Quick stats;

ROOF : 2 Sheets (Seconds), white 0.55mm Colourbond
ROOF LINER : Insulating Foam from Bunnings (Stop Condendation)

ROOF TRACK : 100m Lipped Chanel
ROOF ROLLERS : 4x Automotive bearing
ROOF FRAME : 25x25 Box tube steel

WALLS : Treated pine decking -outside, Inside AC Sheet
HEIGHT : 1.8m Floor to bottom of roof (I dont need to duck). With my electric pier I can nearly see the horizon.

FLOOR : Cement (1m cube below pier) and lino to slow dust

If you keep it simple it is not that expensive.
I have seen some sheds posted on the Yahoo group, they all seem to weak as the roof is part of its structual design. If you modify it you will need a lot of bracing to compensate. Also they are not as easy to secure.

How tall did you settle on for your wall height ?

the flat slidding roof looks pretty good.

Is that roof the same stuff I'm looking at (SPACEMAKER1000) ?

I sent off my faxes to the local Bunnings and Mitre10 to ask for quotes on materials including prefab timber wall frames this avo .
