We converted a rat infested unused garden shed into a beautiful cubby house/Cafe. The first job was to clean out all of the rat carcasses and give the interior a good clean. We cut out 2 windows and used perspex instead of glass. We insulated the walls with batts and lined them and ceilings with cement sheeting ensuring that all sharp edges were covered. We levelled out the ground by laying a cement floor then covered with lino and lining. All corners and gaps were filled with no more gaps. Surfaces were then painted and decorated. It's been a huge hit with both kids and adults.
Hi @Old-gal24,
I'd prefer if you could go with 140 x 45mm H3 timber for the bearers, as this will provide a solid foundation and ensure durability. For the floor joists, 90 x 45mm should be sufficient and will offer adequate support. For the wall frames, you can use 90 x 45mm or 70 x 45mm, depending on availability, as both sizes will work well for the structure. For the roof, you'll need beams that can span 3000mm, so 140 x 45mm would be the minimum recommendation to ensure it can handle the load and provide the necessary support. This setup should give you a sturdy and reliable shed structure.
