i would love to post a picture many have tried to tell me but i am useless lol as an aside 2.7 is a bum size iff you are using sheet material for flooring as a sheet is 2440mm keeping the spacings as 2ft centers fits in with sheet material in your plan you will need an additional timber to join the boards on off course iff it planking material then 2.7 is a length you can get
Oh im on my phone and theirs a upload a file link next to post reply, is it different on pc ? The 2.7m is due to that being the length of my roof sheets and im doing the roof like a lean-to so i dont have to buy a ridge cover or mitre the sheets. Im just gonna get 5 1.2x2.4 sheets and cut them to fit the spacing if that makes sense
Just found this http://www.shedking.net/shed-foundation-piers.html 4 piers on concrete footings on the corners then just build up blocks to support the rest? Does this sound ok ?
Im almost certain im just going lay the blocks without concrete now i just need to figure out how im gonna do it in terms of floor layout, how many piers ill need and there positioning
6 piers, 1 in each corner and the other 2 in the middle of the long run, sister 2 off 7"x2" on each long run and hang 7"x2" at 16" centres between them, noggins at 4' and 8' to pick up the ply join.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171815217910&alt=web Why you ******* about with concrete footings large floor timbers brick piers lay on these then treated 2x2 done loads like this including couple of log cabins flooring nailed straight to the 2x2 really good system
I can only pickup the timber in 3m lengths and i dont trust getting it delivered as it will probaly be warped, so should i butt 2 x2m 2x7's together over the center piers and then screw a 3m piece in the middle with 2 x 0.5m pieces at the end? Or is there a better way? Cheers Edit: looking at the prices its gonna be £200 for the frame and another £100 in osb, gonna have to go with more piers and smaller timber me thinks...
I would have all the joins on the pier but but a cleat on the inside as well, all your offcuts will make noggings.
Ok thanks i guess the amount of piers doesnt matter as concrete blocks are cheap enough anyway Another question is i need to build the shed right up against the boundary with my neighbor (see pic on first page) So i guess i need to have the blocks right up against my neighbors concrete slab, but how can i cover up the gap and make it look decent so he doesnt moan
