Wall Panels

I am building by myself, hence a big consideration is the weight of materials and being able to construct straight and true without an extra pair of hands to hold whilst I fix.  Hence the best solution is to pre-fab the panels comprising the stud work (100mm by 47mm) to the 18mm OSB panels, with the baseplate already on the bottom.  That way you can affix the upright stud work and OSB external board on the base plate, which will then simply lift up and sit nicely on the OSB floor ready to be screwed down.

Originally I was due to leave an internal door between the garden room and shed.  I've decided to now fill this in and cut a new door
on the front of the shed.... All in good time.

 The LHS made in 2 sections

 The LHS complete

 Turning the corner (see below for 3 stud corner diagram)

 In no time the back and RHS are complete.  The back built in three sections, the RHS in 2 sections.

Covered and ready for the rain.  The first of my two top-plates are fixed to give strength.

The next step is to complete the front RHS stud wall panel (1220mm wide), and a smaller 400mm front LHS panel.  I will then be in a position to start fixing the roof rafters.

Total working time so far:  no more than three working days over a few Saturdays.

Addition of the front panel and top plate across the front.  Built in the same way as previous panels.
