New Shed Build..help needed

[SteveF]

I am in planning stage of a new shed
this is going to be a "lean to" next to house wall
I am ok with timber dimensions...i always over design
i am unsure how to seal the roof \ walls on the house side
i want to make sure i dont end up with a damp area between house and shed

any ideas of what to do ?

shed will be 7m long x 2m wide....not that big but much needed space
2.5m tall at house side sloping to 2m on opposing wall

I can't help with the weatherproofing at the wall but the slope of the roof is fairly steep. I think you could reduce it to at least 200mm giving you extra headroom.

You don't say if the house wall is plastered or brick, in either event you will need either a lead flashing, cut into the brick joint or wall plaster, allow about 15, or 20mm deep and dress down over the tiles/slates.
Or you can use Alcan, or flash band just off the roll, prime the area above finished tiles or slate and stick on, works very well where cutting into the wall is not possible, hard stone etc.
If you Read through This link, all will be revealed!
