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.

    • There is a vaccine against RSV, but also one against pneumonia; I've had both. But maybe you've only had one. The pneumonia was offered to me several years before RSV, which I think was only last year. Worth checking what you have had. 
    • Looks to me like a server configuration problem.   Unfortunately if say "This project is in maintenance mode, tweet @bombsightuk for questions." It might be worth a try.  
    • You might be right, but I don't think this is Covid. The Covid test was negative,  the sore throat was very sore but  only lasted a day, and I wouldn't call the intermittent very runny nose, sneezing and dry cough "horrendous". The lack of energy is the worst thing. I've been in bed since Thursday. But it doesn't really matter what it is, I just hope it goes away sooner rather than later 😭 I had to Google RSV. I had a jab for that I think, but I thought it was for pneumonia, maybe they just called it that. Staying in bed in the hope it won't get worse.  Labelling it is irrelevant really, unless there is a quick fix for something specific which can be identified, which sounds unlikely.
    • Yes it may well not be C-19, but whatever it is, it's like wildfire and everyone is describing the same symptoms.  I pretty a saline nasal wash stopped me from getting a follow-on sinus infection. It's an unpleasant but strangely satisfying process
