Building a shop
Anzaniste:
When I built my shed it was insulated with 4" styrofoam and and tong and groove cladding on the outside. I also had the same insulation on the roof. The biggest extravagance I had was I lined out the inside with 3/4" ply which means I can fix any thing any where I want with out looking for the framework to fix to.
The shed is 4x4.5 metres and keeps warm with the minimum of heat in put, you cant beat good insulation. :clap:

Reasonably slow progress recently (at least compared to the pace we were going at to get the pour done before the end of the 'Summer'), a couple of update photos:
Does anyone know anything about garage doors? I have been given one without a frame or operating gear and am trying to work out what I need to get it mounted. I understand there are various types of operation and I need one that matches the fittings on the door itself.
Miner:
ChriX,
That's coming along nicely. Sorry can't help you with the door.
Not sure what design of roof you'll be using, But I'd really recommend NOT going with a flat roof. It's not IF it will leak, It's just when it's going to leak. You may already know that of course.

Hi,
Quick answer is yes.
If you mean roller shutter doors, then there is a channel section that runs down each side of the door, for the end of the shutter as it moves up/down. Then if it is electrically powered, there will be two limit switches one for the end of travel down and the other for the end of travel up. These are either positioned down one side of the door or may be on the revolving drum that the shutter rolls onto as it goes up. The other item is a contactor/switch to drive the motor in the direction required, this part could be all integral with the drive motor arrangement and an electronic zapper for up and down directions.
Hope this helps.
Looking good, when is the roof going on??? :D
