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 Market Bosworth

Garden sheds are an essential aspect of any functional garden space. They can provide storage for bulky garden tools, as well as for other equipment. A large garden shed could even provide enough space for plant potting or a general workshop. Additionally, a large shed could be used as an indoor sitting area. Garden sheds come in an enormous array of sizes and can be specified to your precise needs, giving you total control over the amount and position of windows, type, size and location of door, and style of roof. Garden sheds generally are available in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the typical design and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, especially if the wood used for the shed is matched to surrounding fences. Wooden sheds are still extremely popular, although they will require maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to preserve the life of the shed. Garden sheds are also made of metal, which is very tough and therefore ideal for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds additionally require minimal maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is much more resilient than might be expected. When contemplating a garden shed, it's vital to make sure that you select one which will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds will need to be placed on a flat area, and will need a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be made from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating timber base, but will have to be the right size for your shed and capable of supporting the weight of your shed when loaded.

Remains of a Roman suite have been found on the east side of Barton Road. Bosworth as an Anglo-Saxon village dates from the 8th century. Prior To the Norman Conquest of 1066, there were two manors at Bosworth one coming from an Anglo-Saxon knight named Fernot, as well as some sokemen. Complying with the Norman conquest, as videotaped in the Domesday Book of 1086, both the Anglo-Saxon manors and the town belonged to the lands granted by William the Conqueror to the Matter of Meulan from Normandy, Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester. Subsequently, the village passed by marriage dowry to the English branch of the French House of Harcourt. King Edward I gave an imperial charter to Sir William Harcourt allowing a market to be held every Wednesday. The town took the name Market Bosworth from 12 May 1285, as well as on now became a "community" by typical meaning. The two earliest buildings in Bosworth, St. Peter's Church and also the Red Lion bar, were developed throughout the 14th century. The Battle of Bosworth occurred to south of the town in 1485 as the final battle in the Wars of the Roses in between your home of Lancaster as well as your house of York, which led to the death of King Richard III. Adhering to the discovery of the remains of Richard III in Leicester during 2012, on Sunday 22 March 2015 the king's funeral cortège passed through the community on its way to Leicester Cathedral for his reburial. This occasion is currently memorialized with a floor plaque before the war memorial in the town square.
