Fabricating your own sheds / CE marking

[Bruce Almighty]

We have made a few steel frame buildings in the past, medium sized (100' X 50' & 80' X 60')
For ourselves, not commercially.

If we make more in future, is it possible to get them CE marked & how would we go about it. We rent a workshop to a steel fabricator who assists & lets us use his bandsaws etc, so no bodging, they are well made sheds.

Thanks

You can make your own without them being ce marked

Think CE accreditation pertains to the design and manufacturing process as a whole, rather than getting frames "stamped" on an individual basis.

Thanks for replies
It looks like I'm worrying for nothing.
We have no plans to make sheds for anyone else, just ourselves

CE marking makes cross compliance and farm inspection look simple according to an engineering friend of mine, don't go there.

You will be fine to fabricate for yourself, but to cover yourself get your frames designed by a structural engineer and keep the calcs on record. £500 well spent, especially if you ever need to make an insurance claim.

Is that £500 just for the calcs or do you do full fabrication drawings as well ?

Do shed builders / fabricator give you a ce certificate?
Do insurance companies ask for it?

Depends on the building, we do both, I was just giving a ballpark figure.
Thanks
