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.

    • I think it was her solicitor that identified past issues, not the survey, but yes the whole thing was very odd. As was the fact she posted it all on here! And kept referring to it as a "project." Maybe she never actually intended to live in it. Who knows.
    • Oh my.....FIFA.....still managing to embarrass themselves. Absolutely. Well said.
    • it did seem like a rediculous almost troll like post... I did'nt love the property/it was'nt priced like a probate property which is what I'd asked for/I can afford 5k (or whatever...) extra insurance premium its not about the extra cost/also considering Clapham etc etc.. I reiterate that anyone daft enough to put in an offer on a property which I gather is over 800k and go as far as having a survey done on a house they actually admit they did'nt like..then being 'embarrased' when they survey throws up previously unmentioned issues and posts on a forum asking what to do really needs to stand back and have a good look at what on earth they are doing. I may have implied that..I was incredulous when I read what she posted. it did'nt make sense throwing money into buying a house you didnt want then agonising over it.
    • Basically.     the whole thing is repugnant on every level.  And that’s before we get to any whim of Trump about countries in the summer first time Ireland are in the pot for 24 years and instead of being excited I just don’t wanna look
