the wooden frame so that I can also use it to cut my pieces to the same size and on the right angle. Next I glued the 2 pieces together and left her to set.
