Yea, took a while finding a lightweight roof covering that wasn't "wriggly tin" type. This stuff is about 5 or 6 times lighter than standard tiles and I have beefed up the timber structurally.

Tim I have a concrete section single garage at home and a concrete section quadruple (size of 4 singles +) at work (lockup).
I purchased the coated Tin wall sections off cuts, when they were building the new B&Q , most of them were about 2.4 - 3m so they worked a treat and I got them at scrap value ... had enough to do both garages
The only problem you will get with tin tile roof and tin section like mine is condensation. It will cling to the roof like fook.
I used the pollystyrene sheet that you put under screed floors to lag it with. Unless you are putting a ceiling and loft in yours you will definitely need something,
personally Id lag up to the tiles either way.
summat like these http://www.globepackaging.co.uk/12-x-sh ... etwork=pla
two summers ago I decided to build another smaller shed at home... This time I did it out of blockwork and put a marine ply roof on it and covered with torch felt,
also went the whole hog and put double glazed door and window in it (mis measures )and its way better (dryer) than the Tin roof.. My next one will be single brick and ply and felt roof... hindsight for ya pal

had an old 10" steel water pipe off the railway as a flue
Not efficient with wood tho, smoked tooo much.
burnt coke on it with no probs, never left it in overnight tho..
I would go with one of the new log burners if I had to do it all again ...
Laminate flooring shop/unit in worksop has one... burns all his off cuts etc etc on it ..
MOT place up Kettles yard got an open fire in corner ... I kid you not
How many boilers are fitted in garages nowdays .... gas flame enclosed behind glass door ... same difference

It gives him an extra 8" in height when repairing his Panzer.

Aj,
Cos when it's not needed, its covered up and no floor space lost. Don't try and work owt out. Thick is as thick does. Always has been ampt it.!
See previous pics Mister Gloom and Despondency. Dug down a foot. 6 inch crusher run, DPM, spacers and steel mesh, then 6 inch concrete for the floor. The pit was a little deeper for crusher run and concrete. Dry as a bone.

Sorry Tim I didnt mean owt by it, the one we dug was 7ft deep and he lived in a bit of a hollow.... yours looks fine, was just saying loike
six inch crusher run and then six inch of concrete is slightly over engineered, unless your planning to build a 6 storey building on it later on....
better too much than not enough for them heavy German panzas tho mate
Didnt mean to sound critical pal, my point was the over engineering is what made the hard work of it for you, but you got there in the end and made a fine job thats all that matters
