Hi Team.
I've had a shed installed last week, and have noticed a few of these screws sticking out down the inside of the walls and along the roof.
I'm worried about someone getting hurt if they accidentally scratch themselves or fall against the wall.
Any suggestions on what to do?
I could unscrew a few and replace them with bolts and nuts but that's not really practical.
I could angle grind / cut them off with a Dremel.
Alternatively, is there some sort of cap that I can add to cover each screw?
Thanks @Noyade. I'd love to use this as a reason to purchase a pop-rivet gun set but unfortunately I now don't have access to three sides of the shed. I suppose I could unscrew all the screws from the inside but that feels like it will be a very tiring exercise.
Hi @SyedAhmed
"I now don't have access to three sides of the shed"
Interesting.
Just a coffee thought - bolt cutters with a 'nibbling' end. Cut the sharp points off.
Cheers.
Morning @Noyade
Strange how "coffee time" lets the brain breath enough to come up with ideas I do the same and for the harder ones I throw it out to the round table of coffee members at mornos

Coffee thoughts, where the best ideas are conceived ... along with the ones in the shower. If only there was a way to combine the two ...
Thanks @Noyade, that also sounds good. Another opportunity for tool acquisition!
As a thought (more of a beer 0'clock one), for the corners you can't access the screws from. What about a flat 3mm thick flat aluminium strap using a SIKA adhesive running down the full height of the corners concealing the screw ends behind?
