Workshop Construction

Oct 07, 2008 7 Replies

Some time ago I recall a thread descibing a workshop construction but despite keeping 95% of posts I can't find a sensible text to search on which brings up the details.



Am I having a 'senior moment' or can any one else remember who it was doing the new build?



The reason for the enquiry is that I seem to remember that some sort of prefabricated panels were used and I'm looking to do something similar but can't find any similar (or even suitable) panels from the usual building trade sources.

ISTR another thread a bit more recently, but haven't looked for it yet.

My panels came form these nice gentlemen:-

The panels cost me about £8000 inc VAT in the summer of 2005 for a 30m^2 workshop 3m high with 150mm SIPs for all walls, roof and door.

The rest of the work cost me somewhat more and shortened my life by several decades :-)

Looks just like my workshop ALL the time.................

Is there any text to go with the workshop series - looks like a brilliant workshop!

Personally I thought day 7 was the best where he buried that little digger.

I want to know how many elf & safety inspectors he buried with it.

Thanks for the pointer, Mark. It's always useful to see how others have solved 'problems' since it might lead to a rethink so I never dismiss ideas out-of-hand.

Useful info Mark, Thanks. I may well seek you out at the Leamington Exhibition and get some first hand pointers.

The position and size of the workshop certainly appears to have sucessfully reduced the Rand family exposure to any fluctuations in the price of lawn mowers.

Have your neighbours made any comments?
