Thanks, you're reminding me to finish lining the inside of mine!!
It was extremely satisfying when the last bit of lining went up.

Once those walls are painted it will be transformed again. Well done.

What does Mrs T know?

I left my walls unpainted as it was just a shed but for a workshop painting a light colour will give you much more effective light.

What a great looking space. Shame you have to have the bikes in there. If you have the head height I hang our bikes upside down from hooks in the ceiling that the wheels hook into. It means I have run-off space underneath them for wood coming off the tablesaw and bandsaw etic. Downside is that I am the only one that get the bikes out as no one else is tall enough to handle them easily!

You MUST paint the walls. It will make a helluva difference to the light.

A couple of pulleys would sort that out. You could buy a bike hoist but it should be a cinch to make.

Looks good. Definitely paint the walls white, makes a world of difference.

I bought 2 bike pulleys from Aldo for less than a tenner each.

Unfortunately due to the permitted development rules the head height is low.

I have something of a bike collection, and cycling is actually my first love, maybe more so than woodwork (please don't ban me from here). I absolutely don't mind sharing the space with bikes, apart from getting them dusty. Mrs Tim was not happy with the ideas of bikes in the bedroom though.

Any thoughts on waterproof flooring? Lino, rubber(?), Paint?

To be honest mate so long as you're not planning on washing the bikes in there then the bare OSB should be more than waterproof enough for your needs. It's so filled with resin it's practically plastic!

Mike G will be able to confirm though...

Putting wet bikes in the shed where you store precious tools seems like a problem to me but your choice.

I think the first thing I'd do is find the cheapest oil based varnish, thin is with 2 parts varnish and 1 part white spirit and saturate the floor with it, push round with a cheap disposable broom and allow to go off. This should soak in to the upper surface of the chip board. Work as much in as possible into the edges and joints.
Then fit some sort of hardish impermeable sheet flooring. Rubber sheet could get caught on things and tear as could common vinyl domestic flooring.
At work we used what looked like thick vinyl on the corridor floors that was continued up the skirting a few inches and that was incredibly hard wearing and totally waterproof. This withstood foot traffic as well as equipment trolleys. So maybe look for local firms that fit industrial flooring and you might be able to get an off cut in exchange for a contribution to the tea fund. I've seen similar stuff used for the flooring in pub toilets too.

Yes that is the sort of stuff I had in mind. Once the floor has been oil based varnish sealed, you can then use a water based vinyl adhesive to bond the covering. The two should not then fight.

The cladding has arrived today. I ordered boards 200mm wide but what has turned up is 300-400mm wide so I have way more than I need.

Here is a picture. There are actually 2 piles. Not looking forward to moving it off the road, it is heavy.Image

It does smell nice and woody.

Its in my neighbors preferred parking space so I will have to crack on with moving it. It will be like how one would eat an elephant, one mouthful at a time over a few days.

I have put up the first couple of board temporary using screws. I have a couple of questions which I would be grateful for suggestions.
1. Overlap. The boards are wide 300 to 400mm. I know the common overlap would be 50mm. Is there any benefit or problems increasing the overlap to say 100mm. It makes the board look better imho. The photo shows 100mm overlap.
2. Fixings. I can buy either annular nails or galvanised round nails from Screwfix or tool station. I cannot find both annular and galvanised. Which is preferable, grippy but rusty or not grippy but rustproof?

Thanks in advance for your help.Image

The galvanised are grippy enough. If those boards decide they are going to curl, no nail on the planet is going to be grippy enough to prevent it.

Looks like a good choice.

You can bend them over on the inside of the workshop and hang tools on them. :!:
