I build modern industrial pieces from timber and steel. I sometimes draw on other skills like electronics and painting. I utilise various techniques including welding, blacksmithing, and woodworking to create well-designed and functional projects.
Thanks I've decided todo something similar to line our shed. Slightly more information like how you secured it would be useful in the future.

Great tips, AWSOME channel and everything that’s right up my alley. We learned the mouse gap issue the hard way. They were also getting under the roller door. So if you have some tips on sealing the roller doors please let us know. Our Stratco looks exactly the same as yrs, only we did get some liquid goo to put in the concrete before the bolts.great work tying all 2 structures together, that can’t of been easy with no proper shed destructions.

In NZ it costs 2-3x as much as what you pay for steel kit set. In 2021 I built 120m2 plywood shed mono pitch with concrete floor cost $25k excluding electrical and consent fees and labour. Wood cladding improves humidity compared to my previous steel shed.

Well done mate. I am wanting to put on a shed at our place in rural nsw. I dont think i am as brave as you i would get a builder to do mine and a concreter, this is because as my wife says the only thing handy about me is i live close. Thanks for the informative video, however our shed will be to live in. Would you say 3 metres high enough or should l go higher? Im also not sure how big a shed i should buy to have 3 or 4 bedroom home. Cheers again your shed looks great, well done.

Hey mate, sounds like a big project on your hands! As for height, mine is high enough for fume dissipation but not quite high enough for a comfortable mezzanine. So I'd be thinking is the extra surface area usable. As for overall floor size, you'll have to balance your needs with economy of scale. Material lengths are engineered at various price points (span widths etc) so I'd start by shopping around.

Mate that video was outstanding - so well thought through, filmed, edited. The content was great too, exactly what I came here for. Thank you so much for sharing. A few really minor points: 1) I've used exactly the same sealant on my concrete driveway and carport, and was told to use 50% thinners for the first coat, which I did and it worked well. Don't know the pro's and cons of 20% vs 50% but if you want to spread your remainder that's an option. 2) Have you thought about roof sprinkler systems for fire protection? if so, I'd love to see you do it, as you seem very DIY savvy and meticulous. 3) With regards to electrical, I get you wanting it done properly, but another option I use all the time, is run all the cable & conduit and mount all fittings, then pay a sparky to connect, check & power up. That way it's certified work for the construction cert and ongoing insurance, but a lot cheaper. Heaps of sparkies are happy to spend 2 hours and charge $500 instead of 2 days for $2,000. 4) Did you set any fall for the slab or just do it all dead-flat? The former is good for water run off eg pressure cleaning and the latter best for machinery obviously. 5) Do you have any idea of what weight you can safely lift using the roof beams as is? Some large spans obviously. I like lifting engines out of cars or lifting a ride-on mower up to work on it, so roof winches are useful but load bearing could be an issue. 6) I always throw a sealed conduit with a draw string under a slab across the middle in case of future cabling requirements. I can't help myself, sometimes it's better to have power or data coming up from the floor than down from the roof, I mark it on the outside and in the EDB to help future me / owners. Thanks again for such a high quality video, I am going to check out your others now. Take care mate!

Hey mate, some great tips, thanks for sharing! Agree on the sealant - thinner has deeper penetration. It has lifted a bit in the oily areas - have enough left to top up. No roof sprinklers at this stage - expensive to do it properly (all metal). Electrical - totally agree, depends on the tradie. I've also helped chippies lay noggins to save time. No fall intentional as you mentioned, and slab always above ground. As for weight on the span - this is supported independantly from the shed. Not sure on weight, but the data is available - if I was lifting an engine I'd look it up first :D Good idea on conduit - we had orange conduit in our roof (the tough stuff) with rat chew holes all along it, little buggers get desparate when they're dehydrated from throw poisons.

Buddy there's way more inherent risk in chemically stripping the zinc. Take it out back, leave it the ol' burn barrel, throw it in the sink with soap and water. Personally I just weld the shit and keep the fumes out of my hood. Zinc is pretty low on the totem pole.
