I really like this, it looks great! What wood have you used for the legs? Stephen

I can echo the above, I have one at the moment and lt is terrible for condensation and is only used for storage of the gardening tools etc. However, on the plus side it is very sturdy and maintenance free... Stephen

Hi there I saw the article on their face book page a few days ago, apparently it's going to at the Industrial estate where Durham pine used to be, at the junction of the coast road/norham road, not sure what the industrial estate is called... I'm really looking forward to the place opening...

Hi guys, thank you ever so much for the replies and advice, it is much appreciated. It's going to be going onto the garden patio but I was planning on putting down additional bearers perpendicular to the floor joists, such as garden fence posts or flag stones or even bricks just so that the...

Hi and seasons greetings! :ho2 Further to my recent post garden-buildings-direct-t85293.html I have have found 3 local shed companies who's sheds look pretty good quality and are reasonably priced but each supply sheds that are treated differently, one is pressure treated, one dip treated and...

Thank you all kindly for your advice, it is much appreciated. I will keep you posted on what I decide to do :wink: Stephen :ho2

Hi All First off, apologies if this is in the wrong place, I wasn't quite sure where to put it... I'm after a new garden shed, just for storage really and I've come across these people and this shed in particular... http://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/ ... ange/23746 It looks quite...

Thank you :wink:

Is this 'American white oak'? as i'm after something similar for a small project i'm planning... Also, what does 'calibrated boards' mean? (Sorry, I'm a bit of a novice...) Steve

I think this is great, it reminds me of an allotment shed. I love seeing old unwanted wood turned into something nice. I'm in the process of building a garden bench out of old timber we had lying around in our yard at work. Please keep us posted. Stephen

Wow, that is beautiful looking wood, looking forward to seeing how this progresses! Stephen

Thank you kindly for the replies. There are some great ideas and inspiration there, just what I was looking for :D And of course, I will post some pics of both. Stephen.

Hi All My wife and I are expecting our first child soon and I would love to make the little one a nice toy chest that will last them for years. I've had a look around on Google and there are some lovely examples but I cant seem to find any plans... I've also done a search on here and again...

Hi I too want to build an adirondack chair like the one Norm built, however cypress seems extremely difficult to get hold of. Obviously there are other choices, but why is cypress so difficult to get here in the UK? Also, can anyone advise where its possible to get some if I decided to...

Very nice indeed and fantastic work, even better that's its your first oak project. :wink: A question though, What do you mean by 'halved joint'? I would have thought a dado as per the legs would be best, or is that what you mean? Steve

That is very nice indeed :D Stephen

That's more like it and if its fencing the it should definitely be treated from the supplier, I can't imagine it won't be. The other prices are still very expensive... Stephen

I think that's extremely expensive. I pay about £1.00 for 1.8m lengths... Try local fencing/timber suppliers. Stephen

I think we are quite lucky there in Newcastle as there are a handful of independent timber merchants who prices are good. I've never actually been to a builders merchant such as jewsons etc for timber but I've looked online and they don't seem as competitive. Stephen

Well you've scored there then. However, I built some planters recently and I thoroughly enjoyed painting them. Stephen
