I had been asked to put up some pics of my new shed in another thread. I can't remember the thread ,so heres a new thread.
Coming from a base trade as a boilermaker, I seem to head towards a good safety factor in strength for what I design or build. Not that it was me who designed or built this shed. It is average size of 9 x6 metres but being smack dab in the middle of cyclone territory I did want it strong enough ( built like a brick dunny) to resist most cyclones.I added a 6m x 6m double carport on the front and a 6m x 4m at the side to give a covered area of 112m square metres and thus expanded the potential for extra covered work areas when required.
Many sheds are erected by using Loxins to screw down the sheet metal formed columns that are barely thicker in wall thickness than the rain gutter downpipes that drain them. These sheet metal components have an intimate contact with the concrete slab and corrosion begins at that point. After some years the results of corrosion and thin metal could be sheared off from the ground by Cyclonic force.This type of construction was not for me !
The company that built my shed, Ranbuild, have a different approach.
They use 50mm x 6mm galvanised U shaped brackets that are cast into the concrete. Me, being me, went belts and braces and I coated the saddles in bitumen paint before erection of the portal frames. The portal frame components are 200 x 75mm x 2.4w/t
There's certainly a mess there in the photos but if I don't do this now, I know I'll forget for sure. The photos were all previously arranged in order but somethings changed in the system, but the pics pretty much speak for them selves.
You will see the end of an 2400 x 1200 table on castors .I will be able to wheel that outside to grind and weld avoiding spraying the hot grinder sparks that would marr the walls and 2 pack floor.
Theres a 5Kw solar array sitting on the roof which has average 35Kws of generation a day so we aircondition ,weld ,use the lathe, wash and generally do as much heavy power consumption tasks in the day hours .
There is still mobs of work to do in constructing benches across the gable end of the shed,, laying the second coat of 2 pack and bringing in the rest of the machines it always takes longer than what you plan for.
