Hi Dirtbag,

Love your shed too! What is the size & specs for your shed? Especially eave & apex height, roof pitch etc.
I,m doing mine next year & weighing up whether it's cheaper to go factory kit eg. Titan etc. or I'll custom fabricated & sheet it myself.
I may not get what I want in kit form.


At 10 degrees pitch, 3.3m eave 4.0m apex.

If you can get a kit contents list, go shopping you could probably get it infinitely cheaper. Especially if you go to 2nd hand dealers and scrappers, you can get 2nds for less than half price.

Depends if you want to wait while you shop around.

Well after 7 months fighting with council to build my garage it looks like I've pushed to far.

Apparently Dear cock gobbler and get you head out of your arrse long enough to see what is going on is offensive. I may have added some threats in the same email after finally cracking with no response from council.

I have my local member looking into the issue, solicitor and my appointed certification person.

According to the police I can now only correspond via my solicitor.

What blew my fuse finally was talking to the neighbor that has had his large shed passed in 4 weeks and no special conditions. Council wanted me to pay them $5,785 just so I can run a pipe behind me into the creek. All of 1.5 metre pipe.

Yes, I've contacted today tonight and a current affair. I also have contacted my local paper.

The shed (20m long by 7m wide by 3.6m High) along with the mezzanine floor, skylights and an internal divider (including second roller door) is sitting in the factory ready to go.

I'm absolutely devastated to say the least.

Here's my shed....wish it was bigger, but I've built a couple cars in it and still make do ! B)

It's still pretty good sized for this area at least. Gives me room to work on the car and have abit of junk jammed in all over the place, lol.. have a little metal shed in the back yard (about 11 foot by 13 foot) jammed with more spares.

I'm from Melbourne and I've never even heard of "Carlton Light". You need to upgrade that sticker to a "Carlton Draught" one.

Seriously though, nice shed. Can't wait til I have a shed! hahaha

I'm stripping the black one soon so there will only be two in there which will be better. At the moment there is a torrie and a hilux and the other two are where the hilux usually lives. The three cars in there was only ever temporary.

I'm still waiting for council. June 14 2010 was when the modification plans for the approved DA went in. i was assured 2-4 weeks tops. Looks like I will have my new shed sitting on my driveway as the shed place will no longer keep it there.

hehehehe possibly :-(

But no it won't be going brap brap fora long time - will be keeping the motor standard so the box should hold with my sympathetic driving style. The plan is that once it is up and running and reliable then I may look at making it go brap brap, depending on money and then when the box does go bang I will put a 6 speed in it - cos in 10years time when I have done all this 6 speeds will be $500 :-)

I am a new member thought I would show ome pics of my shed for a start.

This is a 9m x 7.5 m 3.2 high (I think ) high enough for hoist any way with a 2.6 m x 6m mezzanine floor, also have a 10m x 6m shed for road cars/mower ect with a 6m x 3m carport, and Its still not enough!!

Yep, plenty of work to be done.

The orange one is sold, the black/green one is rusted out but has pretty good running gear, and the white one is an LJ that was going to get the running gear from the orange one.

The plan now is to get the red one painted up and put the running gear from the black one in it. It is licensed and has a reasonable interior and not much rust as far as I can tell.

Build thread will get put up soon but I don't have a lot of spare time or $$ so it will be a long build I think.
