    G'day

    I did a lot of shopping around and based my decision on price to a degree but also on quality. Ended up getting mine from Ranbuild in Pakenham. Great quality shed, good roller doors (B&D). They had a deal where I got one door motor included. Can't remember the exact price but it was in the $7K's somewhere. 7x9, 2.4 high, 2 doors and 1 access door, air cell insulation to roof. Slab was about $3K and install was about $1600, organized through Ranbuild.

    I can't comment on the eBay ones but I know many are fixed sizes and not able to be customized (imported in many cases).

    I'd buy from Ranbuild again if I was after another big shed.

    Looks like an attached carport/shed. Going to be a nice space.

    Judging by the dark brick I would guess a Melbournite. I used the same brick in WA and they were hard to get, the brick people all called them the melbourne brick.

    It's my garage, attached to the house. New build. The thread is called My Shed because it started with a shed build on another property, that never quite got finished before moving. This is now my shed. And yep, Melbourne. Pakenham, outer east.

    I'm a bit worried that I can't be trusted with plaster walls though. Might have to line some of this with MDF

    That is going to be a great shed danny.

    Almost a year exactly since you finished the last one.

    Yes, you will need plenty of lights in the big new shed.
    Do you have any windows or other door to give yo natural light?

    No windows. Double and single tilt a door at the front and single roller door at the back. All other walls are either boundary or adjoining the house. Also I'm not a fan of windows, the less I have the less I have to clean. I'd rather have the door open in winter and put a jumper on. In summer all doors open to let the breeze though. Will be putting 2 ceiling fans in that I removed from my last house.

    That sounds great.
    My garage has a double at the front and single at the back. It is good to have the air moving through.

    Yours will be even better with the larger openings.

    I would prefer ply wood walls but I don't see a problem with plaster. You will have benches and cabinets covering most of the walls eventually.
    You can easily put ply or timber over a section if you need to.

    I like the idea of white walls to keep the shed bright.

    The sooner I get this crap sorted out, thrown out, sold, moved into the house or put in the garden shed the better!
