Need a carpenter to build a garden shed


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Camberwell SE5 here (Myatts Field). My garden shed is old and needs to be replaced. There is a foundation base that has not been used to its full potential. I would like to make a shed (not flatpack, but from the ground up) The foundations are 160cm (W) 290ish (D) as the wall is slightly curved.... Have an image in my head of something with an angled roof (from high on the wall side to low on the garden side) and maybe from corrugated (clear plastic) roofing. But am pretty open to anything - so long as it is functional!

Anytime from mid July to August this year if possible.

Drop me a line and we can make a date or give me a ball park figure of costs.

Cheers

Brett

Hello,


My name is Paul, I have various experience of sheds & also cabin building.


May I ask your reasons for not wanting a flat pack shed? In my experience, they tend to be rather good value, whatever price / quality range you opt for.


Second post up here asking for a scratch built shed, in a month or so. Last guy was unnecessarily rude when I enquired into his motivations. Reasons I could think of would be that you want something super cheap (osb sheets, which wouldn't weather well & would only really be cheaper if you do all the labour yourself) or something really high end, for habitation.


Be happy to discuss with you,


Paul

Ah, OK. Well, I suppose that the reasoning behind it is to make the most of the foundations. And, the back wall curves a bit and is not precisely straight.

Perhaps you are right guys - maybe I should go looking for a flat pack shed and try mu luck with the dimensions.

Thanks for the advice - I'll get back to you if I need some help.


(This is my first post about the shed, so it was not me who was rude!!)

Honestly, laying a new concrete slab is not a big job for a pro. Orders of magnitude simpler than building a bespoke shed from scratch.


Empire sheds are good quality... would look great with a nice coat of paint too.

    • God forbid we should have a discussion that doesn't align with the forum doctrines.  That Piermont Green house is a gem. A great example of art deco at its finest. I love that period of architecture and design. 
    • Your post doesn't prove that Khan's adult onset asthma is caused by pollution.  First you posted a link to the Lancet to say there's no clear link to adult onset asthma.  And then a link to an article saying children can develop asthma from pollution - we all know that.  Desperate times, Mal? This post smacks of 'I hate common sense'. 
    • Yes, I'd agree that things have changed there. They are helpful once you've got an appointment but I've found it really hard getting one - I normally have to wait a week or two to get an appointment. I also sent them a referral letter from a consultant requesting some blood tests be made - I had no response at all from them. 
    • I'm fine thank you, and you ?  Just fed up of people throwing out "you hate xyz" in a discussion because they present an alternative view.  Its called a discussion forum for a reason, not a one sided monologue platform.    Although now I said it, Mal will forever sound like Sméagol when I read what they post 🤣
