ok i going to do this soonish now (depending on the weather)
mum thinks its a great idea that there will be no more fish stuff laying around the house) except the few essentails for my 4ft display tank
dad thinks it good but it wont fit. so i said if i can clear the space and he has enough room to store things would he be happy and he didnt react much, so i said about more money for electric etc and he said he’ll get back to me so i asked when he said end of the week (friday to me)
anyway
i have two options
1) buy a pre built shed for around £235.
2) build a shed which will cost around £120 + the shiplap which i recon will be about £70
good thing with opion 1 is
*quick to assemble
bad
*is it not very tall around 5ft 11 in the corners and about 6ft 6 in the center so after the time ive added board on the inside it wont be very big. considering im about 6ft 2ish it will be very tight (also forgot to mention a cieling light will be about 2 1/2 inches)
*joists might be thin and not able to hold the wieght
good thing option 2
*make it as tall as i like (about 6ft 2 in the corners and 7 ft in the middle)
*will know its been put together with strong/good wood (ussing thicker wood than normal sheds)
*make a double door so when i take tanks in and out it will be easier (hard to find on 7ft x 5ft sheds)
*i like to build things
bad
*will probably take about 2 days to contruct
all prices above are without insulation + wood for the inside
