Hello, not sure if there is a rule not written with length of titles to threads, sorry if there is.
so, I currently store wood, my saw horses and a few other things down the side of our house, it’s kept dry with a roof that’s connected to the side wall and fence, but I live on the last house in the city, where there is several trees before an open field, theses trees find away to make holes in the roof, so I need a new place t store the wood, or plug all the holes.
I live on a hill, but the area I live on, has been cut out, they used the hill chalk to build a castle, many other things since 4th century, to a motorway in the 1970’s. As such, the ground is “flat” but com uneven. We do have a car port, that has been fenced into our garden, and we have a play house for my niece. The rest of the area, is about, 12ft, by 10ft, but there is a path and back gate here too, so realistically looking at 8ft by 10ft.
I am thinking of building a small work area, and storage for wood, a few tools and anything else needed that can free up our shed, and down the side of the house.
I plan to make it, 3ft, by 6ft, leaving me a flat outside work area, where I can simply wheel anything like table saw out and have plenty of room. If I need more room, I can always use the back drive area, as long as I don’t block people in.
I plan to start building this mid to late march, depending on weather, so I am in planning and working out cost stage here.
my badly drawn pictures and plans are to come.
So, first question would 1x2” treated be good enough to be the frame should I use a 2x2, bigger? This will be 6ft high, and will have a plastic clear roof (bad idea?) how far should I make the sud wall? I was thinking 18”, and my last question on material is, I built my bbq area out of feather boards, due to price, but do you think I should use it again, or go for something like shiplap? an idea I had was to make the storage area be able to be completely open when working, so my work bench would be 3ft deep, the doors to the area would completely be removable, allowing full access to storage and usability. I can make 2 doors, both 3ft by 6ft, maybe sliding in via rails (t track?).
what are your opinions?
i estimate this will take me about 4 months to build due to being disabled, and only able to build on good pain days and good weather. It took me 6 months to build my bbq area 2 years ago, but it’s still not finished as I haven’t glued down the tiles (worktop) - using giant floor tiles, cut down to 900mmx600mm
