2 odd years procrastination and several plans and drawings later. I finally settled on plans to convert a 3.0m x 4.0m garden shed (which had been my garden shed since 1996) into my very own roll off roof obs.

The plan was basic enough, I already had all the concrete down, a steel pier in half a metre of concrete with reo etc. Then frame the walls, add some timber rails towards the house and then fit aluminium roller tracks to the rails for the mofified roller door wheels.

I sourced all the timber and fittings through Bunnings, and the roller track from a company "Cowdory" with I think they were Triumph wheels that could each carry about 68 kilos and fitted 3 to each side of the roof.

I was happily surprised with the cost of ordering 4.5m lengths of the rails, but the wheels were pretty pricey! All the framing was 90 x 45 treated pine and 90 x 90 posts to hold the rails up.

I also made some adjustable height post supports, I got the idea from the sky shed site, I got the 1/4 inch threaded rod from Bunnings for about $25 and $30 dollars to a local steel fabricator got the top and bottom plates.

I will update over the next couple of days as I've been spending most of today getting in the obs, so now going to bed.....It really does get finished.......
