😬 👍

Not just big ships, this goes for any line under heavy tension, anywhere. good thing it wasnt under tension in the video!

The frame like £600… The finished product like £1000 with plastering paint, lights etc etc

What a science.

"Outdoor wood" Technical term there

it's what the policeman warned me about in the park.@@jhvorlicky

100x100 inches 200x100 inches Joists were 200x50 inches (not 100% sure but the standard for planks)

​@@dougymccrae I think you mean millimeters. So in inches it would be 4" x 4" 4" x 8" 2" x 8"

Thanks UK at the mo

Good for you! how did you manage Ray?

thanks, 3.1m

Yup, you could probably build a house on it lol. An architect gave me those measurements 😆 apparently that’s to building regulations

They look like they can hold 1,000 pounds.

plasterboard with screws then plaster over the top

Thank you! luckily for me my friend was a studying architect. You should use c24 untreated timber. 01:55 shows a quick plan of how I jointed it together. Building regulations will force you to over compensate, I probably didn't need the wood to be that thick but if you're planning to rent or sell a place its always best practice to make sure it's to building regulations.

The CCA preservative was banned but thank you for bringing this to my attention I’ll definitely look further into it to make sure it’s okay. The timber company actually recommended I dry it so I bought a dehumidifier which completely dried the wood over a few days and then it was covered with plasterboard and plaster

The pillars are not connected to the wall, in fact there was some gaps between the wall and pillars as walls tend not to be dead straight. It’s better to have the pillars flat against the floor than the wall as the weight could break the wall overtime. The gaps can be covered with plaster board before plastering over. The horizontal beam on the right was screwed into the wooden frame of the stud wall. But I didn’t have to do this because as I added more weight to the mezzanine it was impossible to move anyway. My dad kept telling me “it won’t want to move” haha Check out my vid: how to build a freestanding mezzanine - for more detail

Oh yes. You are right. Totally forgot about the surface. Especially this old uneven wall like mine. LOL dad. I can imagine his face haha. Alright, noted. I think I will get smaller size for the beam and pillar. Thanks for your time man. Appreciate it. Keep up all the good work. 👍🏻👍🏻

That’s okay! I hope you found it useful, for the second part check out ‘finishing a freestanding mezzanine’

@@dougymccrae good work mate Nice one

Why thank you 😉 .........oh.... you mean the mez...why thank you ☺️

H215cm L345cm, w244cm & Ceiling Height 6.5ft 190cm

Yeah it was tough but a good workout 👌 haha I am pleased to say I now own a circular saw

Thank bro!

The materials around £1300 including mdf, plasterboard, untreated timber, joist hangers, plaster, lights. Not including tools

Dougy in his own World Thanks for answering 🙏🏼

Yes however depending on the span you may need more posts for example in the middle, might be best to consult an architect to make sure 👌 My Mez is L3.5m by W2.5m

I appreciate the insight. I do have access to a few at my work too. Thanks again!

Thanks bud! if you're looking to build one of a similar same size, materials would cost around £1200 including untreated timber, mdf for storage, plasterboard, plaster mix and osb3 board. maybe another £200 for the paint and carpet depends where you source it.

Additionally the staircase was £500 but I went for a really good one

🤟Thank you!

Daniel Ben Rafael Yosef From the center of each joist it’s 400mm. The joists are 47mm thick and I used 50mm joist hangers. The shorter the span the stronger the structure, also there was an irregular part of the wall 👍 remember to use some L brackets on the posts. This mezzanine was designed to the specification of a floor in a house, so probably overkill but it’s building regulations in the UK.

@@dougymccrae cheers mate. Better to be sure

Thank you

Thanks for the comment, building a bed frame and storage up there, will be uploading a video soon 👍
