Raven Posted 20August, 2021 Report Share Posted 20August, 2021 If I end up purchasing a factory unit , I wish to use this as inspiration and create something similar... I love the Rustic service station or barn look... P-Kay, Naldz88, MFX and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stop cleaning up 👍 😅 Seriously though, I did a job last year at a blokes house and he also wanted the timber look in his garage instead of his normal steel framed one. The quote he got for shed demo and timber rebuild was ridiculous and theres no way he could afford it, so I suggested to fit timber panels to hide his existing frame. He went for that instead, and it turned out fantastic. Think they used 18mm pine and just bolted it to the frame with some decent screws to give the original look. Sadly I didn't get to be involved, but the bosses hand didn't shake when he got paid! Knew I shoulda done a cashy there 🙄 MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted 21August, 2021 Report Share Posted 21August, 2021 There are a number places in Sydney that do second hand and reclaimed timber flooring and cladding , when I did my brothers man cave we got a huge bundle of mixed sizes and lengths of recycled stuff for $500 , took a little longer to instal as we had to mix and match boards to make it all work , but he ended up with the effect he wanted and it turned out great with some old corro iron as feature wall .. He has it deck out know with pool table in middle,,, old latins , rabbit traps ,, old tins ,,cans,bottles and other old stuff from years paste , looks cool tdc911, MFX, LeeM and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 21August, 2021 Report Share Posted 21August, 2021 My shed is halfway to this style - has internal buildings that are built out of recycled materials, fence palings, old tin, old windows. I couldn't find a photo prior to putting pins in there so try to ignore them. The new shed will kick that style up a notch though. ....

Hi Jeff, I managed to source the lighting directly from the manufacturer, not from the re-seller in Qld..... The good thing is, its modular - so you can add and move if you want to. Provides good clean shadowless light. Im not a Videographer or even much of a photo guy but the quality is spot on.

Mind sharing where you sourced the LED lighting and flooring? I always thought I’d go with Swisstrax but your system looks more robust.

MFX Posted 22August, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 22August, 2021 I have a ride on so it has it's own dodgy garden shed. I realised pretty quickly that mowers take up too much floor space. So when I first built my shed, I made a long work bench built to the wall and deliberately had no shelves under it so things like the lawn mower, petrol pressure washer, etc, could live underneath on the floor.

Sold each for $495k, and the bloke next to me had to sell his old Statesmam, as it doesn't fit in the carport 😅 Onsite at a recently finished 'house' near my joint coupla weeks ago, 280sqm block. $650k and they can't fit a Toyota Kluger in the carport, so they're turning it into another room. It's bloody ridiculous 3legs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
