Nothing like a big shed and to have a CV under cover next to it is even better.
A nice safe area for if you get in the dog house mate. I only had a 6'x8' shed in the village my late wife and I were in and I spent many a night in it and believe me, it was like a dog house

Thanks Doug,
I put a bit of thought into the design, I like the drive thru aspect, last one I had to jack knife around on a three penny bit to get in.
I think when I'm on the outer with Jayne, I can sleep in the van and put a beer fridge in the shed, pool table, dart board and big screen TV...............you got me thinking now Doug.
Bob, Good idea being drive thru. And also the skylights to feed the solar panels is a good idea. Impressed. Rod.

Hmm I might have to copy that design, when we find a place to settle. I really like it, mainly because I have workshop withdrawal symptoms.

Bob, you are starting to think like me. Some would say that's a worry though.
A couple of 'small' ideas for you. Insulate and line inside that great looking shed. Fit a drop down home theatre screen one end. Home cinema projector from roof (no need for big screen tv then). A couple of home theatre lounges. That bar fridge should be full size fridge. OH! A bar is a must. Just build another shed for the tools mate.
Most importantly, DON'T TELL THE WIFE
Edit, It stands to reason, the shed will have a reverse cycle aircon fitted. Have to have some comfort.

We insulated our ceiling a long time ago with batts, there was no insulation of any kind in the roof. About a decade ago we retrofitted under the roof tiles Aircell, now Kingspan, a sh_t of a job, but we'll worth the effort. It has further stabilised temperatures a few degrees, summer & winter.
Maybe some ideas here to adapt to fastening to metal frames.
We have recently had our block of unit's garages re-roofed. This time with foil lined glasswool. It has made a huge improvement in summer & winter compared to the previously uninsulated roof. It will also stop condensation.
Acoustic batts (because they are more rigid) under floor held up with aluminium strips (didn't want to use the standard steel strips as everything rusts where we are).
Thanks Jonathan, but it's a bloody shed and it's going to stay a shed, ride-on mower, quad bike and chainsaws etc, plus power tools, compressor and 12 v tools, nothing that needs insulating or keeping cool.
The reason we chose to move to Mt Barker is because it's a very mild climate, not too hot and not too cold. Not saying that it doesn't get hot or really cold, but the average temp is very comfortable.
After moving to Mt Barker 4 months ago, finally got my shed built with a caravan carport attached.
It has a dedicated 15 amp GPO, 2 clear skylights to trickle charge the solar all day long.
The door is facing the house, up a couple of steps, so loading is straightforward from the laundry.
Cheers Bob

Could do the garage doors as well!
