Thread: New Shed Build

Hi,

Some here may remember a post I started 2019-20 in regard to our men shed having to relocate. Now, in 2023 all of a sudden there is active moment to relocate us with land earmarked, paperwork in place waiting for the final tick of approval.

We were asked if we had a set of plans, simple answer is yes. Anyone that has built a shed will be aware there is a HOST of considerations to be made, The shed itself is easy, then you move to the internal layout and this is just the start of a much bigger conversation.

We feel we are close to the final layout. Mind you there is still things being considered where doors and windows are located, machinery layout, in all areas, plumbing, electrical, finishings, and the list goes on.

As this is a new build we are focusing on machinery layout in a functional way (bound to move things around later) as this leads to the best location of the dust extraction system and electrical requirements. As for electrical system we are basing this on our current requirements, our future machinery purchases then add more.

The one thing we have planned is to separate the community machine training area (large machinery) from the community work training area (assemble area) with a full height wall to help minimise dust movement between areas. The far back right outside the kitchen will be a large BBQ area and situated opposite the office with a 4 meter space will be two covered 12m containers for extra stowage and our garden section.

I'm aware we have a way to go and this build will not start till 2024, however we are striving to have working plans developed and in place before December.

Have a look at the plans, feedback is always helpful. Of course if I have done this correct you will have a plan attached.
