Finally today got this shed finished, happy days!

Just need to fill it now :sneaky2:

 

 

(and fit a gutter before the end of summer)

 

Looks great & strong :thumbup:

i particularly like the doubled up roof joists & the simple way you've notched the top of the roundwood poles.

 

What species of wood did you use for the roundwood posts & cladding?

As a guess I'll say, hmmm.... oak for the roundwood poles & Larch for the cladding. Am i right?? :thumbup: or :thumbdown:

 

cheers, steve

Cheers, I hope it will outlast me!

 

The posts are old electricity poles. Started out with 4 poles at about 9m long, and cut them in half (well just over/under) to make 8 posts.

 

All the other timber is Larch from the local sawmill - apart from 6 rogue lengths of Douglas Fir! The cladding is 2nd grade boards, 6" wide, 1" gap.

 

 

The size was mainly determined by the materials - the 8 poles, 16ft lengths of timber, 2ft wide roof sheets, and the need to get the dumper with roll bar in.

 

:biggrin:
