Building a shed!

clivvy · 08-08-2010, 18:29

yup, me and the other half are starting stage one of our new shed-build this week. a brief description of current layout is that we have an existing garage pointing towards the back of the house, decking to the right side up to the old shed. we are taking the old shed down, and building a new one up to the garage, to form an L shaped unit, so it will look like one building.

the plan is to build an apex roof that MEETS the garage apex roof, rather like a barn type building, with guttering runing all the way round to a water container.

initially we need a load of timber frame wood, needs to be cheap and approx 4x3cm
want to avoid B&Q and Wickes if possible, but hoping for some hints and tips for places to buy the timber from!

any ideas??
