Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
You must have been a good boy on valentines night, to get permission ! I agree with the other comments build it twice what you think you will need ! Lawnmowers, bikes, garden tools, eat valuable
space. You will need shelving this eats into floor space. To max on the space and minimise on the costs would an American Barn idea be an option best bang for your bucks? A Pit with a GRP liner,
as much natural lighting as possible roof lights ? When working on cars you need to have enough
room to have doors open etc an be able to walk around. Insulation everywhere particularly the floor
as it gets very cold. I would epoxy the floors. You lucky man what I would not do for a new garage !

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
I see a pit in my future but that's a project for the garage - this will be on the back of the garage and cars won't be accessible
The simple things you see are all complicated

Mark you will NEVER control the moisture if you do And then you might as well leave the car outside to the elements where at least there's free air circulation to take it away

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
Thanks Phillip but the shed is not for the car - I've got a double garage already - this is a workshop on the back of itpmjt wrote:sladey wrote:I've already received some resistance to a concrete base as opposed to slabs. Obviously I'll give in on that and have slabs.

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
You definitly do need another Permission.
Make it 2 x bigger to 'future-proof' it, as a Bridgeport miller will follow the lathe, and you will need a welding bench too...
Nice 2012 project, but we need a full project thread!

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
Interesting thought (the welding bench) - I've got a workbench in the garage at the moment (which is part of the reason it's hard to get both cars in). I'm planning on restricting all welding to the garage (don't really want to be welding in a wooden structure) - I could move the workbench to the new shed and have a steel welding bench in the garage but make it narrower.911hillclimber wrote:You definitly do need another Permission.

By the time the Milller comes along I'll have bought the neighbours garage as well...
Garden dungeon Nige - interesting idea as well - on my lottery list is building a 3-storey garage underground (as I believe some wealthy Londoners have done)
At the moment it feels a bit like Christmas is coming! Very exciting

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
This may not be entirely relevant if you're just looking for a shed, but I'm currently wading through this site looking for inspiration for the wood fired sauna that I'm going to build in my garden.
Don't worry, its not as racy as it sounds.

Remember that forgiveness is easier to obtain than permission

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
This is my layout, I lack natural light even though I have 4 large windows, I have a standing loft with large trapdoor and electric hoist , so that I can store engines, wheels etc. I had to reinforce the loft floor with RSJ's to support the weight !

Re: O/T - Der uber-shed
I thought you was a bit of 'woodsman' anyway Mark, just get a proper base down and go wooded structure on top for cost, DIY ability and ease of modifications along the way . Slabs are w*nk and will be prone to movement and if you want to lift the car up on stands or put any weight on them for all you dungeon machinery they'll be prone to cracking.
Jasper, I think Marks effort will be a little more modest.

Jasper, Nige is right - my Uber-shed is going to be a little more modest than your setup
