Final update on my shed build. Got all the shelves & benches done. Picked up this high density panelling that's 600mm wide called Metrapanel.. 650kg/m3 so bloody heavy! (they make prison walls out of it so its pretty strong lol)

Only cost me a dollar for all of it so it was a relatively cheap way of building what I wanted the way I wanted it

Had the steel sitting around from a king size bed my brother made ages ago (he works for NZ Steel so makes sense I guess lol) & used the 12mm custom wood sheets I've had for ages to line the back of the shelves & the wall too.

All I have to do now is fix down the vice & make a couple of stands out of some wheel rims I've got & steel tube for the drill press & bench grinder then I'm pretty much set up..

This is the "throw everything in the corner" end of the shed :fool: one day I'll get back into the hatch :cry: but firstly it's the HQ as I want something on the road within the year.

Still gotta hook up the 3 phase power & do the lights/power points but for now I'm happy

Cheers man, just happy to be almost done. Once I'm on top of all the shitty little jobs around the place (are they ever all done when you own a lifestyle block lol) I can make a start on the HQ, then the hatchback.

Stay tuned for a boring amateur HQ restoration thread starting soon haha..

Just a few pics of the shed/workshop. Hoists on both sides, storage and spray booth out in the back section. Upstairs is shower, toilet and lounge room.

I've got a question for the boys who have a 2 post car hoist, where's the best placement for one? An end bay or a middle bay?

All depends on the layout of your shed mate.
I've got mine near the door at front of the shed and the 4 post hoist behind it.
So drive thru/under 2 post and onto the 4 post hoist.

Finally got around to painting the floors. What a difference it makes, so much easier to wipe up a spill. Used epoxy two pack paint from Bunnings.

Ripper of a job Len,

like the yellow identification section.

In industry, we paint areas for their use,

grey for forklifts, red for machinery, yellow stripes on walkways etc.

Like button for you

It'll be 9x9x3, I was going to put it in the end bay but with the roller doors only being 2.5m wide I don't think I'll be able to. Was wondering how painful would it be to have it in the middle bay? With cars on both sides of it instead of just one side?

At 3m high you may have to go in the centre for clearance? Hoist choice can determine that too....open floor hoist or cable base etc.
It may be a bit of a pain in the centre.
In that case id place it at the back of my shed and set up work bench space etc either side and park cars behind it rather than alongside it.

I've got an old Molnar, was planning to get a shed built the way I wanted it but 1 popped up on gumtree in the same town as me. Bigger than what I was looking at and at a good price. I was going to get sliding doors but this one came with 3 roller doors. Your plan sounds good but I've got to supply my better half with a bit of storage so I'm thinking of having a floor 2m high and 2m long at the end of the shed. Effectively making it a 7x9 but I'll have a bar n shelving set up under the storage.

Most hoist are around 3.5 meters wide for a 2 post so parking next to one might be a issue if you have 3 meter bays.

Yeah mines 3.25m wide, if I was to put it .25m off the wall it'll be 3.5m but with the roller doors being 2.5m wide it'll be a pain to get to the hoist. I might just have to put it in the middle and just be careful. It won't be too bad not until I've finished a couple of cars.
