My new shed by PDRD

We always put them up level too.

the next one i have off you @PDRD will deffinately be having fall on it!

 

[del_boy]

Same here thought it fudged the roof sheets up. But I don't know why

it doesnt effect the roof sheets at all, im only talking 10mm - 20mm per bay at most, no one would ever tell it was falling!

Would never dream of putting a building up dead level. Even my polytunnels have a slope of 1 mtr in 40 mtrs to give natural ventilation without resorting to the expense of fans.

I have an idea that Challow cubicle houses went up on the p iss by design, and the plastisol roof sheets had the corries running horizontally so that the wet ran off the low end.

Yes they do. I re roofed on once and the corrugations run along the building.

[del_boy]

at least most of them are right then! is your last 1 by phil level? did you need an outlet both ends or do you put up with water standing in the gutter?

its level one outlet can't see in the gutter but it always rains here so they will never be empty

one of our long sheds has a fall of 220mm per 20 feet bay and 13 bays long

 

[del_boy]

Thats a fair bit of fall per bay! Any reason for so much fall? Does it cause you any problems? Bet the gutters dont hang with water in them?

I thought 50mm per bay and 15 bays was a fair fall

Are we talking about falls on the finished floor or the actual building ?

In our case its just the floor, the shed is level. Mind the bloody floor falls every which way possible so plenty to keep us on our toes

50mm in a 20' (6096mm) is fine 1 in 120 fall. The post above with 220mm a bay must be like climbing a hill to back of building

It'll be a fair slope right enough, the floor actually falls to the slatted tank in the middle so the ends are 350mm higher over the 7 bays.

 

[willie waver]

I'm confused by this conversation. every shed I've got, its the gutter that has the fall

With box gutters they can't be set out of level usually as they're built in the frame or under the roof. Where as plastic you can change the brackets to make the fall. I've never heard of a shed being built with a fall before.

 

[Fraserb]

All our sheds are build level, the ones with plastic guttering the gutter has a fall on it, the ones with the steel box guttering are set level but with 4 outlets on a 300ft run
