Are you talking about the barn still ?

I see you needed a lot of help getting it up but the finished item should look great.
So what are you going to put in it?

Of course

  Looks the business 

Although I have a shed, I still get shed envy when I see big, empty sheds that other folk have  I have to share mine with my dad and his hoarding tendencies   

Looking forward to seeing photo's once it's finished.

Looks very good, your sheep will love it.

It is huge and there's going to be a covered yard too! We spent years lambing outside in all weathers and last year we had a polytunnel to lamb in that was luxury. this year we've got a sheep hotel!! though hubby is threatening to put cows in it   he says they pay more.
The planning took ages and at one point, we never thought it would get built. We've almost bankrupted ourselves doing it, but the land will be worth so much more when it's up and running and then hopefully it will start paying us back a bit.
Perhaps we can stop living off bread and cheese then

It looks really superb Feldar - I can just dream at the moment - your going to have a great time lambing in there

i posted a few questions last night about your shed the administrators in their wisdom pulled it giving the reason that it appeared like robert posting on my account. if you go to the top of the page it clearly states here to help you. i am bewildered that pulling a post with per tinante questions is helping either you or anyone else that is intending constructing a shed. it is all good and well dan requesting only good comments but how is this going to assist either yourself or anyone else that could be getting ripped off or as another poster posted getting pumped. incidentally that comment was never removed anyway once again i am going to ask a few questions. is it a shed erector that is doing the shed and with fixing the roof sheets are they pre drilling the holes for the roofing screws or are they just bashing them through the sheets. if this post is left on your thread and once you have answered the 2 questions i will come back and explain in more detail why i am being persistant in trying to assist both yourself and others that may get a shed erected.

[bloomer]

why not just explain the difference anyway.

[Womble]

Wow!  Now I've got shed envy too! 
 

are they just bashing them through the sheets.

Yes, do tell. When I did our woodshed, I bashed a very small dent with a centrepunch to make sure the screw didn't wander, then put the tek screws straight through / in with a cordless screwdriver.  The heads of the tek screws were the self-drilling type, and I thought this worked very well.

What have I missed?

lill the fixings have drill ends on so the tool drills through the sheets and when fixings tight they spin so it just pinches the bolt the profile is 005 007 and 0012 plastic coated in lengths of 1 foot to 32 foot iv just done my barn makes a good job took 3 days last week I'm naw blocking 1 end up and dry stoning the front of the blocks iv got timbers for the sides that will make a space of 100 foot by 50 i used the rope access boys to do the job they have the tools the sheets were 20 foots second hand from a power plant £12 each

I'm wondering the same  we use the curved profile steel for pig arcs and fix them with self drilling roofing bolts (the ones with the rubber seal and metal washer on them) think that's the same thing. We just drill them straight in, always on a high bit and never in a valley (cos then there's more chance of leaks  ) it has worked fine for the last few years - through lots of rain
