Don't buy pre made, get a local joiner to build one, more expensive but oh so worth it

[Spreadie]

I bought pre-made - From a local firm but I believe it was made by Albany Sheds - nothing wrong with it. Just don't go for cheap pre-made, because they suck.

15mm or thicker shiplap construction to eliminate the risk of shrinkage and board separation.

Don't believe the hype about tanalised timber or let it limit your options - it ain't what it used to be and now isn't any better than the stuff you buy at your garden store of choice and brush/spray on yourself. BTW if you aren't having it pre-treated and plan on self assembly, it's worth treating each panel beforehand.

It's usually worth the extra to get them to line it with a breathable membrane during manufacture - I bought a couple of rolls and did it myself, because I'm tight-fisted and didn't mind putting the extra hours in, but also because I needed to save money for the polystyrene, thermal sheeting and OSB I used to insulate and board it out.

Regardless of whether you are siting the shed on a concrete pad or on blocks with floor bearers (I went with blocks dug in and levelled), use DPM between the blocks/concrete and the timber it minimise damp.

I keep hearing good things about that book - gunna have to buy it at some point:

'Hurt me!' she begged, raising her skirt as she bent over the workbench. 'Very well,' I replied, 'You've got fat ankles and no dress sense.'

I got both books - they are quite funny.

If your staying put I would advise going for concrete over wood. My shed is made from concrete panels, very solid and secure. A rather large shrubbery shields it from the house, looks a bit like a bunker.

https://www.greenretreats.co.uk/ <- not cheap but WAY nicer than a 'shed' - it's what I use as my office.

You could do what colin furze did and build an underground man cave instead.

That's the real deal right there.
