You Can Create Your Own Shed!
If you are looking for a temporary outbuilding then wooden sheds, like playhouses, are classified as temporary structures and are unlikely to need plotting permission. Although there are several businesses that will happily construct a wooden shed for you, if you are looking to save money than using your DIY skills and building your own wooden shed can be quite straightforward with the right know how.
When building a wooden shedthink carefully about exactly how you are going to use the outbuilding and how different styles of shed design can fulfil your needs. Consider placement and lighting of your wooden shed too – you will want your wooden outbuilding to be accessible and to use the natural lighting present in your garden as best it can. Plus never forget to consider how size, shape and even the colour of each structure can compliment the aesthetics of your garden as a whole.
Which instructions you will need to undertake to erect your new garden shed will depend on the style of shed that you choose and should be provided with the shed itself. Here are two simple suggestions you could reckon about in order to get you underway:
Lay a solid base- Every wooden shed or outbuilding needs a base slab before it can be constructed. Efficient drainage can be ensured by making the base slab 25mm smaller than the floor of the shed itself and slightly tilting it. Pressure treated wood timbers and solid concrete blocks are best for shed bases and should be set down directly on the ground. Never place these on wet, low-lying ground but as this will not help in preventing erosion and could cause you constant problems.
Ensure Low-Maintenance upkeep – It’s always smart to choose low maintenance materials when building your wooden shed, as many home-owners have barely enough time to ensure complete maintenance of their home let alone their garden structures. Low maintenance options to consider include; Plastic lumber, vinyl or aluminium windows, faux-slate roof shingles, fibreglass or steel doors.
