I made a huge shed recently - the neighbours call it my 'chalet'.
Base I got a decking kit from screwfix (£377 I think - that gets you 12 sq. m of base)
walls were shiplap on 50mm sq frame - the 50mm sq was on offer at B&Q at the time.
Roof is T&G, 13mm I think, felt nailed on.
Borrowed my mate's pneumatic nail gun - godsend!

Wish I'd seen that before. The voice of experience says to just remember one of lifes truisms - "buy a cheap shed - get a cheap
shed". Building your own has got to be a much better idea than buying cheap.
You could also consider building in a steel frame whilst you're at it to provide lifting capability for engines etc.
Best of luck. Pewe

I built mine too.
Made it in sections from 3x2 with shiplap boarding. made trusses and erected it in a morning.
Base cost just under 300 quid for the concrete - I levelled the ground for the base and that was hard work.
Timber for the rest cost me around 300 quid IIRC.
I may have pics.

Keep an eye on your free ads paper, ebay, auctions advertised in back of you local paper etc for something being sold.
I got mine from a dispersal sale for a market gardener, his had burnt down peviously & the insurance put a new one up & the poor old fella
died! It was knocked down to me for £620, 36' long, 14' wide, 8' high sheeted to the ground complete with doors. A rough reckon up
at the time was that it'd cost £1300-1500 for materials new.
I'd seen a fair few others in the free ads etc for very little or "free to dismantler" but they wer'nt big enough for me
