    Biggest problem with these sheds is that they condensate in cold weather so any tools will get dripped on. I'll be sticking up 25mm(1") of polystyrene on the underside of the roof to try and prevent condensation. The panels sometimes don't link in correctly and leave a gap so I have used some blind rivets to pull them together after building. The UK weather is damp and we get a lot of rain so I have put in a damp proof sheet over the concrete the floored with OSB tongue and groove damp resistant flooring and capped that with a glued down rubber sheet use in the roofing industry. All the gaps at the bottom of the walls I have filled with a special sealant used for galvanised metal, do not used ordinary building silicone as it attacks the galvanised metal coating. To be perfectly honest I may have well bought a wooden shed without the hassle of a dripping roof

    • @thelocalgardener

    Is there an update on your clematis here? Beings that should be in bloom or past bloom by now. I have a clematis Armand die that I planted a good couple of years ago and it hasn’t done much at all. It doesn’t get great sun, but it is south facing and it gets, a decent amount of sun midday. Trying to grow it up my pergola as well. Also, I have it covered over in gravel just as you have yours. I think one big problem is I’ve allowed weeds to compete for attention and energy. Crowding out the clematis This year I have pulled all those weeds out and have cleaned it up. Hoping that maybe I’ll get some growth this year. It has stayed around 1 to 2 feet tall and has not any taller. I was hoping that by this year, it would have climbed up, the post eight or 10 feet.

    • @thelocalgardener
      @thelocalgardener 7 місяців тому

      Strange to have poor growth. Mine is running rampant and should cover a lot of the pergola this year. Mine does have a couple of weak flowers on atm but we’re mainly after the foliage. It’s not in a particularly sunny spot and spends most of the morning in the shade of a conifer. Perhaps your soil is not suitable or maybe just a weak plant

Realy gratefull for your clematis update i asked for. grate video👍👍👍

    • @thelocalgardener
      @thelocalgardener 10 місяців тому

      Thanks for checking out the video. The hardy kiwi vine, hops, and old man's beard clematis all bring something unique to the table! Hardy Kiwi Vine is a fast grower and can provide excellent coverage. It's also known for producing tasty kiwi fruits. If you're into quick results and fresh fruits, this might be your pick. They normally take over three years to fruit and the hardy one 'issai' does not need a male and female plant Hops are not only fast climbers but are also famous for their use in brewing. If you're a fan of ornamental plants with the bonus of potential homebrewing ingredients, hops could be the way to go although if left to climb into the trees then harvesting might be a problem! Old Man's Beard Clematis has a more moderate growth rate and charming flowers, the clematis is a great choice as it likes climbing through trees and hedges and is great for pollinators Considering your partial shade conditions and the forest backdrop, all three could work. Just think about what appeals to you most - rapid coverage, potential fruits, or beautiful blooms.
