Sounds good to me, ive just dropped the deposit on a shed but havnt figured out exactly how im going to use the space yet.

don't worry you'll find plenty of things to fill it with once its done hehehe!

I'm a bit late to the party but regarding mezzanine floors I've got the poor man's version with a couple of cheap pallet racks - bolt a couple of lengths of RHS between them and the remaining shelves fit between them. Yes, there is (most of) a car under there somewhere.



If/when I have more space available one day they can go back to being normal shelves.

So I'm looking at the container idea again for a mezzanine.

Looks like it actually work out well if I get a high cube 20' 2 pallet container. They are 300mm taller but thats not what I care for, they have a 2 pallet version of that for the aussie pallet standards which is 60mm wider inside. Its just enough room to fit an older holden like all of mine and still be able to open a door to get into the car. So what idea I had is to have one of these smack bang in the middle of the shed up against the end wall. My shed is 10.5m wide.

So I can put a now a lot shorter I beam or 100 box tube from each top front corner of the container out to the shed walls. And then run C channel purlins in parallel with the beams to the back wall.

So this does away with 1/3 of the purlins and any additional beams, does away with support posts and the purlins now becomes shorter and more standard lenghts. Plus I will have a sealed container to store one of my best cars in pristine condition.

So the result will me a mezzanine aprox 10.5m wide and 6m deep at 2.9ish m high with container parking in the center and 2 under mezzanine parking spots, 1 each side of the container. And I should be able to fit racking under there as well.

Something like this.

So looks like I'm getting roof insulation. Best of the best as my half brother is doing his and came over to measure the roof up so we can buy it in one lot and get a better price. So sould get the insulation for the roof at about 1500-1600 bucks.

Its the foam sandwiched aluminium foiled stuff. 6.5mm thick.

Sounds good. Is that a finished surface you can paint does it join up nice?

[vlad01]

its this stuff. I don't why you'd want to paint it? that would ruin its performance as it has to be reflective to stop black body radiation.

I was thinking more a sandwich panel product. I'm running that under my tin then pink bats then plaster lined and painted gues that's why my mind is on lining and painting

Edit: The blue silver foil never seen it with insulation in between it.
