No I'm not, its a dry shed only

Sir Arthur Daley

Have you considered a bolt up option for your shed, you would need some machinery for erecting but you could save on labour costs by doing it yourself.

Ya something like that would do, I have the machinery to help me do it, would that mean it would come in kit form for me to assemble myself ?

Unfortunately I feel I should point out that since 1st March 2014, the position of the self builder in Ireland has become confused under S.I.9 with varying & conflicting advice from the Dept. of Environment.

Many believe that it is now illegal to self build in Ireland. Its worth reading the new building regulations to see how they affect you.

It is an offence not to comply with the regulations. All self builders, domestic & agricultural, need to tread carefully. Non compliance could add significantly to the cost of an illegal structure.

You will need to retain an "Assigned Certifier" which must be a registered Architect, Engineer or Building Surveyor. This person will supervise all your / builders work on site.

That's complete and utter nonsense.

Its a shed not a house that the OP is intending to build and consequently SI 9 does not apply.

Please quantify your statement.
Shed is over 400sq ft area, it is for lifestock.
S.I.9 is not confined to "houses".
I simply advise all self builders to to be aware of changes to the regs.

Your aggressive outburst is uncalled for.

Sir Arthur Daley

The new regs affect agri building too.

New farm buildings over one storey high or over 300 sq metres in area, extensions to existing farms buildings, and buildings not used exclusively for plant, machinery or agricultural-related materials are affected by the new rules.

I think I'll take my chances, it will be in a yard with other big sheds, if the **** hits the fan i can always plead ignorance

and you quoted this

SI 9 is not applicable to the OP's proposal.

Ignorance is never a defense so I wouldn't recommend you take this route at all. If there are "other big sheds" there in the same yard the chances are that you need planning permission so I would suggest you engage a local technician to see whats what.

But will i need planning for a bolt together shed that's only 1000 square foot, i though bolt together sheds comes under temporary farm structure ?

Some farm buildings are exempt from planning and some are not. A lot of the times the size (floor area) of other buildings in the same yard or within 100m of the yard plays a part in determining whether you need permission or not.

Have a look at this leaflet and you should be able to figure out if you need planning or not.
