That's nice, how big is it, 7 x 4?? What's that criss-cross plastic stuff under it?
I might be tempted to go right down to the ground tacking on more weatherboarding to the ends of the bearers as a "trim".
EDIT: I have found the very apex of the roof can flex, causing the felt to crack along the ridge. Screwing on a pair or pair and a half of hinges which can be second-hand is a quick and easy way to get over that problem. |

6x8... I levelled the ground and embedded some concrete slabs I had going spare. The plastic stuff is something called "EcoDeck" that came with the kit. It's actually intended to just go straight over dirt, grass lawn, anything really but I felt an extra layer underneath couldn't hurt Finally filled in with some cheap gravel it's actually quite a substantial foundation, short of laying actual concrete.
As you suggest, not quite sure how I'll finish the surrounding area... a little raised flower bed, maybe just some paving, lots of scope ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I like sheds. Sheds are good.
I rescued one from near the High Street, well not the floor I left 'cos it would not come up in one bit, but the roof I took because it had some usable boards in it. The owner was chucking it. Some bizarre fantasist had overfelted the roof a couple of times over the years, and ended up using 2 1/2" clout nails which poked through A LOT, so it was dangerous to go in unless only the height of a mushroom, it looked like the inside of an "iron maiden".
That had to have a new floor and roof, stirling board like yours, with torch-on felt which is dangereuse.
That one's full of old bicycles and small garden machinery, and bottles for apple juice. Flower pots, too. I can't get into it |

Possibly an /thread moment

It's not only for bike(s) though there's a bunch of work related stuff in there too.
It was an unusable tumbledown Victorian pigsty until 2015 when I re-arranged all the stones.
Inside is fully insulated floor walls roof to house standards really. |

Nice job! I particularly like the way you describe the building work as a rearrangement of stones... Doubtless to achieve Part L ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

That does not look like a shed. What does the outside look like? |

The backroom is mostly shelving along with a laptop connected too a couple of old 1440p monitors. Previous owner built it, I added the engineered wood floor. It needs re-planning as I have a 2 seater sofa to go in there soon.
Main bit I do have plans to put a better door in, floor the front part (the concrete it has is awful) and paint the walls. However all that is pretty far down the list of shit to do as everything works as is.
I need a shed like yours in the Garden really so I can get the pedalbikes and garden tools out of my cave. |
