Hi Mike and Ian,


I just purchased the Skyshed plans as well and been going through them these past couple of days. I must admit, the plans could be better. They've been selling them for such a long time, it would have been a small effort to convert them to metric and help provide better descriptions of the materials.


I'd really appreciate if anyone can share with me any information in regards to sourcing the materials for this project. I'm comfortable building things, but first time round for something this "big".


I'm looking at building either the 3mX2.4m (10x8 feet) or 2.4mX1.8m(8x6 feet) shed.


I'm hoping Bunnings will stock most of the material, but something tells me I'm going to have to start shopping around at other timber places. Not sure if I they'll be able to decipher the exactly type of wood required for each of the phases.


e.g I fine the below to be quite confusing:


2 PINE 000.750x005.500x096.000 "PINE 1"" x 6"" NOM x 8'"
2 PINE 001.000x010.000x006.000 "PINE 1"" x 10"" ACTUAL x 6"""


Many thanks,
Chris,
