fireman 11,036 Posted September 21, 2024 Report Share Posted September 21, 2024 Not sure if your going to "move it about" but mind the weight if you are going to move it about as looking at the woodwork your going to be loads heavier than what that chassis was meant to move about Wilf, i'm in the middle of a horsebox lorry conversion and although it's a lorry it's a 5 1/2 tonner so as such i've still got to be a tad careful with weight that i'm adding. Just thought i'd mention it and good luck with the build... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only time that’s getting moved is to go on the back of a lorry if she ever sells it…..the lorry will back up to the concrete and it will move about 10m I know well that original chassis isn’t upto moving it about, it’s just camouflage really so that it’s not a “permanent structure” if any nosey Parker’s come calling. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't get much help from the little man, too busy soaking up rays with his dog and shouting abuse ! Lol Looks like you’ve a revolver and intentions in that bottom pic mate 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chapignon 1 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 If you're using timber cladding, make sure to leave enough room for expansion and contraction with the seasons. I learned that the hard way when mine started warping after a year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chapignon 1 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 If you're looking for a durable and lightweight roofing option, zinc roofing sheets are worth considering. They last for decades with minimal maintenance and develop a natural patina that protects against rust. I’ve used them on a few projects, and they’re easy to work with, plus they look great. They also handle bad weather well, which is handy if you're in an exposed location. Definitely a solid choice for a small build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
