3).—These, note, are intended to be bolted within the end frames. Thus the length is given as 5 ft. 2 ins. (not 5 ft. 6 ins.). They are put together in the same way as end frames, rails (K) tenoned or halved to posts (J). In one side provision should be made for a window (size as desired). This can be done by notching in the two uprights (L) and making a separate window frame (M) which could be hinged to the top bar. A mid rafter (or two if thought necessary) will be fitted as at N. Allow the ridge (G) to overhang about 3 ins. at each end.
Boarding.—If tongued and grooved stuff is available 3/4 in. will do. Boarding of 4 ins. or 4 1/4 ins. looks better than 6 ins. If the roof is to be covered with waterproof felting 3/4 in. will also serve here. Flooring, however, should be 7/8 in., and, whether fixed lengthwise or across, a mid joist should be fitted. It will be seen that, as the flooring rests on bottom bars (B and K), it is raised about 5 ins. from ground. The boarded door will be ledged and braced, using 7/8 in. boards and 1 1/8 in. battens.
A ground plan of 5 ft. 6 ins. by 4 ft. does not permit of much elasticity in the way of inside fittings. There should, however, be ample space for shelves. A small bench, it may be added, is exceedingly useful, and if the window were fitted at the back a bench with top about 27 ins. by 15 ins. would be possible. A height of 3 ft. is handy. If the shed is to be used for housing a-lawn mower or roller, a sloping platform for easy travel is usually provided.
