A garden shed is a great option to add extra storage space in your garden. Lock away your lawnmower, tools, outdoor toys and furniture so it doesn’t get weather damaged or stolen. But how do you build a shed? We’ll go through a brief guide on building a shed using a flat packed one. Plan your shed base You must have a sturdy base for your shed, otherwise the frame won’t stand properly and could stop the door from opening. Decide whether you’re going to have: A concrete base laid on hardcore Concrete slabs on sharp sand Treated wood beams on hardcore or shingle An interlocking plastic system All bases should be laid on firm, level ground as far as possible. Treat wood with preservative To help your shed last as long as possible, you should coat all the wooden parts with timber preservative before you put it together. Put the shed floor together Some will need more assembly than others, but you need to make sure that the floor panel is attached to the joists; follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct spacing. Put up the shed walls Mark the centre point of each wall on its bottom edge, then do the same for the shed floor so you can line them up together. Stand the gable end on the base and line it up. Check that it’s vertical with a spirit level – you might need someone to support the panel while you do this. Use a temporary holding batten to keep it in place. Fix a side panel to the gable end panel with countersunk screws, then add the second side panel in the same way. Don’t attach the panels to the floor until you’ve fitted your shed roof. Fit the roof If the shed comes with a support bar, put this in position before you put the roof panels in. Nail the roof panels in place, ensuring there’s a parallel and equal overlap at each end. Roll out some roofing felt from front to back, leaving a 50mm overlap at each side. Secure it with clout-headed felt tacks at 100mm intervals. Apply mastic sealant to the outside corners, then fix each corner trim with 30mm nails. Add the fascias and finials, predrilling 2mm holes to avoid splitting the wood. Nail them through the felt into the shed using 40mm nails. Add the shed windows Slide each windowsill into the tongue and groove cut out, then put the window cover strip in position, fixing it to the vertical framing. From inside the shed, put the glazing sheets into the window rebates, making sure the bottom edge of the glazing sheets sit on the outside of the sill. Fix the window beading on the top and sides with 25mm nails. Fix the walls to the floor Before you do anything, make sure you check that the centre marks on the walls line up with the marks on the shed floor. Then fix the wall panels to the floor with 50mm screws, aligning them with the joists. And that’s it! But if you’re not confident in building a shed yourself, there are plenty of professionals available who will be happy to help.

Garden Sheds in Bargoed

Garden sheds are a significant component of any useful garden space. They can provide storage for heavy garden tools, as well as for other equipment. A larger sized shed could even provide enough room for plant potting or a general workshop. Additionally, a big shed could be utilised as an indoor seating area. Garden sheds come in a large variety of sizes and can be specified to your particular requirements, giving you complete control over the amount and placement of windows, type, size and location of door, and style of roof. Garden sheds normally are available in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the classic design and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, particularly if the wood used for the shed is matched to adjoining fences. Wooden sheds are still very popular, although they will demand maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to preserve the life of the shed. Garden sheds are also constructed from metal, which is very strong and therefore ideal for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds additionally require hardly any maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is much more resilient than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it's important to ensure that you pick one that will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds should be sited on a level area, and will need a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be produced from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating wooden base, but will need to be the right size for your shed and able to support the weight of your shed when loaded.

Bargoed

Bargoed is a town in the Rhymney Valley, one of the South Wales Valleys. It is situated along the Rhymney River inside the county borough of Caerphilly, and it lies on the ancient border of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, with Bargoed originally lying inside the old county of Glamorganshire whereas Aberbargoed was in the old county of Monmouthshire. It is unsurprising, therefore, that the English meaning of the town's name is 'border'. As per the 2011 Census, the town boasts a population of about 11900. Historically a market town, Bargoed developed into a popular town soon after the establishment of a colliery in 1903. By 1921, Bargoed had a resident population of roughly 17,901; this has been steadily declining ever since then, as the overall demand for Welsh coal continued to fall. The colliery, which was the subject of a painting by L. S. Lowry, shut down during the 1980s, and its former site has been turned into a country park. The town has in recent years been undergoing a significant redevelopment program, which incorporated a bypass running through the valley with links to the town centre. The conversion of the Grade II* listed Hanbury Street Baptist chapel into a public library is one of the most recognisable features of the redevelopment, which consists of a council services helpdesk, a computer suite, a coffee lounge, plus a scaled-down chapel. The pipe organ is still positioned in its original prominent position looking over the main ground floor area, while the Erstwhile chapel gallery boasts a substantial collection of reference and other books. For all of your house improvements, make sure that you employ trustworthy pros in Bargoed to ensure you get the very best quality service.
