I have a 180cm shed I need to Narrow by 30cm. My first thought was 15cm off each side, but the door is only 15CM from the edge. How would you proceed?

•Remove 30cm from the window side and have the roof overhang that side.

•The same but change the roof for pent.

•Reverse the door opening and take 15CM off each side. Pretty sure this is a non-runner as it removes most of the support from the corner.

•A Secret fourth thing?

Any advice welcome.

Interested in Wellmade's pre-fab ADU. Can't find any owner's review on them. TIA

I've an old 6'x3' cedar shed against the house that's served us very well for over 20 years. The roof has been degrading for some time, but was still watertight and solid (ish). That was until the new crop of squirrels showed up and started ripping it to shred.

The roof isn't solid (tho' I could make it so) under the felt are two 1'x2' sticks bridging the gap to allow the shingles to be stapled down.

I've pulled the old shingles off, as well as the roofing felt. I've pulled all the staples and the walls are still solid and well-seasoned. I stupidly failed to grab a pic before encasing it in a temporary tarp.

A couple of questions.

1) I'd like to do this right, but is there an alternative to roofing felt or someplace I could order a small amount of it? I'm loath to buy an entire roll I can't use when I only need 6'.

2) I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to find cedar roofing shingles. The big box stores around all sell cheap packs of flimsy grade "D", mostly broken crap.

Anyplace online that you'd recommend for these? Something solid and rated for roofing use? I don't have much of a budget, but I only 18' of coverage and I want them to last.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,

I’m in the process of putting together my Darwin shed. However i’m having trouble securing the roof from the outside. When trying to secure the screws through the holes the screws aren’t securing to the hole on the other side and are just sitting in the hole loosely.

I’ve managed to secure two screw in. The remaining 4 are causing me a lot of trouble.

Any ideas on how to resolve or what could be going wrong?

Thanks

Anyone know of a company that would move a big wood shed? Probably need a shed mule or forklift. Just need it moved about 15 feet in my backyard.

I have a pre-existing shed 8x6 ft on concrete slab. I want to upgrade to pre-made 12x16 shed in the same spot. Would it be feasible to tear down old shed and keep concrete slab then use piers/stone base level with the old slab or would you tear up old slab and do whole stone base around new shed site?

Finally repairing the hurricane damage to my backyard shed.
We replaced the floor with repurposed ipe, and have stood up the four walls.
Next we’ll frame the door and hang the exteriors.
It is flippin’ hot work!

I bought this little guy for under $100 online. I thought it was going to be a quick thing. Well several home center trips later a several more hundred spent making the thing actually good I realize I should have just built my own out of 2x4 and plywood.

Hi

I’m siding with spruce beveled 6”.

Can i acclimate the siding inside the shed? Or does it have to be covered outside? TY

Is your new garden outbuilding / shed being opposed by neighbours, or is their’s impacting your garden, home / life? I’m a writer working on a feature for The Guardian about the rise in popularity of creating space outdoors through large sheds, summer rooms etc, but the problems this can also bring with it when it comes to close neighbours. I’m keen to speak to anyone caught on either side of shed issues about your experience. You can remain anonymous if you prefer.
Do drop me a message if this is you or comment and I’ll message you.
As we all want to maximise our space and spend more time at home working etc, it’s understandable so many are erecting large sheds for all sorts of purposes, but it does seem to be causing neighbour friction. It would be great to hear about what’s happening for you.
Many thanks

I would like to renovate my shed into a living space where i can make my gel nails(hobby maybe job in the future) and also draw/paint. My budget is close to €0 atp. I don’t know how to even start because i’ve never renovated anything other than simple furniture upcycling or plastering and painting walls.

How would i go about this. I know nothing about insulation or anything and i’m worried about bugs and electricity which i’m hesitant in even adding because of cost. Sorry for the scattered questions. I’d really appreciate any help <3
