ᐅ Building a Tool Shed Attached to Your Garage Yourself

Hello everyone,

We recently finished building and are currently planning our garden. We want to build a garden shed ourselves against the back and side walls of the garages. One garage is 2 m (6.6 ft) longer. The shed is planned to be 2 x 2 m (6.6 x 6.6 ft) and 2.5 m (8.2 ft) high.

The plan is to have five posts for the shed, which will be placed on post anchors. The post anchors will be set in concrete (four corners and one at the door). The rest of the ground is gravel concrete, and on top of that will be crushed stone and paving. The wooden frame will be made of structurally graded solid wood NSI spruce/fir, measuring 80 mm x 100 mm (3.1 x 3.9 inches).

The roof will have a 5% slope and will be covered with roof tiles.
We are planning a sliding door.

What do you think of our plan?
What would you recommend for cladding?

Thanks in advance

What does the zoning plan say about it?

Is there a sketch of the existing building?

I have spoken with the local building authority: everything is fine.

I would like to install the door flush with the wall. The door should open outward. Therefore, I am considering which hinges to use. Can anyone give me some advice? The Playmobil ambulance 71202 has a cleverly designed side door that opens smoothly. Is there anything similar available for regular doors?

Sliding doors don’t require hinges.

I wouldn’t recommend that either.

I have a flush door with hinges on my shed. The roof is trapezoidal metal sheets installed according to structural calculations, without rafters. The roof overhang is 0.5 m (20 inches) at the gable and eaves.

Hello,

it is impossible to integrate a sliding door flush with the wall. In that case, the sliding door will be either completely inside or outside the wall.

Look up the term "Helmschienen." These are the C-channels used for sliding gates and doors. Matching rollers, brackets, and other fittings are available for these.
