  • Just bumping my post.

    Would really appreciate any advice or guidance on best material/wood size for the underfloor bearers(?) - the long bits of wood running end to end under the shed (think they're 38mm X 47mm - ie is this suitable or was it the cheap option).

    I think I understand how to replace the rotten shiplap panels.

    Other questions I've thought of are:

    • would painting the most at risk bearer with roof paint be a good idea , or would it just lock in moisture and rot faster?
    • would cutting a 2" channel in the concrete to draw the water just end destroying the base?

    Cheers.

  • Are any bearers rotten? I'd so I'd replace with same size treated wood. Replace the rotten cladding. Put a gutter at the top of the shed wall to catch the roof rain fall off.
    I wouldn't do anything with the concrete base. I'm guessing the rot is caused by water splashing up and not from stuff sitting in water?
