    Seeing in real life before & seeing it finished. This video doesn't give this build the justice it deserves. It's a cracking build and so many back breaking days went into this. Fairplay Tony. This is such asset to your growing space. Danny 🌱

    Hi buddy
    This shed brings back some AWSOME memories…. I remember a group of gardeners from the allotment site sitting in that shed/playing cards with my uncle Terry, while I was attending to his plot lol. I was around 10 years old … that’s how I got into gardening

    • @simplifygardening

    Taking on work done by someone else somehow always creates unexpected issues. It's a temperate rainforest zone here so using those pieces of ply wouldn't be much good. Moisture would immediately rot it.
    Painting all surfaces is what we must do to have anything wood stay in one piece.
    Shelving looks nice and deep, with structure strong.
    Much better than what was there.

    • @simplifygardening
      @simplifygardening  3 месяца назад

      They are 2 ft deep and they are measured off the trays I bought so the shelving was built to them. It gets very wet here but as long as you felt things and allow other stuff to breath it will last. at least as long as I need

    @Munter1 3 месяца назад

    What a transformation Tony, it might of been a pain in the arse to do it all but at the end of the day it will now last for a good many years and obviously it's going to make your work at the allotment much easier.
    l'm not not sure why you left the uprights on the second shelf sticking up, but if you cut them to the same height as the shelf it will make it much easier to store things on it, unless you have left them for a reason?

    @bobrovalex 3 месяца назад

    bad idea with insulation, unless you ok with rotted roof. Condensation will happens like in old shed, but will hold longer, because insulation material be holding moisture. If you want to get rid of condensation, just make simple ventilation.
    P.S. sorry for bad english.
