Tewkesbury Road Community Garden

Men in Sheds have undertaken to build a covered shelter for the Tewkesbury Road Community Garden.

Initial work has now started with clearing the site ready, taking delivery of the timber and construction of the first half of the base is under way.

Roof supports and flooring underway.

Flooring completed with ramp access. Uprights and roof supports braced and roofing now on. Water butt stand and water butt ready to receive rainwater.

Well done to all involved!

Bettridge School Cabin – Day 2

Once again we were fortunate with fine weather. Main tasks for the day were to get the roof boards on, door and window furniture fixed and hope the insulation for floor & roof would arrive (but unfortunately delayed).

The roofers get to work…
Roof progress…
Time to let Rod out!
Roof boards down and temporary waterproof membrane until insulation and felt can be fitted
End of Day 2, Watertight and secure

We will complete the roof and flooring at a mutually agreeable time, once the insulation and OSB sheeting is available from the supplier.

Bettridge School Cabin – Day 1

Bettridge School asked Men in Sheds whether they would be willing to construct a cabin for them and we agreed. The cabin will be used as a Food Bank and second hand school uniform shop. The build was scheduled for the half term break which worked well to minimise disruption for the school and enable us ready access to the site and storage facilities for equipment.

First day of the Bettridge School cabin build by a team from the Cheltenham Unit 2 Shed. We were fortunate to have fine sunny weather.
