The hives have already moved from the old apiary to the new one, so it was time to move the shed and fix the damage done by recent storms.
The pre-fab shed came apart fairly easily, but first I needed a new floor to sit it on as the old 9mm OSB floor was seriously past it. I made a new floor from 3″x2″ timbers and 1″ thick boards that I pulled up tight to each other with some clamps before screwing down. I also made the new floor somewhat larger than the original shed — about 8’x10′ whereas the original shed was 8’x6′. This allowed me to extend the shed to 8’x7′ and (since I had to replace the roof, too), some fiddling about gave a covered sort of “verandah” area for equipment storage.
I wasn’t about to put rubbish felt back on my new roof, so I used EPDM instead, which still needs cutting to size and fixing down at the edges.
