GoldCamberwell Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 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.CheersBrett Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/229079-need-a-carpenter-to-build-a-garden-shed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullesville Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 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 07782371990 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/229079-need-a-carpenter-to-build-a-garden-shed/#findComment-1347443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Yeah a small shed like this bespoke built is multiples x more than a kit shed would cost.I wondered why too.

GoldCamberwell Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 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!!)

fishbiscuits Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 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.https://www.empiresheds.co.uk/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/229079-need-a-carpenter-to-build-a-garden-shed/#findComment-1347555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
