all I want is a shed to do my work in. is that so much to ask?How does one go about acquiring cheap land in the uk to build a shed on? ideally in an industrial area so no one will complain about power tool noise or hammering noise or smoke. I saw one unit for sale near me recently for 100k, didn't even have an outdoor yard, but you can get an entire house for that with a yard.tl;dr shed designs and locations
>>2966524>cheap land in the ukYou aren't going to find this within a few hours drive of any city.
Holy fuck. I'm looking for 10 acres in Québec and I thought prices are bad. But here's roughly 1.5 acres for 370k CAD.https://www.properstar.ca/listing/100974181
323k CAD just for the right to fish on a stretch of river.https://www.properstar.ca/listing/98788662

>>2966586you and me both. post dream sheds.
>>2966572everywhere in the UK is within a few hours drive of a city. i saw a small parcel of land sell recently for 5k in a large town. it was in a weird suburban location though, i know the neighbours would complain.so i will ask again: How does one find cheap land in the uk to build a shed on? and work on.

>>2966632>>2966733This is a pretty good analogy to US vs UK cultureIn the US best shed means overhead cranes, a 7 axis cnc and indoor parking right off the I-95 with ccfl lightning, in the UK it means a fireplace, kettle, a workbench, hand tools and a sheepskin rug to sleep on
>>2966735Which one is better though?
>>2966745Asking that question demonstrates a profound lack of understanding, no matter the topic.
>>2966750>Asking that question demonstrates a profound lack of understanding, no matter the topic.I dunno man, I'd prefer a massive shop with overhead cranes, old manual machines, not CNC, indoor parking would probably be tits. Next to the hwy can fuck right off though. Don't need a kettle, fireplace would ok at times and a pain in the ass at other times, other means of heat would be preferred. Workbench and handtools would be nice, but the sheepskin rug would have to go unless it's used primarily as a dog bed for my yellow lab... So you tell me, which one would be better?
>>2966754based except for the cnc rejection. theres too many awesome things that a cnc makes a cakewalk that would be utter assache otherwise
you need to replicate Roald Dahl's writing shedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsxTR09_iWE
>>2966754>So you tell me, which one would be better?I'd much rather the UK version. I'm not doing production work. I don't need a warehouse.
>>2966524Rent some space on a farm. It used to be cheap to buy old industrial stuff - like old mine yards but not as common now, although older worked out quarries can be relatively cheap, where the permission to quarry wasn’t tied to restoration and they are just left.
>>2966735>in the UK it means a fireplace, kettle, a workbench, hand tools and a sheepskin rug to sleep onOP here, you got me to a T hahahahamerry christmas all, i am building a shed in my yard today. it;s not really big enough and won't be very comfy, but i need something.
>>2966754afaic what you are describing is not a shed, it is a shop.also, i tell you this not as an enemy though you will see it as an attack:americans have more narcissism than anyone else. you see your way, you see what you want and you think ... that's the RIGHT way. not just YOUR way, and there's many different opinions. this is why you always say "winners" and "losers" ... what game are we playing? you make up the rules based on what you want and then call yourself the winner. peak narcissism. i don't know how to snap you out of it. maybe watch some of this guy, he is american too but he has more understanding than you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_0Q3hVuFtchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpoOf6uak-A
>>2966757nice. would do wood carving in/10>>2966780>Rent some space on a farm.how does one go about doing that? what's the best way to approach the farmer?
>>2966632i have a land like this but no money to build i've been stacking rocks myself with lime but no roads so it's not easy to carry lumber for roof etc the forest trees are protected commodity even the fallen ones
>>2966822>i've been stacking rocks myself with limefuckin chad.>but no money to buildwood's not that expensive, £1.50 per meter here for 2x3.>the forest trees are protected commodity even the fallen onesthat's fuckin shit. the opposite of what you want for a woodland really.
>>2966829you need beams nigga like 4x6 that they sell dimensionally or 1'x1' from a mill at least for the wall plates and they have to be maximum possible length too
>>2966756>except for the cnc rejection. theres too many awesome things that a cnc makes a cakewalk that would be utter assache otherwiseOk fine I'll throw a cnc plasma in the corner somewhere, but I probably won't use it much... I actually agree it does have it's place, If I'm making something I usually just want to make it, not sit down at a computer and design the damn thing. >>2966809>afaic what you are describing is not a shed, it is a shop.Exactly. I already have a decently large farm shop (75'x100') and enjoy working out of it. I also have a smaller (60'x70') shop at my house and it's mainly been used for storage because I really haven't had the time to get it all wired up and finished how I want it yet. I have way too many projects though and way too much equipment to fit it all under a roof, and it'd be kick ass if it could be under cover any time it's not in use. I have a lot of my equipment parked under 3 sided hay sheds which at least keeps most of the sun and rain off, but I have a lot more that doesn't currently fit. A giant warehouse where a person could keep all the equipment and have separate sections walled off for machining, general dirty metal fab, and wood working and parts storage would be le tits, but not really economically feasible either. >>2966809>americans have more narcissism than anyone else. you see your way, you see what you want and you think ... that's the RIGHT way. not just YOUR way, and there's many different opinions. this is why you always say "winners" and "losers" ... what game are we playing? you make up the rules based on what you want and then call yourself the winner. peak narcissism.Whoa there buddy. I never said one was right and one was wrong. I said my ideal shop would be a mix of the two. Giant building out in the middle of no-where with locked gate access and zero cell reception so no one could bother me. Yeah that sure seems like peak narcissism for sure... I just want to be left alone.
>>2966842>I just want to be left alone.sorry pal. shed and shop are different, this is the shed thread. i think you need to make the shop thread.
>>2966849>sorry pal. shed and shop are different, this is the shed thread. i think you need to make the shop thread.You see your way, you see what you want and you think ... that's the RIGHT way.
>>2966850>no uclassic american insecure narcissistic cope moment.
>>2966852That's awful closed-minded of you.
>>2966810Put an advert up in an agricultural merchants shop or go to a farm and say to whoever you see who looks like they were there “I wonder if you can help meI’m looking to rent some space to doX or do you know anyone who rents space out?”
