Hi all,
This is to document my shed build here in Tassie. I'll describe the build as it goes and put forward my ideas for fit out. Any comments most welcome. Yes, it's only 6m x5m!! I already have a 6x8 double garage with a small storage are attached to the house. The purpose of the shed build is to make space in said garage which just isn't quite big enough for multiple cars and the trappings of a hoarder. So basically it will be a small workshop, man cave and storage area.
The shed has been ordered from a local shed builder with a great reputation. I'm getting air cell insulation on roof and walls, vermaseal under the shed edges, a large roller door, personal access door and a window, 2.7m high walls. It will be all in corrugated and colour is woodland grey. Including slab and installation the cost is 17K. This excludes the cut and fill, retaining wall, trench work, power and water so it ain't gonna be a cheap project. The shed is a about 25m from the house and required a cut and fill on my block with a significant retaining wall...pics below. The cut and fill gave me about 100 m2 but I plan to use the area to also build a reasonable veg garden, a large rainwater tank, storage for a trailer etc.
I'm also running mains water, power, and rainwater from the house in a trench. The trench has been dug at the required 600mm for power. Once the power is laid it will get backfilled to 300mm with 7mm gravel and warning tape on top. Then the plumber will lay the mains water and rainwater lines.
I'm now planning for fit out. I plan to clad the interior in plywood (probably 7mm) using a brick bond with black shadow lines. e.g. something like this Shed provides affordable extension I'll seal the floor (probably just a concrete sealer) and add shelving...thinking unirack Warehouse Pallet Racking, Shelving & Materials Handling | Unirack. I'll probably go for two 15 amp power points and a few other standard doubles. For lighting I think 4 sets of LED battens should be ok, maybe with something over the work bench which will be under the window. So that's it. Any questions or suggestions welcome. I'll update as things progress over coming weeks.
