Hi! I am looking at doing the same thing! Did you manage to do this in the end? How did you work it out? Thanks!

jon123, Please don't dig up old threads. I've split yours from the original which can be found here viewtopic.php?t=108633

jon123, welcome to the forum, moderator2 forgot to tell you why you shouldn't dig up old threads, the reason is people will either join, post and go, or join, post occasionally and not come back for a few years, neither is of use to you.

All I can offer is "water is the enemy of timber" so if you are having a wooden building, make sure it has gutters, a decent roof, and drainage. I had a wooden shed, I looked after it "painted it" every few years, changed the roof felt as and when, it started to rot in a corner, (supporting) I had it demolished and a block building with tiled roof built,13 years later, it looks almost as good as the day it was built. My point being if you want it to last, get it made from blocks and and a decent roof, it is cheaper in the long run.
