What flooring did you use? I am in Queensland, is anyone aware of what cyclone provisions might be required? Re: Anyone built a DIY shed? 2May 01, 2014 11:56 am I've built a small one around 2mx1m for my sister - it was straight forward but you really want two people to help hold things in place while you fix the sides together - we just mounted it to concrete path with some dynabolts.

Re: Anyone built a DIY shed? 4May 01, 2014 8:34 pm I bought my shed online and built a timber base for it then bolted the shed to the base with steel L brackets. I managed to build a 3x1.5m shed by myself. Apart from interpreting foreign language instructions, the hardest part was holding the back wall, a side wall, a tek screw, and the cordless drill all at once. No idea about wind ratings etc. sorry.
