lol, if we all spent the hours we have spent on this thread, with tools in our hands, this shed would be half done by now
Hi I wouldn't use shed" felt so to speak but would use a decent torch on felt iko,icopal etc. Normally would be a 3 layer system using a 3b or perforated felt on the bottom a 2 mm sanded felt followed by a 4 mm capping layer (mineral) felt. Osb board is fine to use if the roof is laid properly and most if not all roofers would use this board on a flat roof (roofer with 14 years experience ) . If you are want a price for the roof just consider most roofing company's in my area (surrey) would quote anywhere between £70 to £100 psm for a strip board and refelt roof inc clearance. That should also come with a 20 to 25 year guarantee. Grp is also a alternative but is a little more expensive. Lee
You're right actually. Well a lot of imported Russian and Scandinavian timber anyway. Fast growing, low density, light weight and less rigid over a given span than timber of a generation ago. Stamping something C24 doesn't make it so. There's so much cheap, sub-standard fast grown timber about now that its debatable whether timber load-bearing calcs and regulations don't need updating. Where a 10" joist might have been specified 50 years ago, now you need 12" to stop it bouncing. Work on an old building and the home-grown timber of a century ago is vastly superior to what we use today.
No....You send him the solutions, as you know best..........Apparently you built Prospect Wharf and I didn't. As for trying to give you a lesson in terminology, it was you that started that off by trying to correct me........
He wasn't........read it again.................he was going to span a steel across the building.........
Some people don't half make prats of themselves by not reading things properly or just trying to be clever............ Not surprised they need DIY Rescue.
