New shed

[sinjin]

I'm about to start building my new shed. 12mx 6.5m 2 storey.
Bottom level besser block with piers. top level horizontal stud wall and tin.
I have some windows which are 2.7mx 2.4m so i have to place lintels
across the tops of the windows and doors. The usual method is gal angels.
a friend told me he has seen concrete lintels. Does anyone know where i can get these? i'm in melb so melb places would be best.

Sorry can't help, but a 2 storey shed eh... that's a forum first isn't it?

We have decided on an Ashphalt driveway. The sides will be lined with the few hundred bricks we have. The sides I can do. Does anyone have any recommendations or references for someone who will quote the asphalting? It is about 80 sq m

I have a couple of contacts I will try from the Yellow pages also, but there does not appear to be many.

Don't forget to organise the crane truck, concrete lintels will be quite hefty !

I asked the brickie if he wanted me to organise a crane for the 300 Ub's.
i said i can design and build a simple crane gantry to lift the beams in place...a 3m lift. he said, what do they weigh?..i told him they are 300 x 32..so about 200kg.....he said don't worry about it...we will lift them up on ladders.
Anyway i hope to kick off in the next 2 months. I already have the slab done
