I think that might be a bit out of my league, but I might just put them on the top of my ex kitchen cabinets work bench.

Hmmm, I am the opposite of religious so I don't know if I could handle church furniture in the house. I have a workbench top at the moment... however it's only MDF laminate so I could replace that!...

I have a whole lot of 140x40ish and 200x60ish beams from my house that we took out. They were too good to chuck into the skip so I have kept them.
But I have no idea what to do with them! We need...

The silent treatment has ended. Was good while it lasted though. Why do women have to talk all the time? Honestly, there is nothing wrong with silence! It doesn't have to be ruined by useless...

How much weight would my shed support off the portal frame?

I want to hang a few things off the main main bearers

1. Myself! I have a TRX training system that is a suspension weight training...

That directed at me?

Didn't think this would turn into a Bunnings rant thread! The tool shop manager told me his boss didn't realize the cost of the item before they ordered it, got a shock when they saw the invoice...

I take zero credit for the design of this, it's my father in laws design and who knows where he got it from!

Anyway, its 2400x2400x600 made from 16mm MDF, 42x19 and 70x19 DAR pine for the under...

The silence has been broken! With a list of things that need to get one.

A few of which will need very specialist tools I HAVE to have to effectively get the job done. There is no way I can...

All things I need to have I there obviously. And I suppose a comfy chair.

Spotted a Triton WC2000 at the place we love to hate today and asked how much. Response was $1100!!! Apparently since the new acquisition the price has almost doubled.

If this is the standard RRP...

I must have v1.1 extended as I have nagging too.

Have had manland (7x5m Fairdinkum shed) for about a month now. Made the mistake of moving stuff in before I had the wall lining up and adequate storage and a plan. So it's taken twice the amount of...

Will try and get my hands onto more then. I didn't think about ambient heat or IR heat. I have some Tontine insulation as well so I will double insulate some parts. Walls have 16mm MDF + Aircell so...

$100 is worth it.

I have emailed Metaland with the link to the aluminium one hoping they can help. Doesn't require me to weld which is good!

In regards to your extended table. Have you...

Have been watching him make his fence today. LOTS of work there and a bit more than I need for my basic needs just at the moment.

Yours seem within reach for me. Where did you get your materials...

Have looked at the Incra one, but it costs more than my table!

Was toying with the idea of selling my Makita 2708 table saw and getting a Triton workstation system so I can rip larger pieces of timber. Also the fence on my current saw is a pain to use as it...

Answered my question right there!

Ok good. Because I got impatient and started. The Aircell is 50mm off the outside wall Colorbond. Am not doing all the walls as one doesn't even get direct light and half of another will have a 600...

Got left over Aircell insulation which I want to use on the walls. But I have no idea how to use it so it work. On the roof is on top of the top hats and between the them and the roofing.
The walls...

So I maned up and called two local kitchen places and they have some cover sheets they will sell me. Forgot to ask the price of the first place, the 2nd place have 6 and it will cost me a carton of...

Slab would be above ground and I would extend the plastic beyond the slab and up its sides and then a few cm up the frame.
Thanks for doing the math for me. 5 bags is do-able!

I am assuming one...

Council may not like a slab as it will be over the sewer. HOWEVER! I would prefer a slab for longevity. HOw much in m3 does a bag of concrete make?

Right, so after having a look at what I have and how big it is going to be (1200x2400) I am going to use yellow tongue on treated pine bearers with coppers logs piers off the ground. Good enough for...

Ours is 900 which it will still be. It will be behind my big shed so not really visible. The only outlay should be the $60 for the yellow tongue. Will give it a few coats of paint I have laying...

I wish they were in our area! What a great idea

The Bleeder- Forgot to mention the treated pine I have are old coppers logs. Mostly half but the few round ones I have could be used as footings? Also have a fair few bricks to use as footings....

That is a VERY good idea Jim re: some black plastic under the pavers. Its for the lawn mower + brooms, rakes etc. Probably the kids bikes. Used oil containers etc. If I continued the plastic up the...

Just me or is everyone photo out of focus?

I see you have the AirCell type insulation on the walls. Did it go on and the external walls get screwed over it? I thought there had to be a 40mm gap...

I have some space beside my new shed that needs another small garden shed built on it. I have the sheeting and wood to make it from, just need to decide on a floor for the smallest amount of $. It...

Try some ant sand. They take it back to their nest and it sorts them out for good.

Thanks folks, will space it out accordingly. Only need 2 lengths of ply to get what I want

Would love go but I don't know any and I need it done ASAP

Read this fram start to finish and it had more twist and turns than a good novel. Very please to hear you have a water proof shed now

5x7 mtr shed from fairdinkim Want to line at least one wall of my shed this evening to I can begin to hang things etc. what thickness ply would I need to get? I want to hang bikes but I will create...

Did you make your own draws and cupboards or recycles ones?

Man land needs some storage space. I have 1/2 doz. large Coles type strip shelves. However they seem to gather a LOT of dust. So I am considering making (in a fore mentioned manland) some cupboards...

Great idea! I could have my tank pump down there + a rack for timber/metal with a small roof.

I suggested I could put a large amount of black plastic down there and just wrap all my wifes crap up...

Well the shed is well and truely in now. Now power yet though. Dad the sparky has had other things on!

My next project is some wall lining and shelving. Although I think cupboards might be easier...

Posted this on the Renovate forum, but would like a wide range of ideas.

What do people do with that 900mm of wasted space beside their sheds? Mine is a garden bed with weeds.

Anyone got any...

Wow, 50 hours. I don't have that much time! I think I will just pay them to put the damned thing up. Takes them 1.5 days apparently!

Dad is a sparkie so it shouldn't be an issue.

Great idea! I will look into doing that. Wonder if the shed mob will charge extra for this type of thing into the concrete.

hmmm, interesting little work around you did there Bob!

I think I want things to be moveable to maximise floor space. I wonder if floor GPO's can be put in like we had at uni to plug our laptops...

I am getting the shed insulated (forget what they call it) with that silver bubble wrap stuff.

I haven't actually thought about dust extraction. I have always done my wood work outside and not...

I wish. $3k for the slab not inc. leveling

Considering going the 5x6m option which is about $1500 cheaper and spending the extra on lining, heaps of light, plumbing for the future and work...

Thanks for the feedback so far! I do like the idea of having it all up in one day. I spent about a month of weekends building the kids cubby house and it wore a bit thin on the family.

I already...

Two kids, almost 2 and 3. Plus a full time job. But I can spare a weekend.

Now I have your attention

For those who have bought a prefab shed did you put it up yourself or paid the shed mob to do it??


Shed is 6x6m with a roller door and PA door + owner supplied...
