Hi,
I’ve currently got a planning permit in to build a 13m x 7.5m shed with 3m eave height. I’ve had a few different ideas of what size roller doors and placement of roller door to maximise its full potential. I want to have a workshop with mezzanine above and be able to store carpentry trailer, caravan (maybe a boat one day too. My though was to have two roller doors on the long side and 1 in the gable side as well but I’m interested in different ideas. So please help me with anything you have or know anything or pictures of your own shed. Regards Deven |

My 2 cents worth, is; You're Shed's not High enough..
Most Caravans particularly if fitted with a roof mounted Air conditioner will be higher than 3 Metres.. At the very least make the Door in the Gable end a Slider or Swing so as to get the opening higher than 3 Metres.. |

I think your shed is too small for what you want to do with it 4x3m bay = each bay may be too small/skinny with all items in there 3x4m bay = not enough bays for the toys because workshop/mezz will take up a bay the knee/eave height will/can work with the right roof pitch to create the height required for the caravan - you only need 400mm head room above DLO for a roller i do think you need to go a little bigger - perhaps 16x7.5/8 for what you want to do - 13x7.5m will be fine without the boat 2no 3.0m (w) x 2.6m (h) rollers to side wall for the open bays and a 3.0m (w) x 3.0m (h) to the gable end wall opposite the workshop/mezz?

American barn would give you the mezz and higher centre door height.

You will need at least 4m for each bay's width.

Depending on the zoning, what's 300mm between friends?
Or was it a typo: you meant 13×17.5m? ;-) To put it into Ford context you need working bays large enough to remove or hang a Mustang door on the body, or enough space to wheel a crane with a 351 past the hoist post. Max out the roof pitch, is it a portal frame, a trussed roof or cut timber? 39° (10/12) is a traditional pitch for older Australia roofs but now needs engineering rather than use of the BCA/TFC. |
