Thanks for this . I'm about to do similar with a tin shed but a few differences. I have a huge 4 meter square slab of concrete (10 tonnes !! ) which will be the base it and the pier sit on but I am building a floating platform above it for a couple of reasons.
1. The 'Sewer Pipe Pier' will be bolted down to the slab and this way I can get some isolation from it. Also the pier will be quite tall and I will be able to reach the scope easier
2. The platform will also keep all the equipment above the inevitable water that wil flow during rain etc and will have several damp barriers plus allow airflow beneath.
3. I plan to use a flat roofed shed and swivel the roof sideways resting in across the last 700 mm and keep the PCs etc under cover from most dew etc.
Good advice on the corner angle bracing. I figured it woould be critical, those sheds are not particularly robust structurally. I'll also have some 2x3 timber bracing along roof lines where your hinges attach just to keep it straight.
Just shows you, you dont have to spend a fortune to get it done.
I'll post some pix when I get some construction seriously started.
