Many thanks

Thanks everyone
Can anyone recommend somewhere in the UK which sells decent shed kits?
Many thanks
Give Freddy Colk at Acle a bell. It's in your part of the world.
Hi,
There was a recent thread about that here, see:
cheers, Pete.
Ask us. Between us here on uk-d.i.y. I think you'll find out everything you need to know. Including things that websites wont tell you.

100x125mm for corner posts, 100x100 for top plates... makes for a very expensive (though admittedly sturdy) shed!

I'm planning to use 75x47 on mine. That should be strong enough, and has room for insulation, too.

It's worth looking at CLS. It's slightly larger and has rounded corners and the worst of the roughness taken off.....
Also, it is generally of fairly good quality and proportionally quite cheap.

CLS? Is this a particular grade of finishing, like PAR?

CLS as Andy's reply. But our old 3x2 joist / carcassing is now available "regularised", i.e. smooth and round corners for easier & safer handling.
3x2 in this format is I think 70x44mm finished. A little meatier than the CLS, and its what I'm using for my shed build (see the thread a month or so back).
Thank you
