Thanks for asking @jowwy . I've had a busy couple of months (with work) which is why I've not updated in a while. Just managed to do enough...
As I need to keep the overall height down to 2.5m, I've gone with treated 4x3 timbers for the base frame, 4x2's for the joists. The floor will...

With the weather looking good for the next week, I've decided to take the plunge and dismantle the old rotten shed from the bottom of the garden....
