Very helpful! Needed to know how to seal sockets. 😊
Great videos mate. Huge fan of what Ali Dymock done as well. Looks awsome and thanks for sharing as designed mine and even had council approve it under permitted development, not that they needed to know but it is large at 8mx 4.5m , now just just come getting past the biggest challenge...... the wife🤣🤣 thanks again for the videos
This is looking epic, Kev, congrats on your progress. Child labour is always nice to have, sadly my 2 year old is useless with a drill, but I'll give him a go on the chopsaw soon.
Your roof - I don't think you've shown much detail - does it slope? The SketchUp makes it look flat. I want to do a relatively small corner shed and want a pent/single slope roof but I can't work out how to slope it without getting into complex geometry in making the rafters on the various sides lay all at the same pitch. Any tips? Cheers.
Hi nahladel, I explain the roof in these two videos, ruclips.net/video/2cXMDhu_x3A/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/mbqr6D8ceK0/видео.html There is indeed a slope on the roof, its over about 6m, 100mm to 0mm firrings, so about a 1 in 6 slope. Working this out on a square / oblong building is easy, but once you get into corner, or odd shaped buildings, it does become tricky, as the joists and firrings are all different lengths. I basically made them all the same length, then cut them off at the end, Hope that helps.
I don't understand the vapour barrier. Doesn't it just trap moisture in that would otherwise escape up and evaporate in the vented roof?
Hi can I ask shouldn't you take the vapour barrier inside the boxes you made for the spotlights to stop vapour above the lights? Also what did you stick the light insulation boxes together with.
The PIR light boxes are fully lined with foil tape, so they already have a vapour barrier. I think I used Gripfill to stick the PIR together, any glue will do the job.
What amp is the electrical wire you have used for this build?
Hi Ryan, 2.5mm twin & earth was used on the ring mains, and 1.5mm used on the lighting.
What vapour barrier have you used?
Hi, I used this one from Wickes, www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Green-Polythene-Vapour-Barrier---2-5-x-20m/p/153230
Great thank you.
