geon Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 In reply to Chris Fletcher-Smith BRM June2020. Howard raises many good points. I have used a portacabin very successfully. Points to bear in mind are that included in the price is a strong insulated floor. It will probably come with a consumer unit, several double sockets, lights and electric convector heaters. Apart from connecting to the power it is ready to use as soon as it is delivered. Mine came with a small sink unit and water heater. Preparation requires the provision of four good strong pads of concrete for the legs to rest on. A farm jack is a useful accessory for leveling the cabin and removing twist. If you were contemplating building a shed focus on adding a pent type pitched roof with additional insulation. You can then overcome any potential leaks. Check all outside seals and give it a coat of paint. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted May 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2020 Put a fibreglass roof on it from the outset, and it'll be spot-on. One gent I know has a 40' portakabin, and he has a rather excellent O gauge roundy-roundy layout within. I can't get it in through the side of the house, otherwise I'd copy the idea.
