• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    It does! My 12 year old son tried it when I wouldn't let him have my mitrebond.

    Workshop roof design

    I agree that I don't need rafters for sheet type roofing but as I want to create a storage space in the roof I will need rafters to bolt floor joists to so a hybrid design will be needed.

    Height? To keep under 2500mm at the point where the side would meet the top surface f the roof covering to satisfy permitted development rules.

    Workshop roof design

    Thanks Mark, eaves height is something I need to be mindful of so I think (and MikeG might agree) doing a standard rafter with ridge board with ties design, then running timber across the rafters to take normal box section sheeting might be my best option. It will be initially cheaper to get a...

    Workshop roof design

    Back to the drawing board I suppose for now, the chap in the YouTube video linked above just had a huge ridge beam and an oak timber frame which I suppose give the anchoring weight for the sheet. Alternatively I revert to ridge board, rafters and insulate with an air gap and membrane. Noggins...

    This is my frame, it's not done in this photo so ignore some bits.

    Workshop roof design

    So would creating 4 trusses and using joist hangers to hang purlins between them to save lifting the whole roof height yet further work? I can then use a light weight ridge so that I can add rafters at my storage end to bolt joists to. A bit of a hybrid roof.

    Thanks Mike, as I've got the studwork up while I had helping hands available I'd now really like to get on with the roof to keep the weather out, I just can't visualise or settle on a method.

    These are the plans my son and I did, they have been updated since these but I've not got the up to date ones on my phone. There is an additional window in the gable end by the doorway and the roof was just a suggestion of how it might work.

    Workshop roof design

    Well I'm not tied to the idea of insulated panels so could probably save money by still using trapezoidal sheet and make my own insulated layer beneath, its just that they require no air gap for ventilation and have a prefinished underside. They do however create their own problems in that I...

    Yes indeed, I can see the monkey puzzles planted on top from my garden. Where and why do you know Herefordshire well?

    That's great Mike, I've based it largely on your shed plans so a 3 brick plinth on a reinforced concrete pad. I have the framing all up with studs at 410 centres for 1220 width osb internal sheathing and a doubled up wall plate so I can space any rafters where ever needed. I'll put some cad...

    Workshop roof design

    I'm building a workshop 7200 x 4800 that I intend putting an insulated sheet roof on but I'm trying to understand the roof structure I need to build. I've got a few areas of confusion- 1. I want to be able to have storage in the roof at one end so would need rafters to bolt floor joists to...
