  • We're planning a garden shed/deck/step situation to get down the 1.8m drop into the garden. there is already a deck (on top of the flat below's extension) and metal stairs down into the garden which we'll remove and replace with ample storage under and to the side of the stairs.

    Given the price of timber at the moment, it seems like it'll end up costing a fair bit.

    Would i be mad to use OSB as cladding and paint it with something? And any tips on where to source stair stringers? I've found some online but they're quite steep and making one out of 10/12x2 is pretty spendy.

    It absorbs water and breaks up. So yeah, I wouldn't use it outside. Painting might help but I doubt you'd get a sufficiently good seal. Likely to need replacing pretty soon.
