My tumble down work shop has reached th end of its usefull life.
No debating or repair its 30 years old and rotten.
So I am considering a 2 by 4 construction 12 by 16 to replace it.
Here are my thoughts....
2 by 6 presure treated with 16 inch centers on the joices, floor with 3/4 inch tounge and groove on 6 piller blocks .
2 by 4 8 foot walls two walls with no door or window so I thought maybe I could cheat and use 24 inch centers.
For the other two walls ( one 12 foot one 16 both with 48 by 24 windows and a the long wall witha 36 inch door ) I will use 16 inch centers.
Outside 1/2 or what ever sheeting I can find on the cheap and same for the roof ( there I will probablty use 16 inch center because of snow load ).
Inside will be insulated and sheeted too as will the celing.
Contents, my minis and projects, tools compressor drill press welder grinder ect nothing too heavy
How does that sound?
Do I need 16 inch center walls on on such a small building?
I am not a carpenter, but every kit shed I looked at left me feeling I was wasting my money because there is just no dam wood in them these days.
All opinoins welcome
