Re: Shed Condensation/Cladding

My dad has suggested creating a skirt around the perimeter using the DPC, it should stop water coming in but will reduce the ventilation/draught. The highest point of the roof can be left exposed as it is 1m away from the house so should never get driving rain or wind. Plasterboard was mainly becaus...

Re: Shed Condensation/Cladding

Hi, Thanks for responses. I have ordered a roll of Tyvek and will return the non-breathable membrane. The base is 2" concrete pavers coated in garage floor paint (not sure if that helps?). There is a DPC stapled to the base of the timber frames and the whole lot will be sat on some off-cuts of ...

My apologies if this is a bit off topic so please feel free to delete if not allowed. I'm in the process of building a large timber framed shed (pent roof) that will be clad in plastisol sheet.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the pics but im struggling to find any info on sizing. I'm 5'10" so thinking it may be a little small for me?

Cheers,

Re: 29+ frame

Stooge speedballs are nearly £900 for frame and fork.

I've got a rooster but recently took the 3" tyre off the back for a 2.3" purgatory. The chain can rub on the tyre with a double and 3" tyre.

I like the look of the new Krampus but not sure if it meets your spec.

Re: Something for you dot followers..

Likewise I know very little about boating but from his blog he planned to head south in search of better seas. He's also in the shipping channels so may be playing frogger with liners and it also mentions some odd currents and big waves in the next week or so.
