No offence, Michael. I was little when he used to say it and didn't understand till I was building my 'shop and an old mate said the same thing.
I think it can be translated as sometimes, good enough is more than good enough.

Those are the normal heavy duty tie down straps for houses and so on. They'll be massively too long, and overkill for this little shed. My 30m sq workshop only has the thin universal banding on a roll, which is loads cheaper, and you can just snip it with tin snips, so that's what I suggest is used.

Things will really start moving now as your work goes from a 2D frame on the ground to a 3D structure.
No wonder you were having a bit of trouble shifting those lintels - I'd wrongly assumed you were using the 50 x100mm nom section ones.
