I wear multiple Jumpers!

[@puddinggeek4623]

An excellent video. With some really good money saving tips. I am planning to build my own shed soon, this will be useful. Thanks.

Well done Phil

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thank you.

[@backyardstudioslondon1275]

Love the work Phill especially more so that you have gone to the trouble of recycling!

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thank you I always like to use salvaged materials where I can I find it more satisfying. 👍🏻

[@DeneF]

Most excellent. If I had the ability, I wouldn't have the patience. Is getting power from the home Phil? Great video. Many thanks.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks Dene it was the first time I built a shed so it took a good while researching before I started building it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@typhoontim125]

Fantastic job Phil. Really interesting to see how it all came together..looks amazing......And great use of recycled materials...great for the planet and your pocket. Well done!

Quick question, at 7:43 you mention putting aluminium bubble insulation throughout the interior walls and roof. Does that not defeat the breathability of the exterior wrap?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I see what you mean although that all depends on how else the room is ventilated. I wanted breathability between the bubble wrap and breathable wrap so that moisture does not build up between them. This helps to stop moisture getting in. To let any moisture out of the main room, I use a trickle vent on the window. This works well and the shed is bone dry with no mould issues to date.

[@frankslittleworkshop]

😁 Nice job Phill. Love the pallet floor. Such a cost saver. I have trouble finding lots of pallets that are the same, so I end up with odd thickness boards 🤨. Keep up the great videos mate 😁👍

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Cheers Frank back then I must have collected dozens of pallets because I also made the garden fence with pallets which required a lot! I don't seem to be able to find pallets so easily these days maybe because of the price of wood now. Your Shed is looking great by the way 👍

[@frankslittleworkshop]

@@PhillWyattProjects 😁 Yes, I remember the fence build. I think you are right. The price of wood has made it harder to get pallets. Everyone has realised that it can be useful wood. Hopefully I will make a start on the inside of my shed soon, I need to get it finished very soon 😁👍

[@PhillWyattProjects]

@@frankslittleworkshop Yea Frank the weather has really started to turn winter is coming 🥶 looking forward to seeing your shed finished 👍🏻

[@jeffharvey6288]

Hiya Phil, just subscribed to your channel. Love the shed build..😊👍

[@PhillWyattProjects]

You you 👍🏻 glad you like it 😀

[@Bullwinkl360]

How well did the insulation work out?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

It works well I think.

[@jpian0923]

Cool

[@mikeb1417]

New workshop tour 2024 ? 🤞

[@PhillWyattProjects]

@@mikeb1417 yes that is on my to-do list. Should be coming soon 🤞🏻

[@sargiel111]

Awesome job mate! What was the foundation under it? Just gravel? Or concrete?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks! It's just gravel under the slabs.

[@Karan-Singh999]

Hi mate great video. Could I ask how much this set you back ? I know it was a while back but would be great to know

[@PhillWyattProjects]

It was under 1k around £850 about 3 years ago. I tried to be as frugal as possible with it. Back then, the 2 x 3's that the frame is made out of only cost £2 each. They are probably double that price today.

[@garethwatson7999]

This is almost identical to a workshop I’m buying, 16 x 8 shiplap workshop for around £1600 or an 18 x 8 for around £1750 but that’s just the timber framed shed, no insulation or DPM or WP membrane or anything so I’ll have to buy those on top. This is the issue I’m having, do I buy the main building as a kit and take out any guess work as I’ve already got a solid base, then insulate and line out the interior myself when doing the electrical work etc. would I save much or anything by buying all the 3 x 2 timber and cladding and then building my own shed? I don’t think I will. With a kit everything comes cut ready to build and then I can add the waterproofing and sealant etc as I build it. This is a great video and it’s really helped give new the push I needed to build a bigger workshop this spring, so thanks for that! 👍🙌

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Thanks 👍🏻 I understand what you mean I was in the same position. The main reason I built the shed rather than buying one was that I have no back access to the garden. If you have an interest in building your own shed, you might not save money although you will most likely end up with a better quality shed for a similar price. It's also more satisfying to build it and you can customise everything. I wouldn't worry about insulation until autumn comes that can be sorted out later on.

[@johnfoster2570]

How easy is it to replace a fixed window with an opening window?

[@PhillWyattProjects]

It's quite straight forward I would say.

[@s1dew1nd3r4]

Would you not have been better adding the DPM UNDER the timber floor framework? as the timber will rot underneath the building gradually from being wet/damp etc.

[@PhillWyattProjects]

This was a consideration. Although, that way there would be no ventilation for the wooden frame to breath. I decided to put it on top which has worked well. It doesn't let any draughts in. The timber frame is raised up on slabs and has airflow underneath so I don't see why it would rot as its always dry under there anyway. It's been up over 3 years now and all is well with the floor.

[@2logj]

Super duper project.I have a similar project.How to get old double glazed doors ? I am planning to have the outer and inner shell lined by OSB or Sterling board and the roof with polycarbonate roof material for allowing light. Between two layers of OSB I will line with insulating materials. I want to keep the coat of materials to £1000 and labour cost £1000 What was the cost of your project?

[@yogibear4483]

How much noise reduction does it give? I'm building a workshop myself this year and just wondering how loud would it be outside to work with power tools (my neighbours are not the best 😂)

[@PhillWyattProjects]

I am not sure I can't say that I have measured the noise from the outside. If you need to soundproof then I would suggest putting some sound insulation slabs in-between the studs including the ceiling.

[@yogibear4483]

@@PhillWyattProjects would you be able to measure the noise of whatever a power tool even with a app on your phone please? I'm really interested in the difference between outside and inside noise. PS I have to say that you're a great inspiration to the community of DIY/woodworkers

[@michaelfitton4645]

Very nice Phil, I'd guess this cost less than £1k? I'm going to build one based on this in the summer. Just hope our Irish weather lets me. Do you know your build cost??

[@PhillWyattProjects]

Cheers Michael 👍🏻 yea it cost around £850 about 3 years ago. I made a video about the costs on my channel. 👍🏻
