Building a Workshop: Framing and Wall Construction

TLDRIn this video, we tackle the construction of the workshop walls, focusing on the back wall first. We use pressure-treated timber for durability and precision-cut each piece for accurate assembly. The height of the walls is calculated based on building regulations, ensuring compliance. We then move on to constructing the side walls, which require an angled cut to accommodate the roof pitch. The walls are squared using OSB sheets, ensuring stability and precision. Finally, we join the walls together to create a solid structure.

Q&A

Why is pressure-treated timber used for the walls?

Pressure-treated timber is used for its durability and resistance to rot, making it ideal for exterior construction.

How is the height of the walls calculated?

The height of the walls is calculated based on building regulations, ensuring compliance with permitted development guidelines.

Why are the side walls angled?

The side walls are angled to accommodate the roof pitch, allowing water runoff and ensuring a secure and functional roof structure.

What is the purpose of using OSB sheets for squaring the walls?

OSB sheets provide stability and precision, ensuring that the walls are square and aligned correctly.

How are the walls joined together?

The walls are joined together using nails or screws, creating a solid and stable structure for the workshop.
