Plasterboard not be a cheaper alternative? Thought about ply recently and works out to be expensive enough in comparison

Yea plasterboard, dry line and paint will be the cheapest way to do it. Easy enough to do yourself but you really need 2 people so that one can hold the boards in place. Ceiling could be done easily with 3 people- 2 people with brushes to hold the boards up and one person screwing but could be done with 2.

Well the reason I'd thought of plywood was it would be stronger for screwing things into it, but yeah for the ceiling perhaps. Never bought the stuff before

OSB on the walls at £30 for an 8x4 would be an option, actually that's for 18mm, 12mm would be cheaper and strong enough for walls.

If anyone ever offers you a £600 shed for £200 but it's already in bits.......... Just say no.
Last screw after 2 days of swearing
(Instructions only downloaded at start of day 2, thankfully all the guesses in day one and the preceding work building a base were within 1cm the right way)

If you find a good method for painting plywood and a good paint let me know as that's my next mission

Was told to use masonry paint on fences too actually.
So long as you yet s defent primer on it will be easy painted after that. Non water based probably better unless you don't mind the grain lifting a bit.

I've normally got in touch with him after a few hours, hence my worry. I was out with him about a month, agreed a price and he hasn't sent me through bank details for a deposit. The fella is snowed under!

He hasn't had a deposit off me yet either, but I have the signed docket so the price shouldn't change.
I'm still waiting on the concrete guy to come around to do the base. Seems the good weather has meant site work has been going ahead at a rate of knots and taking priority.

I'm looking for a supplier of workshop benches and units, Machine mart are great but don't want to deliver to N.Ireland due to Brexit ..................................................suprise suprise! Who sells this type of thing here?
Or else I'm thinking a good bench would do with lockers.
I need to get racking too but thats easy, B&Q do plastic racking and there are lots of metal racking suppliers here.

I bought sealyley apms ones off @lightning and can't recommend them enough. I didn't use their work top as I wanted my bench higher as I'm a lanky kinda fella.I'm looking for a supplier of workshop benches and units, Machine mart are great but don't want to deliver to N.Ireland due to Brexit ..................................................suprise suprise!
