CLADDING THE NEW WORKSHOP - Cedar and Douglas Fir

[@darren-garden]

You are a life saver (and money). Your garden building is the exact same size as the one I am building. I haven't poured the slab yet. I have been pondering how to build my building. I am going with a stud wall construction, but the rest is exactly what I will be doing. Half the price of what I was going to do. No roof trusses, and so much quicker and easier to build. Thank you. :-)

[@cjhification]

I’d have been happy with the steel box, but the clad steel box with timber frame internally, looks beautiful.

[@marcinpiecuch6992]

It's Looking Better and Better every day! I've built a 7m x 5m garage over a year ago using those isolated boards/panels and it's great. Keeps me nice and warm in winter and cool in summer, not even mentioning the sound proofing the place. Great stuff and great work mate... Can't wait what you will do inside. All the Best

[@TheBbouge]

Really enjoying the channel & content. I’m a passionate DIYer, building skills and a tool collection slowly. Your builds really inspire me, so thank you.

[@neilw4881]

Fantastic result!!! 10 out of 10 for having the courage to think outside the box and then put your money where your mouth is. A great result and you’ll be nice and warm in the winter too! 👍👍👍 I’ve recently attached a few hardwood door frames to a green oak building . Instead of using screws I used 8mm s/steel dowels approx 100mm long. Drilled a 7.5mm hole into the green oak & 8mm hole into the frame. Tapped them in with a hammer creating a nice friction fit, then plugged them as you would a screw. Idea being, as the green oak shrinks it tightens up even more on the dowel and pulls it (like a piston) out of the door frame by just a few mm. I also used expanding foam tape between the frame and the green oak. The result for me has been solid and one of the frames has 4 opening doors on it. I can send you some photo’s if you would like to see the result, just let me know where to send them. All the best and keep up the good work.

Looking awesome Tim. As you know the shrinkage longitudinally is really small compared to across the grain. Clever idea with the bays rather than long runs of cladding. Andy UK

[@felixcat9318]

That's just beautiful! I'd be happy to call that my cabin and live there, renting out the house! I really like and respect your very high standards of workmanship, a real joy to see.

[@ashtondrake3407]

Hey Man, just a quick tip I use. It may be worth setting up your battery chargers in a fearly dust free environment, as it the the fan cooled chargers suck in the air and the dust can cause the fan to get unnecessarily dirty. Just thought it might be worth you knowing.

[@garethheathcote4988]

It's looking great mate and you definitely make the right choice by creating bays by running them up to your timing frame uprights. It's going to be one fancy but functional workshop! 👍😃

[@T8RTU]

I’m suffering from shed envy... great job Tim, simply awesome 😎 👍✅

[@awilbadoo]

that looks great im renovating my trawler into a houseboat and the satisfaction of seeing something come together is very inspireing nice job

[@delawarecop]

I built an entire home out of similar Cold Room around 9 years ago. Didn't use anything to line inside, nor to clad on the outside and even in the Australian harsh tropical climate they are still like new panels. Also used off-cuts as walls for raised garden bed, placed directly into the ground without any protection from the elements and those garden beds are still solid as a rock to this very day. So personally, I see cladding as a purely aesthetic addition which is both expensive and unnecessary.

[@richpmanser1981]

Lol I'm struggling just building 9sqm decking and a sleeper wall let alone something like this! I'm useless when it comes to DIY 😦 Amazing to see your builds. Came across them when looking for tips

[@dapuru1]

Thank you so much! Answered a lot of my questions. Awesome. 😊

[@OurHomeProjects]

Really love the cladding. Thinking of doing something simple like this on the back of my garden room (rest is diy shousugiban) rather than the metal sheeting I was thinking of purchasing. Thanks for the inspiration! Karen

[@The_Silversurfer]

Looking to this and in my option your solution is the best I’ve seen. Great project, thank you for sharing.

[@mikeohandley6765]

Because of its tendency to shrink, we blind-nail cladding like that here. Also, I use a handheld jig instead of measuring and marking for every piece. It saves a lot of time.

[@markhep]

Looks bloody good that does now mate 👍👍👌👌👌

[@wingtsang2158]

Inspirational and it's coming together a treat

[@robertvanderzaan9681]

Thank god for the cladding. I was really getting worried...

[@sygad1]

Will be really interested in the electrics, how you supply it from the main consumer unit and if you're putting a consumer unit in the workshop

[@fishbiscuit2000]

Yeah nice. One thing I always do on cladding like this is staple a strip of 150mm wide DPC downover the battens behind the ends of the cladding where it butts up to the douglas boards. That way if any rain does get in the joint between the cladding and the boards it will run harmlessly down and out the bottom without doing any damage. Maybe belt and braces but for the sake of what? £4 a roll and a handfull of staples it seems to make sense.

[@gaz740]

That looks really nice. Well done.

[@pyrrhical3423]

Someone’s been watching robin clevett!! Looks great Tim

[@alanrobins]

It looks brilliant Little question the top board did you cut it so it went right up against the top skin of the roofing sheet (to protect the insulation from attack by insects birds etc)?

[@chrishart1948]

I wondered about this too?

[@Workshop-of-Allsorts]

Super job, really strong and looks good 👍 another great project that we all followed 👌

[@danb5253]

Great job. How have you cladded the back wall that's right next to the fence/building? I have a project that will be only 200mm from the fence and I'm unsure what to do there.

[@davidroberts7490]

Really interesting videos !! You made a really nice job of the cladding. If I wanted to do a more basic job, would it be possible to fix some sort of cladding directly on to the panels. I have seen some builds use a nice red or even black corrugated panel. Thanks 👍

[@chrishart1948]

Loving the help I have got from your channel. How did you fix the fascia to the ends of the panels. Cheers Chris

[@dannychiguina3962]

[@chrispayne1029]

[@robertbamford8266]

Fits in nicely. I may have missed it, but do you screen the bottom and top of the run behind the cladding? Thanks for the video.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Yes, grill vent strips to go along. 👍

[@tylerpestell]

Looks super nice... kinda want to make a tiny home like that

[@marknadin770]

Great video Tim not on the same scale as your workshop but built a couple of those saw horses so handy👍👍🍺🍺

[@stevesamoffgridsmallholdin5378]

Excellent job as usual nice finish 🙂

[@cswrighty]

I'm planning on building a garden room using SIP panels. When cladding, should I be using battens to attach the boards too, or is it ok to just attach the cladding directly to the OSB boards of the SIP panels? I am going to use a breathable membrane to wrap the building before the cladding. Appreciate any advice.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Lots of info around for that so you should find design diagrams online, usually membrane, batten, cladding I think. Some will counter batten if needed too.

[@cswrighty]

@@TheRestorationCouple thanks. I’ll see if I can find anything. 👍🏼

Hi, I like the addition of the extra vertical timber to brake up the shed cladding affect, it surprised me but it works. Where did you get the cladding? Thanks for sharing

[@TheGingerPondkeeper]

I like when you say "for a bit of added strength" - not building things strong enough is not something I associate with your projects, especially this one!

[@neils-running-journey]

What pencil do you use it looks different like a mechanical one?

[@garethheathcote4988]

They are a dry pencil made by the company 'pica' and they are fantastic you should definitely get yourself one if you ever do any woodworking!

[@XxBlueSkiesx]

Hello mate. What are you doing with the back edge that butts up to the fence? Did you leave a big enough gap for battens and feather edge? I made a boo boo on my shed and put it too close to my fence so I can’t get battens in there now. Also you didn’t mention where you got the feather edge from, you mentioned what it was etc. I’m only about an hour from you (south-west of you) so wondered if you got it from down here. Cheers 👍

[@insanebilly]

Yes, would be interested to hear where you got the boards from.

Charltons Timber for the cladding. It just featheredge hence why cheaper.

[@divuk83]

I'm impressed that you didn't cave in and replace the evolution saw! If this job wasn't a excuse to do it then I don't know what is.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

I’ll hold out until the workshop is built. Did you see the smoke from the cuts?! 😂

[@stephenkayll5241]

Nice to see the cladding, do you know the final cost yet?, I have an old asbestos garage about 60 years old and needs replacing. I'm thinking a slightly different approach. Build separate frames, insulate, and clad, then move into position and frame up/fix to the slab. I have designed apartment buildings using this cladding and are familiar with the speed of getting a wall insulated, plus its very light(before the timber cladding) I would then paint the cladding black using BEDEC paint. The reason for my approach is simple, working between tow existing neighbours garages so access is none existent!

[@TheHairyKarl]

Dunno if you’ve said before, but how are you finding the ox levels? Good? Or better spend a bit more and go Stabila?

[@ptremble9477]

Workshop looks ace Tim, looks like your mitre saw might need a new blade - I can recommend Saxon blades from Amazon, dead cheap and seem to cut much nicer for longer than the multi purpose Evo blades (who cuts through nails anyway!?)👍🏻

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Ah... you spotted the smoke! 😂 New saw is the first addition going in the workshop. That old evolution saw is pretty much dead tbh, just used for cutting steel now hence the blade. 😬

why nail lower down when u can nail higher so you can hide it when u overlap

[@hardylioness]

Because the nail on the board has to be as tight to the top lip of the board underneath as possible to stop it from curling out/moving. The nail in the board on top should never go through the board underneath.

What a damn shame I thought when I came to watch this video. You made such a cracking job of the timber then covered it up on the outside, what were you thinking? It would of looked so amazing if you'd stuck with tradition and filled the beams with the insulating panel instead of covering them up. You have your reasons and you still made a great job of it but as a young man I worked a few years restoring timber frame houses and still have a soft spot for them.....

With this new layer, I do not see any advantage of polyurethane with rigid encapsulation (roof apart), the most efficient insulation (eg Fridge) with the thinnest layer. Also the most polluting insulation material, here we get thicker walls that with rock wool (fire resistant) and easier to modify. Inside again a layer to hang the tools ?

it obviously looks better but isn't really worth using the panels
