Aesthetics.

The footprint is the footprint, that's set in stone (or cement if you like).

Thanks Mike, having now read your linked thread I'm going to; a. Take one big step back from where I was going. b. Start digging for the base. :)

Agreed.

Cheers, I'm going to use 30mm insulation board so I'll have about a 20mm air gap. On this subject, this guy on YouTube puts 'foil covered bubble wrap' up against the inside of the shed wall and then covers it with another sheet of thin timber. I guess if it works it works but it's not for me...

V.3 I think this will be strong enough, I only need to look in the mirror if it goes to pot... :)

Lol, but my current shed is 6ft wide, all the framework is 2x2 and there aren't any rafters, apart from those at the ends of course..? Although the pitch is steeper and the roof covering timber looks like shiplap about 9mm thick... Simple this game is :roll:

OK so the plan looks like; EPDM 12mm OSB 2x2 (C16) Rafters 2 inch insulation (also for walls and floor) 400mm centres Approx. 6 inch overhang. I think I will put in Ties/ceiling joists because they will clear even my lofty nut. I really appreciate everyone's help, cheers. Build pictures will...

OK, V.2 using 2x2" timber at 400mm centres.

See I'm thinking what will fit together and your thinking will it work? That's why I'm the one asking the questions lol Cheers.

Yeah I'm on it now lol

Thanks, was looking at 9mm OSB3 and Felt.

Garden shape and 40m pine tree is the short answer. Yes ideally I'd do the square, cheers fella.

⁹ 600 then, less rafters, less expense. Thanks very much. =D>

Hi, I'm building myself a small workshop and I'm looking at the roof construction, I've attached my initial plan and I'd like to ask some questions if possible? 1. Is the pitch suitable for the span - I'm trying to get more headroom as I'm 6'4". I know I have to keep the structure under 2.5m 2...
