Grrr...chip board....great for dolls houses. NEVER EVER use it where there is even 1% chance it may become damp or wet. Even the Green stuff eventually gives in. Rats and mice love it......never had WPB eaten by rodents.
Our cabin is from Dunster. 45mm tongue and groove, came with double glazing, insulated floors and roof. We used torch down on the roof. It's about 4.5m x 3.5m. Cost under £2.5k. However the concrete base bumped the cost up due to the slope of the garden. But no planning required as most of their cabins are under 2.5m at the highest point. electric run out using buried armoured cabling, quite a run of about 8m but we were given the cabling.
I dont know,to be honest.Its strong enough to walk on without crushing it.If I say so myself, it looks quite neat.Dont know what the neighbours think.
It was pre coated.I got them from a chap that used to live next door.He worked for a place that makes concrete garages.The sheets I had were surplus/scrap roofing sheets I think.My brother in law had some 4x2 sat in his garden for ages that he didnt want.Ended up costing probably £400-£500.That includes the concrete floor,mixed by me,with help from a mixer I got from a skip!
Flat is ok, pitch can be reduced if solution is sound. Concrete base is because I dont want to breakout an existing concrete slab - just expand it. Base is for shed to sit on, internal flooring open to specification. Width also reduced to 18'
Cool.. There is so many options as to flooring but they reduce depending on the substrate,as in if your existing slab does not have a dpm under it you wouldn't want to fit anything directly to it so you would need a frame (treated) and then flooring over and build the workshop (not shed.. i dont build sheds :smile on top. where abouts are you mate?
Just a thought but could you DPM the slab and raise the existing area by an inch or two, bringing the remainder up to the same level - seems a cheap route to getting a dry slab?
