My summer project is to build a new shed/workshop at the bottom of my garde n. I was planning on a normal wooden shed. However, there was a burglary in our road on Saturday night so its made me think a bit more about security and may be a metal shed.
Has anyone experience of erecting and using a metal shed? It'll be used for a mixture of storage and playing with woodworking tools.
The shed will be built at the top of an old railway embankment so the first problem is the base. There is no chance of me laying a concrete base as th ere is an oak tree up there as well so I can't dig much of the soil away. I planned to raise the wooden shed slightly above the rooty uneven group usi ng Swift Plinths
Secondly how do you mount power sockets and switches and run cabling for th e power?
Finally does anyone know if they are particularly difficult to insulate? I was thinking of putting two or three inches of foam board insulation to mak e it a bit more comfortable inside.
Any experience or thoughts are welcome.
Thanks
Matt
