Hi, I'm looking to build a potting shed in the garden, with a lightweight lean-to greenhouse on the side. The shed itself will be about 2.4m square, with a 1m wide door-way opening at the front, 1m wide window on the left side and 1m wide door way on the right side that will lead into the lean-to greenhouse. All the openings will be centred on their respective walls.
The first 2-3ft will be single-skin brickwork, then the remaining height of the walls will be single skin Celcon blocks, with tile hanging. The roof will be cut and pitched with concrete tiles. Eaves height is around 2m and ridge height 2.5m.
Questions I have are:
Will single skin be strong enough, especiallly the Celcon blocks?
Do I need any piers anywhere?
Should I return the brickwork at the door frames to strengthen the openings?
Many thanks in advance.
