Very interesting video as I'm about to start a Clarke instant garage within the next few weekends.. You show some great tips to make it stronger.. I think I will purchase a membrane for the floor. This will be used for a vintage tractor restoration so the wood floor is brilliant but not practical for the weight involved in my project. Maybe I'll settle for just some thin plywood to kneel on. Thanks for the tips 👍
New /Sub, excellent we're moving, and this is just what I need,wood floor great idea, how is the exterior covering standing up to the sun&weather now, hny
If you leave room ...... sitting out under the tent on a rainy summer evening with the flaps pinned back and a cool refreshing drink in your hand - marvellous! Great solution for a workshop, Matt, and the floor looked very easy to put together. Thanks for sharing
Hi There. Nice idea these temp garages.. 10ft is quite wide for most driveways. I noticed when you had the apprentice giving you a hand that there was some movement on the bottom of the leg sections. Wondering if it would be possible to pull those into a new build base say or 8 or 9 ft.. Any ideas Matt, help greatly appreciated. J..
I feel your pain with the price of sheet goods. I would think the floor will do 'for now' but 12mm board over 600mm joist centres will inevitably have some sag over time especially as it's outside with fluctuating humidity levels. Here is to hoping prices come down soon eh?
It's great seeing the new shop coming together Matt! Even if it's temporary. I look forward to seeing your permanent shop come together. Kudos for getting things together as you are!
I use a solar light with a photocell in my workshop. I am fortunate to have a window that allows it to charge through the day, and it works great for me. So, the rule is, what works for you is good for you. I’m looking forwards to seeing how the garage will morph in to a new Shepards hut 😃
That floors brilliant Matt. It's a pitty you couldn't spray concrete on the walls and roof like they line tunnels with. That would really make a quick secure workshop build. Tony
I'm just in the process of building a second workshop (my wife believes it will be a Garden Room). I used 2.4 mtr lengths of timber but the frame ended up way out of square. After checking I found that each piece was a different length. Not sure about 12mm for the flooring, though - let me know if you have any problems with it, please
Coming along nicely Matt! If all else fails, Badgers Circus could do a roaring trade! BTW, I reckon you’d be doing Charlie DIYte a favour if you explained what a white balance is. 😀
Hi Matt, the garage/workshop is looking great, the little mods yoj have done will help you heaps, I also have a 18v Bosch circular saw, and use ig more tham my powered saw, take care and keep safe.
Very nice update to your shop. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Brilliant work, Matt! Really well done! 😃 You know, before building my new workspace (that is now the second floor of my house) I thought about building something in the garden... But I didn't think of something like you did there! And I should've, because it would've been much cheaper. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I like how you have problem solved your way into having a usable workshop space, I'm also impressed at how calmly you go about making massive changes to your life 🙂 By the way I would like to see what the outside looks like with your colour balance adjusted for inside that tent 😀 It actually gives a really good diffused light, perfect for videos, its like a giant softbox. I know that's exactly how you planned it ;-)
Looking good. One thing that bothers me is security....I would be wary of keeping my tools and workshop equipment in a tent....it only takes a scallywag with a Stanley knife to nick your kit, and as many home woodworkers and tradesmen can attest, there are a lot of those thieving types about.
I know you don't get a lot of sun over there, but the material will eventually deteriorate after a few years from the UV. Just something to be aware of.
What's the plan for security of this workspace? Is it just an area to work in or will you be storing things in there at night? I'd be worried about my tools popping up on FB marketplace if I kept them in there 😅
If that is the future floor of your workshop should you not have levelled it off and used some plastic plinth feet like you did for your old workshop? I guess in the future you could take the two section apart and do it then.
I hope u have or getting some security cameras on ur house no matter how good the area u live in there will always be some scumbags try to rob ur workshop.

I bought one of these tents.
I also bought another door for the other end,instead of the wall, to make a tunnel tent. 👍🏾

I agree. I think it will be a nice place to relax.
Looking good there, very rigid.
Well you're not having any condensation problems Matt 🙂 GREAT WORK. Thanks very much for the mention, take care David 👍
Thank you Dave
Looks Great - looking forward to new projects in the new workshoo!
Thank you very much

Well I would never come up with that as a workshop. Great thinking there mate
Thank you. It’s should do me for a year
Very good idea! I am continuing to enjoy the podcast.
Thank you Dave
Great flooring system. Now I'm waiting for you to make an ingenious shelf system for hanging on the tent walls.
There's something very calming about a large empty space...with just enough room for a workshop angel
Best of luck with the new space
Thank you

I would like to have solar power in the future
Hadn't read the comments but to help a bit drive some stakes into the ground and attach to the floor for added security from the winds.
Great to see that you have a sensible workspace now. Doing projects in the house can be a pain. This looks like it will last a good while.
Thank you. I hope so
How are you going to make this secure for security? A Stanley blade will have this open in a few seconds?
That floors brilliant Matt. It's a pitty you couldn't spray concrete on the walls and roof like they line tunnels with. That would really make a quick secure workshop build. Tony
That would be a quick build workshop
I’m quite interested to see how this turns out and is used.

Looks fantastic and so much space. Definitely worth dealing with condensation before rustable tools go in.
I won’t keep tools in there
It's coming along great! Love the lights
Thanks Keith
That is turning into a great workspace. Nice!
Thank you
Looks like an ingenious solution for this year. Plenty of space too. 👍🏻
I think it will work well for a year
Coming along nicely Matt!
If all else fails, Badgers Circus could do a roaring trade!
BTW, I reckon you’d be doing Charlie DIYte a favour if you explained what a white balance is.
😀
People do say I am a clown. The lighting is hard in there, it changes a lot
Looking good and really stable now !
Thank you
Hi Matt, the garage/workshop is looking great, the little mods yoj have done will help you heaps, I also have a 18v Bosch circular saw, and use ig more tham my powered saw, take care and keep safe.
It’s a great saw.
Very nice update to your shop. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Thank you
@@Badgerworkshop your very welcome
quite a few nice hacks in this field workshop
you might need a ramp to roll your heavy mobile tools onto the floor
I don’t have anything heavy
@@Badgerworkshop I thought at some point you would be using table saw, and planer maybe
Great job Matt. That’s not going anywhere now!
Thank you. I hope not
Brilliant work, Matt! Really well done! 😃

Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Sounds an impressive space you have
@@Badgerworkshop Not really... It's pretty small and to bring heavy stuff like plywood up there isn't easy. 😕
This is what I should have done. Would have done if covid hadn't closed everything! Takes the rush out of real shop build!
I hope this will do me for a year

The light looks very red outside on these settings

That’s why I won’t keep tools in it
@@Badgerworkshop good plan...that's the one I would use.
Great video , thanks Matt
Thank you
Great job - looks the business - I think this workshop will stay in use for a longer period than first planed for.
We will see
have you thought of a secondary rain tarp to put over top? I wonder how it will work with heavy downpours? Looks good so far though!
What category is the solar battery pack in, under the “tools I use” link? Thx
I had forgotten to do it. It’s now under hardware
Great idea with the straps Matt ,but does the floor rock not having levelling it?
Looking great Matt. So 2 questions: who’s the new apprentice and where did you get those funky braces?
She just keeps turning up.

I know you don't get a lot of sun over there, but the material will eventually deteriorate after a few years from the UV. Just something to be aware of.
live and learn mate. Looking good tho'.
Haha wish it was my idea
When/how did it change from
Green to white internally?
Camera settings
What's the plan for security of this workspace? Is it just an area to work in or will you be storing things in there at night? I'd be worried about my tools popping up on FB marketplace if I kept them in there 😅
I won’t keep them in there
Thank you for the floor video but again referring to your extremely important second pair of hands as the apprentice....."site agent"?
just need some music to dance all night ...
Yes I do
What happened to the old curved roof workshop?
I moved
Have you invented the Man tent?
Haha I wish it was my idea
oh erm great space but the lighting is a problem you look ill /sickly a little green around the gills :)
If that is the future floor of your workshop should you not have levelled it off and used some plastic plinth feet like you did for your old workshop? I guess in the future you could take the two section apart and do it then.
It will have to come apart to move it
Apprentice eh… 😉
floor
Do you have good neighbours Matt? The noise could annoy them.
Yes
@@Badgerworkshop good
I hope u have or getting some security cameras on ur house no matter how good the area u live in there will always be some scumbags try to rob ur workshop.
