BTW since that thread I now have a pegboard tool wall, a workbench and mains lighting
Things I love:
The transparent roof. It’s a wonderful place to be.
A bit loud in the rain, but amazing amount of light.
Thick 2×4 construction. I rang timber yards and got it all for the same price as much smaller non-tanilised timber from wickes. Only paid 20% more than 3×2 from the same place and it’s worth it. Feels like a building rather than a shed. Easy to mount anything to and it’s rock solid for hanging bikes. Workbench is fastened to it and doesn’t move a mm when sanding/chiselling/planing/etc.
Proper fire door with proper heavy duty hinges.
Things I’d consider differently:
Because of the roof, I don’t really need as many windows. There isn’t a view really, so I’d probably make them smaller (more secure) and maybe openable. I’d still retain something at eye level though.
Some moisture is still slightly tarnishing some vulnerable surfaces in winter. One option would be to build a membrane into the floor, or maybe under the hardcore. Another is ventilation. It’s not a massive issue. I’m trying a couple of those B&M bargains dehumidifier things to see if it makes a difference. They are filling with water in about 6weeks so not sure (and it’s summer now anyway).
I would probably char the larch deeper. It’s lightened quite a bit.
I probably didn’t need tanilised 2×4 as it’s all hidden from the elements by the larch.
Things I’d definitely change:
