No thats not enough you need a big X from top to bottom in the back.

A diagonal brace on each side would be best

Hey Wal, If you are using CCA treated pine it loves to eat through galvanised fixings in about 12 months.
The big green shed has specially coated fixings, they are khaki in colour.

Diagonal cross braces from top to bottom corners should steady the ship!!

Looking good mate.

Are you going to put some on the sides too?

Give the frame a little shake from all angles to see if it wobbles.

Thanks mate im going to close it in with light 50% UV reduction shade cloth
And i can swing off it so i reckon its solid enough now

Wal

So i finished the support for the shelves should be ready to use late tomorrow arvo i hope
I will be using big tent pegs to make sure it dont fly away with our crazy storms

Regards
Wal

might need star pickets looking forward to seeing it full of natures wonders

i had actually thought about star pickets but i reckon 8x long pegs should be enough.. given a degree of wind would travel through

I can't wait to srart using it

Wal

have you sat on your selves yet

no idea wrote:have you sat on your selves yet
