Can you help Sheddie Danny figure out how many screws to build his shed?

New user Danny on our shed forum just asked this.

I am building a 1.8m x 2.4m shed on a concrete base. I am using a timber frame made from 100mm x 50mm at 500mm centres. I am using shiplap timber which is 12mm thick and 125mm width and was wondering how many screws should I use when attaching the shiplap to the timbers. Should i also have a timber gravel board around the bottom of the shed, so its eaiser to replace if the bottom board rots .My base is sitting about 80mm above the ground and Ill have guttering to take the water away. thanks in advance

If you can help him then post a comment here or on the forum.

Shedtalk forum is back

Well it’s slightly different but it’s integrated with this shedblog.

You can view it here

what it’s about

1) To provide a place for sheddies to add more info about their shed builds

2) To add extended comments to this shedblog

3) other things once I have thought of them

You have to become a member of this blog to post

but bear with me as it needs more testing (update the email is flaky but waiting on a fix)

I will try and recover some of the older better posts from the old shedforum as they were very useful.
