steel shed plans

[Wild Dingo]

Mate that seems to be common with these mobs... no instructions and the sales mobs say such as "its easy mate goes up like meccano" thats okay if youve ever played with meccano! But for those of us who havent its a friggin nightmare :mad:

to their credit shedco actually has "instructions" available only after purchase of shed and only after they give you the password to enable you to download it... then when you do its 170pages long generic to ALL their sheds but specific to none so you have to spend hours reading through them to sort out which of the friggin pages relates to your shed and which are irrelevent... a lot of wasted time and a lot of irrelevent nonscence totally unusabel for your shed... and even some of the stuff you think is relevent ends up irrelevent

So much that we tossed the flamin thing and went with our instinct... which never having erected a shed before was well... non-existant!

We ended up with sheets left over flashings left over and needing to get the C channel from 140klick round trip (more cost in fuel and time) along with having to purchase more bolts and those concrete bolts along with teck screws... all up a bloody nightmare

However... I am planning on doing it again!! glutton for punishment I know but then again I hope to find a farmer whos dyin to get rid of an old farm shed they no longer want for a song and I can sing as I take it down and re-erect it

Interestingly they do readily supply instructions for their houses... just not the sheds theoretically a sheds easier than a house but in reality both are equally difficult if one has never done either before eh... I think thats because although they say they have erectors available the erectors themselves say theyre not so you end up building it

Cheers!!

I could probably help out with plans echidna. I build custom sheds all out of square section steel, fully welded, not a bolt or bracket in sight. You guys havent seen a decent shed till you see one out of all solid steel. Enough bragging, Ihave one set of drawings(generic) that does any size shed from 6sqm to 500sqm. Only problem is that i had them drawn up for me, and the drawings assume you know how to use them, not much detail. Im in Port Macquarie so if you want to further any info contact me.

I built my last shed for less than 700 bucks.
S/H timber for frame, and S/H iron to clad. It measures 14.5 x 10m and has a timber storage lean to of 2.7 x 14m attached. I made up roof trusses out of 4x2 hwd, and added storage to the roof space with yellow tounge particleboard. Price did not include floor, roof space boards, power, or doors. I didn't put it through council, but when I did an extension to the house, I added in the shed on the site plan, as an existing structure, and it all passed.

Good luck.
