Bloody awesome Nicko absolute machine. . Love how it's built over the old one, how did you do the floors so they match up or slab over top of old one??

Everything from the old shed will move once it's weatherproof. At the moment it's just away from the edges where it was most likely to leak. Once it's fully sealed I'll start moving the benches. Going to be a process but I'll get there. Re floors the slab was originally poured at around 4x11(11m was max width for the space and I came out 4m from the garage next door) only one end is square hence the hip at one end. The old shed was just a pre-made second hand jobbie, The new shed is made to completely take up the slab, no need to change flooring

The walls do you mean? It's jammed tight inbetween a retaining wall and a handrail(3x100x200 posts) and the trusses hold the walls plumb. The are diagonal braces in the roof the hold it level and the tophats used as bearers are spacing the trusses correctly.

Fair enough mate. At least the weatherboards will help. Are you structurally independant from next door's garage?

Ooi do you mean hoop iron or something similar? Daz mentioned the same but it really can't move anywhere I want able to square the walls up, just built them level off the top retaining wall, then jammed the last frame in. I can't see it being able to shift left or right and the roof trusses hold the ins and outs. I mean at the end of the day, it's a shed, made from f14 grade timber, it's ridiculously overkill lol. Should be fine. I appreciate the mention though. The external cladding will hold the walls, but the internal walls will be fixed with 16mm ply also, once both sides are fixed on I don't think anything will move anywhere.

All good mate. Just would hate to see it fall on your head in a big blow which you get up there or if the neighbour pulls his garage down.

FWIW: Not sure the Good Ol Boys in the Northern US of A even know what hooping iron is, all domestic structures throughout say Minnesota gales are stabilised via what we call Ply Board externally & internally
