I haven't started it just yet, I just loosely assembled it to try and work out where I'll cut it and adjust it to suit my plans. But it's really well made and even non glued it would hold together pretty well. I'll get some progress made this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne D Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Small start made on the new shed, I've painted up the steel columns and beams red. I also did a few of the pen gates as well to see how they would look. I find these little tester bottles great and cheap for random jobs like this when you don't need much paint. B&Q seem to always have plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm very impressed with them I must say, fit is excellent, everything has been laser cut. Really is an excellent company, even right down to the packaging the shed came in.

Wayne D Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks mate, I intend to paint the lower walls a grey colour to replicate a RC wall finish. Im not sure what to do cladding wise, either corrugated card like I've done before, or maybe try some new plastic corrugated sheets. Only down side to using the card, is they warp in the winter, so maybe the plastic might be a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you glue two sheets of corrie together with lots of EVO Stik sandwiched in between that'll stop it warping. I put the green for the outside and white corrie on the inside. Also keep it we'll stretched between joists when gluing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 You can get a4 sheets of corrugated card with a stiff flat back card on it , seen it in red and black, I have some for future use, got it in a hobby shop. Being flat it gives a nice surface to glue onto giving max area between it and the bars of the building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne D Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks guys, I actually have some spare corrugated card, so I might actually try your idea first smallclass, it would mean I can match the green roofing of the other sheds.

Luke190 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Great stuff. Keep up the good work, and photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne D Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 A little bit more done tonight, two up rights fitted and deviding gates added. I painted the lower walls at the weekend, I know the picture is quite poor, but in day light the colour has turned out really well with a matt grey finish. Next step will be a few more horizontal supports and then start the green cladding. I will hopefully have another update come the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED7726 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Really impressive work, it's surprising how a bit of paint can bring something to life, will hopefully get started on my sheds soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Nice way of personalizing what are already very specific shed kits with the altered roof. How did you find the dulux paint for adhering to the laser cut sides of the wood? Anything I've tried so far is just absorbed by the wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne D Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hi mate, I had a look at it as I was working on the shed earlier, and it seems to have taken to it pretty well. I went for a Matt shade, so maybe it's not showing up any absorbing as much as a brighter colour might. They have been painted a few weeks now, so hopefully they should be ok. Cladding rails added tonight. I've ordered some green corrugated card from HLT, along with drinking troughs. Hopefully they should be here by the weekend. I've been thinking over it and I think I'm going to add timber laths to the two gables, I think it should look well against the green sheeting.
