New shed/workshop built. - Danny Wideboy - 23-12-2014
Built a new workshop for the new house.
9" x 14". Was originally a 6" x 9" but was nowhere near big enough so moved the front out by 8" to give me some more room.
Did have a similar set-up at my last place but was not as solid as this incarnation and not as big.
Some (pretty bad) pics anyway.

Almost all of the wood used has been either reclaimed by myself or bought from a wood recycling place near to me and the cost of extending has been £120, the original 6" X 9" shed was free so all in a total cost of £120 for a shed/workshop this size is a fair saving over a new' un.

Fantastic build, fair decent size that
RE: New shed/workshop built. - 7057sam - 23-12-2014
Looks fantastic mate
Wish I had the time and space to build on instead of just admitted defeat and brought a small metal one.
RE: New shed/workshop built. - Danny Wideboy - 23-12-2014
Cheers fellas.
Been a nightmare without a decent sized shed to work in and keep my stuff in.
Got 9x6 brick built shed that was already there so it was bonus to store it all in but it's floor to ceiling with stuff and I could not get to anything I needed when I needed it. Even bought another SDS drill the other day cos I knew where mine was and it was half a days work to get it out!
Next stage is to insulate it, then get some worktops and shelves built.
RE: New shed/workshop built. - Dum-Dum - 23-12-2014
Thats an impressive build. I have the same issue with mine, 11' x 11' and its pretty much floor to ceiling with car parts so there is no room to work in it.
RE: New shed/workshop built. - WiNgNuTz - 23-12-2014
9" x 14"?! That's not very big at all!
Nice build though mate, more space is always a bonus!

Jealous.
RE: New shed/workshop built. - bigcheez2k3 - 23-12-2014
Nice!
I keep meaning to put up a thread about the one we built this summer.

Saw the first few pics and thought what an epic lash up this is but it actually looks epic finished! Nice one

Fail. Well spotted.
Essentially, it is an epic lash up, it's just all the same colour so I get away with it.

Every man needs a shed to escape from her indoors...

Started on workbench and insulating today. I did take a photo of the insulating, but it is neither interesting or well focused.

Ya fucker he proved them wrong!

RE: New shed/workshop built. - THE_Liam - 27-12-2014
Looking for a decent shed myself, but keep dithering between buying a pre-fab and just buying wood and building it from scratch, sure I could build a better one for the same money from scratch.
RE: New shed/workshop built. - Eeyore - 27-12-2014
Looks good!

build one liam, get more out of it, plus you can build it how you want it, my mates has an extension on the side, for his tools, as the big part will be used for his chickens.
