Craps. +GST on that. NZ$515 per roll

So i'm getting to the stage of putting tin on a wood framed workshop in northern New Zealand. I'm wanting more than craft paper under the main shed roof as the sun here is scorching and creates an oven inside. Climate is pretty temperate so A/C is a luxury here. It was suggested by a local...

too true. I guess if they last 10 years +.. 6 sheets of clearlight over that period is not too major. Possibly covered in costs compared to having lights on any time i need to use it? Although that'll be a false statement if we have solar fitted. (waiting on energy storage price to drop...

landscaping work done by contractors.. two 20ton diggers, two 6 wheeler dumpers and a compactor. Last of the biggest tree stumps pulled with digger then top soil removed. top soil dump. We'll use this later for gardens. Site cut and levelled about 30x50m. Back filled and compacted just...

Hi Matt_i The climate in the north of NZ is subtropical and we're surrounded by ocean. No coconuts though. We can grow banana's and maybe mango if it's protected from frosts. We don't get snow, nor do we have blistering summers. It's rather temperate for most of the year. We wouldn't bother...

Love your attention to detail. It'd satisfy my perfectionism for sure! Jealous of the cruiser too. You've got me worried about the insulbreak though.. Looking to use it myself. It seems pretty pricey at nz$450 retail per roll for insulbreak80 so wanting to know it works! When you say still...

haha. sounds like you had a grapefruit tree. this one is definitely a lemon. in a good way

side views of new shed So back in october 2015, I took some snaps of the property when we first inspected it. When the decision was made to build a new shed we then had to clear a space for it. Looking down from the original garage.. those trees all gota go! We kept the little lemon tree...

Hi 1/2 Cup, not sure what you mean by install PA door? I know it as a personal access door?? Hi Oldsklrolla. Yep access has been an issue in the past, not having enough working space and too much clutter. :dunno: 3x 40ft containers has sorted the storage problem :lol: Had a ke35 SR once...

haha oh of course justanoldguy. :thumbup: (wheres the facepalm imoticon??) Timber framed, karaka green coloursteel cladding and roof, kiwi shed style with continuous roof, 15degree gable flowing into 5degree leanto. I hate cleaning gutters :p Have started a thread in gallery for more detail...

first thing for any mechanics on here.. where would you have the hoist? I'll likely have cars positioned down the sides leaving an accessway down the centre to hoist. Problem encountered was then access into the dirty room impeded with the hoist in use. so looking to widen doorway (red X)...

The dream shed. Within a budget. :rocker: I'm a toolmaker in the plastics injection industry doing CAD/CAM. Had opportunity to purchase land with family.. pool the expenses, share the loot. 3 hectares of an old orchard left to go bush. Had an existing 21x12m packing house which will be...

geez that token expiry thing is annoying. Im used to copying posts before posting. lucky habit :) Is there any way to change it? It timed out posting this lol. and refreshing the page doesnt 'reload' it.

G'day all. im in rural franklin (counties), just south of auckland. Not too keen posting exact location online for obvious reasons. This shed is for metal. plan to restore some old toyotas, build some engines and fix the clapped out machinery my family tend to dump on me. The shed will have...

Hi I'm Mark, a toolmaker and car enthusiast from New Zealand. I've bought some land and started a new shed build, as big as could be afforded for the ever expanding project collection (20x16m footprint). A friend suggested to come drool over this site and he was right! Lots of reading to do...
