Scaffold Board Shed - Shed build
pricklysauce.com
Pricklysauce's latest garden room, this time a makerspace for clients who wanted a space at the end of the garden for being creative with pottery and woodwork.
An existing shed existed and permission was given for a similar sized room under permitted development.
The design was led by the makerspace use and the fact that all of the materials had to go through the house as there was no other access.
Scaffolding is a fantastic system that I am exploring more with and the scaffold board seemed an ideal material for the structure of the building being robust and utilitarian, work like.
Comes in convenient lengths and easily maneuvered through a house.
The boards were used to make the frames of the room with bolted joints that were easily put together on site.
The frames were then clad with structural ply as a complementary material.
Scaffold boards were fixed as a roof sarking flying out at the end to give a generous overhang, providing solar shading and rain shading for the external bench beneath.
The bench is a place to rest after a hard day at work with maybe a barbecue and a cold beer.
The end glazed wall again framed with scaffold boards giving an amazing glazed wall for the display of the makers art.
Strip windows to the front following the linear line of the end glazed wall and at eye height when sat at a potters wheel.
Double glazed doors at the front for a generous opening and for more light.
Externally the front clad with a rainscreen of more scaffold boards with a shelf design for the clients to use for bringing on seedlings and small plants. In the summer the front of the shed should be a riot of colour.
The hidden side, rear walls and roof clad with black corrugated tin, fitting in well with the rough sawn timber.
The internal floor finished with more scaffold boards with a coating of floor varnish, reflecting the ceiling above.
The internal of the Scaffold Board Shed is all about shelving, the timber frames are pre-drilled for dowels of metal rods to hold loose fit scaffold board shelves making the internal walls into a massive adjustable shelving unit.
You can never have too much storage in a makerspace!
And for the long lengths of timber, metal + plastic there is a hidden storage space between the back wall and the wiggly tin for dry storage.
Sketchup was used for the initial modelling with my own 'Sketchup Rob' who followed the build right through to completion.
The music 'Enviable Road' for this video was created by Jukedeck a really interesting concept of music composed by algorithm. It is a little like a lucky dip, you never know what you are going to get!
