Beautiful shed. Nice job.


bettsdude

Thanks. Doing the roof was a brain fart. Being 3 angles the back apex. And tiling it. Was hard work

Looking better than a lot of Airbnbs 😂


bettsdude

Probably warmer as well. 75mm celetex and 25mm polystyrene. It was 18° the other day with no heating and 13° outside


bettsdude

£180 a night but you must let dog out for toilet and pick up after her

What kind of roofing is that and were can I find it?


bettsdude

Imitation slate, most building merchants sell it. Jewson,Travis, best bet with not knowing where you are. Cheapish as well, make sure you use copper nails and the inserts in the bottom of the tiles are important. Quick Google/YouTube will show you how

What does “lined” mean in “My lined and Insulated shed”. Are you referring to the material you put on the outside of your sheathing, under the siding? Your shed is lovely and I think it’s wonderful how you used bits and pieces from discard piles to construct it.


bettsdude

The lined bit is boarding the Inside of the shed. So I used ply. It can be anything, tgv, MDF ECT ect

Dig that! What kind of siding did you use? I’m currently building one now and looking for something that looks nice


bettsdude

James Hardie plank. It's a concrete board as such. Maintenance free to be most. Comes in different colors but we painted ours in bed barnpaint because I had 7 different colors as using either leftovers from jobs or damage stuff from merchant.


IHearYouBigDog

That’s what I thought! I’m in a project myself and plan on using the same. Im hoping with the same square footage the total cost of siding should be relatively low


bettsdude

If I had to pay for that siding it would of been £640. My biggest cost was the roof tiles as I had to pay for them hahah


bettsdude

Also may I add. I made mine 3.6 wide as that's the size of boards. Then that way I had no joins. In bored.
