Building a Stratco Shed

[Fu Manchu]

This is bound to help someone. Old mate here builds a Stratco shed with cryptic instructions. He shares how he did it all. Good walkthrough for anyone about to build their shed.

Mine was from Olympic Industries (one of the big players in SA)

They just delivered the steel and sheets when I was at work and that was it, no instuctions at all and no labels on each piece to say what went where. Was not pleased for the 10k purchase price.

My old man helped and even as a qualified builder we spent 5 days swearing and nearly giving up to get the thing together.

It shouldn’t happen should it.

Yep, to be honest it was such a bad experience I'll never do one again.

I'll just pay someone, and I HATE paying people to do things for me.

Watching his experiences, you see where installers would cut corners. Like getting his walls square and the bits of trim finished nice. Taking the extra effort to get the trims with the bit of overhang. That wouldn’t get done as accurately as he did it. They’d just smash it together, looks done, get paid and go home.

I like that he got things right.

Yeah, it takes a long time to get everything perfectly square, I reckon we spent 2 days on that.
