HI everyone, brand new member, enjoy reading your posts.
I want to build new shed from scratch on rural residential 2.5 acre block that will also have a our new house on it, that is a bit better than basic in that it would have at least one roller door bay but the other bays would serve as extra rumpus/office/games room/workshop/hobbie space...Questions arise rewall sheeting and therefore framing. SOme have advised that I get shed through council as basic 3 or 4 bay shed kit such as an american barn and add windows and sliding doors later.
A) would I be better to get approval for something like a 4 bay farm rural shed where one bay is enclosed roller door bay and build stud framing later myself to enclose and thus install doors and windows where I want them?, OR,
B) get a basic american barn built then CAN I SIMPLY clad the face wall/front wall with the vertical weather board look sheets screwing it only in to the provided tophat girts, i.e screw sheets straight over colour bond through girts? would these girts hold it? and
C) is it worth cutting windows and doors in later and mucking around to put timber or metal stud framing around them?
HAve lined a basic brick skin garage once in the past by building treated radiata stud framing and gyorocking so a bit more comfortable DIYER with timber to date. LOOK FORWARD to hearing what other have done??? CHeers.
