Should I build a shed of 10 x 12 from scratch?
I did most of the finish work on our house. I can be a very useful, but never I framed anything before. I'm Who can study a new project and figure out almost always, though with a lot of frustration most of the time. I need advice: 1. Is it more profitable to build one from scratch or just buy a plastic pre-built (I have the time as I am a teacher this summer)? It seems that we can find a plastic of about $ 1,100. My preliminary estimates of the cost of building one at around $ 600. This might work if you do not come close to suicide in the process of doing it alone! 2. Should I go with a treated wood or concrete foundation? Could a simple gravel usually do the trick? 3. How I can make sure that the ship not fly away in a windstorm? (Even if I get a pre-built one!) 4. We want one that is low maintenance. So what kind of roof and walls should I use? 5. How I can get enough light without electricity? If it is too difficult to include skylights?
I built a 12 x 12 zero. was not very hard and was really fun. Mine ended around $ 1100, but has a wooden floor and wooden slat walls. 1. you have to calculate the cost by itself. you really For a plastic shed? 2. I would go for a floor joist treated. 2×10 using 16 inches on center within a 2-layer perimiter 2×10 then put everything on concrete blocks to keep it off the ground and away from moisture. make sure that the blocks are level and is placed in the orners AMD at the mid-12 ', and one in the center. then use 3 / 4 "plywood for the floor. 3. a timber framed shed will be very heavy. and once that there are things in it, even more. if you then I would worry about tornadoes. 4. asphalt shingle roof will last a long time. Vinyl siding will also, another option is the siding resistant board. 5. skylights are expensive, and one point of maintenance. Solar powered shed light do they are pretty good. or some cheap windows work.
