Chopping 2' off Bottom of Shed? UD p33 Bought a Bike Shed!

That one is the right size, but we'd have to make a floor and some windows... I'll have to put that question to Mr DIY, I wouldn't know where to begin with something like that! :oops: Sounds complicated to me!

It's a good price and free delivery though! :)

Windows and floor are surprisingly easy to do :D Ask him, even I can manage it (with lots of fumbling and googling) :D

:lol:

I'm sure I could manage it with the help of gaffa tape! It might not look pretty, but that stuff can fix anything! :lol:

For £60 he sells a floor.

Windows are easy to do, you need some screws, u nails, battoning and mesh and a jigsaw and off you go
 
Thinking about it, we have to cut a hole in the side for a cat flap anyway, so a window shouldn't be any harder than that, should it?

£60 seems a lot for a base... Both me and my dad have lots of bits of wood lying around. What would I need for one? A 4x6 piece of wood and some batons?

I have a couple of large pieces of wood that are about 7cm thick that should do for the batons.

I've got 3 pieces of decking doing nothing at the bottom of the garden, they're 4x3, I wonder if we could use those?

It doesn't matter which side the door is on :wave:

The cheapest playhouse I've seen so far is £274.99. :(

If you know a special place that would be great! :D

:wave: I believe that all Focus stores are closing down. Anyway, when I went in my local one two days ago there was a cute 4ft by 4ft playhouse for £99.

Basically any bits of wood you have lying around can make the base :D As long as it's ventilated underneath (up on a few bricks) then it should have no problems :D!

Just had a long chat with my dad about it, and he thinks we should go with your suggestion! :) So thank you Yaretzi! :wave:

Just going to have a quick Google in case there are any new offers since you found that one, but that looks like a good price to me!

I love a new project! I'm so excited now! :D

Thanks for the tip! I'd forgotten about that! :wave:

The one near me closed years ago, but there's one near my dad's house, so I've sent him! :oops: :lol:

:lol: You should! There are just so many options and so many companies to look at, it was starting to give me a headache! I'll have to make a photo diary during construction, in case anyone else wants to buy the same one. :)

Yeah definitely :D I still have some pictures (not as many as I wanted, unfortunately) and I'm going to make a blog/website of how I did mine, the prices, etc :) Always helpful to others! :D
