One of the downfalls of building your own is that you are to exhausted to use it when you are done. It is looking good and seems you are moving fast to me. I know it does not feel that way at your end though.

Firstly they are called 4x2s. You see, we believe in labelling everything correctly.:biggrin::biggrin::tongue:
Our 4x2s are spaced at 600mm centres (see, we even spell correctly
) That's 24 and a bit inches. In some cases the centers - oops! - are spaced at 450mm or 18 and a bit inches. We also place noggins between studs at 1200mm from the bottom plate.It suddenly struck me after I had signed off that with all those studs and the bracing provided by the sheeting, that your shed (shed= a place for a bloke to work, daydream, potter,invent.enjoy solitude etc.) probably has t endure some substatial wind loads and down force on the roof. Am I correct?

AH HA..No wonder you were amazed at my studding..no noggins..how could I have forgotten noggins? Geez...Yes the roof must withstand high winds and very heavy snow loads..it's minimum pitch of 4/12 (foot high over ft horizontal, just incase I'm doing it backward again) :biggrin: we can get 12 ft or more of snow in winter (which is your summer) So a sturdy roof is essential...thanks for your comments & questions...Firstly they are called 4x2s.

Art, get with the program! We changed to metric quite some time ago, what's all this mixing of sizes. They are 90x45, get it right please!
Nice looking shed mickr, hope you crack a few coldies when it's done!
