Building a turf she'd out of blocks

valtra8150 · 2016-07-10 20:14:37

I'm building a turf she'd out of 6 inch block, it's a lean 2 type shed, (not on to any other shed) I'm planning on going around 10 foot at the back and maybe 2 or 3 foot higher at the front it's a 25 by 25 shed, I have the foundation in, was wondering could a man go half way up with blocks, and put in a concreete beam…

Yes it can be done, needs to be designed properly, especially for wind load, given your location.

We don't do design here:)

Is this a farm building or part of a domestic dwelling?

My dad has breeze blocks on one side for his turf shed and a small gap between the wall and upper cladding at the front to help with drying the turf out, may be worth doing.
