I started off considering purchasing a ready to go framework but, the price tag of around £1K to me was a big chunk of money just to get started. For most DIY enthusiasts the frame structure is the greatest challenge. The method I have used is simple and well within the capability of anyone with average skills. The manual will show that the method I used is easy to follow and effective. It has 24 pages of easy to follow steps and lots of actual photos of each building stage.
Everything is covered…
• Setting up bench for making frame (No cost here as two of the 8x4ft (2400 x 1200mm) sheets purchased for the floor and a few wooden pallets are all that is required)
• Cutting 3” (75mm) wide strips of ¼ inch (6mm) ply for making frame
• Setting up frame shape on bench
• Gluing each frame section
• Adding frame for window and door in two of the frame sections
• Setting up frame structure on site
• Felting
• Timber cladding outside
• T&G cladding inside
