Deere-est Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Cheers guys, :) I will build a low wall around this yard and join it to my next board which will be a dutch barn possibly with a lean too. Using these blocks again I would like to build a farmhouse and garden to join the layout too. I forget what I ordered, I'll find out but this with plenty of left over pieces cost in the region of 20.00 inc glue and the board. The roof won't cost too much more. They are great fun to work with and I have limited tooling, did it all with a craft knife, a plane, a 90deg corner guide and a pencil Oh and a hand drill for fixing it to the board.

Deere-est Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 It really is TM, either following plans or manipulating it to suit yourself like I have done. This is an easy thing to start off with too, three straight walls and job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Just a thought at the moment, a shed where I worked was built on them but yet at mates place the old dairy shed which would have been muckiy for most of it's life didn't, wil do a couple and see how it looks.

Deere-est Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 At FB's request here is my Plastruct shed at it's current stage. Require's boarding, one more roof ridge, painting the roof and the backside of the roof steels and the back wall fitting into place. Didn't do any of this with the aid of a jig or template (WISH I HAD!!!) but it hasn't turned out toooooooo bad!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 The next one will be built on it's own board, from the board up. Will use template's etc and be much more precise about cutting, angles etc. Learn't alot doing this one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks Lads, sentiments greatly recieved!! You may change your mind if I took some close up's!! Smurf said in the early stages of my ched to make some kind of jig or template to work the span's too. I can only stress this is more imortant than you may think if you havn't built these types of buildings before. It's too easy to pick up the lastic make a few cut's, glue a few joint's and before you know it you have made half the shed, so make a jig and get it right!! **note to self, Listen to Smurf**!!! Dr Do Little. . . .. ... No comment son!!! As for the storage of caravan's MJB, look in latest purchase'e. . .. .. may not have space!! Oh and TM, that's the problem/godsend of this site. You see someone having a go at something and it get's yourself going a treat, flippin boys. . . . so competitive!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Jig is a good idea...and a good made one at that! ;D that's the first thing I'll do when i decide to start another, :D : my bigger shed is kinda made on a jig but the last span was a bugger for me to set up right !....the tractor shed i just cut the verticals and glued the horizontals with no need for a jig deere-est. gluing the verticals to a board first is a good idea, you know its as good as square then! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
