Very nice, bit close to Farmhouse though.

Tidy job. What’s the price difference from doing double span to a clear span at that size?

Looks tidy but to be putting it up without nets and handrailing is just wrong. Save a few quid each time but one day someone will pay with more than just their wallet.

Fair comment but that is not my picture and was taken before any nets or rails went up. Any roof sheets on at that stage have been put on out if man basket

Looks tidy bob. Is your next job in Wiltshire? I gather your appearance is much anticipated!

I was once told it's cheaper to do with double span (10% or so I think). Roof ridge height is also lower.

Looks s grsnd job. Is it a grain store? Seems odd to have a vented ridge if it is?

The building is replacing two open straw/hay barns which were destroyed by arson in December. Customer lost a large quantity of hay and straw as well as two telehandlers and a tractor
This building has been built fully enclosed and with roller doors to prevent the same happening again
It was very lucky there was little wind on the night it happened or the beautiful house would have been in real danger

Looks a grand job but agreed to close to the house...I wouldn’t want that spoiling my view....love that round centre brick work, looks very posh!

Looking again, a single span would have been more handy too. I had assumed this was divided up the middle with concrete panels also making two barns.....but seems from the photos it's just a set of columns up the middle.

What is it with this place why can’t people just say fair play that’s a tidy job instead of the negative comments oh look no nets or it’s too close to the house

Because it is a grand job...just to close to the house imo...it’s my opinion just like you’re entitled to yours

My point is it’s not relevant to Bob he didn’t decide where the shed was going he is obv proud of the job to show it here it’s not a personal dig at you (although it reads like it) just this place in general everyone is a critic

Opinion, not criticism, original shed was destroyed by fire, had wind been in wrong direction they would have had to rebuild house as well, so yes too close to house.

Your missing my point so what If it’s too close to the house or not there’s nothing to be gained from pointing it out

Tidy.
Personally I'd happily pay 10% extra to not have a boundary wall gutter.

I despair with Forums sometimes, especially Tff, you can’t voice an opinion without someone being contentious,
