Hi everybody, Welcome back, in this episode I am building the #structure for a garden storage ( #shed ).
In a follow up video I will cover the doors and adjacent deck and pergola.
Let me show you the design. Here you can see the proportions of all the elements. On of the key features of the shed is border around the roof and walls to emphasize this shape. The half slanted roof keeps the visual open space bigger while adding some height to the shed.
In this situation this type of simple 3d model helps a lot to explain how the design works. Normally I add more detailing but sometimes you cannot spend the time.
Alright back to the workshop.
Here we are building the front and back #frame . With the specific roof line. Doing this in the workshop with a good stable miter saw is very convenient.
The studs are 2 by 2” or 44 by 44 mm and are 16” or 400 mm on center.
The size of the door frame is still open and not fixed.
There will be 2 doors folding open and these are made specific to this design so in the process the doors can be adjusted if needed.
At the site we could prepare the frames for water proofing. The frames stand on a sheet of plastic. DPC tape and will be covered on the outside with a ‘open’ membrane. Air can escape this membrane but water cannot penetrate easily.
Then diagonal pressure treated slats are added to the frame. The metal cladding will be placed vertical. And moisture could drip down over the membrane and you don’t want to trap the moisture so therefore you could add the substrate for the cladding diagonal.
The cladding is galvanised steel, lightweight and tough. This is the backside of the shed so not visible. The steel does also add an amount of shear strength to the frame. Not as much as a osb or plywood but adequate for this type of shed.
And also the fire safety is good because it is not combustible.
And then we could stand the first two walls. The sheet of plywood on the frames help to leave them square when handling them.
Then the other two wall are put up.
Then I could place the ridge. This falls in place is a specific spot of the frames. When that got tied in with screws then the rafters could be placed.
With the main side in place the sheating could be placed on top.
Over this the plastic membrane could be added again. Then before the roof steel the gutter could be installed. This is a pvc plastic gutter and few square meter roof a 100 mm wide gutter is plenty.
This will be hooked to a water reservoir for watering the plants in the dry season.
The gutter on the short side is special. There is no room to put a gutter there. So I am placing a gutter made of lead slabs. I fold it in place and make sure the is plenty angle to run the water down. And the steel roof will stay on top of the lead. This way the water will come down.
The customer himself did the insulation and inside covering. And one side of the siding. I find this always cool because it is good to try and do stuff yourself.
I continued with the siding. This is vertical again and the wood is douglas fir. Then I could install the window base and trim. This is simple board. Behind this board a bead silicone is added to keep moisture out and over this the membrane is placed again.
And then as a finale the border around the roofline is placed.
Stay tuned for the episode about the doors and the pergola and deck.
