We have decking outside our two story kitchen extension, I have wanted to turn it into a shed/workshop type place, the basic idea was use the outside house walls and build two Walls from a old shed or some used plywood etc.
Then I was kind of gifted some of this stuff

It coste £20 to get home, I paid their truck driver
They had paid about 3k not very long ago but the boss wanted it gone.
I've used it the wrong way round, I've used the thicker 110mm thick ceiling panels for the walls and the 90mm thick stuff for the roof as nobody is going to stand on it.
It fits together with silicone and I used tech screws to make it more secure
It's 5mtrs long and 3mtrs wide
The wife thought it was really ugly, so I fitted shiplap to the outside
The door was glazed mahogany, I removed the glazing, fitted a bracing bar half way up and put shiplap on the outside, Rockwool and plywood on the inside.
Currently the floor is slabs but I'm going to remove them, level and concrete
It's got power but no lighting etc another job for next year

Re: Shed/ woodworking space
I thought you said no-one was going to stand on the roof? You've got steps running up to the roof...?

Yebbut, he said he only had to build 2 walls so I suspect the ceiling is a nice to have.
I'm sure the architect will explain.

Re: Shed/ woodworking space
Yeah. It looks like a proper job, so I'll assume it is...
