## Community Q&A

**Q: Did you use pallet wood?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love this. Thanks for the step by step photos, however did you use recycled pallet wood on the exterior? Approximate costs for materials and time? Thanks!

A: The framing is all dimensional lumber. The siding is recycled redwood fencing.

**Q: Dimensions** *(in Photo Questions)*

What are the dimensions ? And type of wood? Wood barn ? Really nice! Want to try to do one like this myself!
Thank you!
Isabelle

A: this was 1/2", picked through a pile of old fence boards and mix during installation

**Q: If you could...** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi, love the look and 'feel' of this tool shed. My question is, if you were to build it over again, would you do something different?  Add or subtract something?  Customise it in some way? 
Cheers.

A: You could eliminate the deck piers and place it on sleepers directly on the ground

**Q: Looks fabulous. What is used for the windows?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Are there issues with moisture being able to come in?

A: polycarbonate, and nope

**Q: looks great, really enjoy the design.** *(in Photo Questions)*

how are the redwood boards attached to plywood, screwed directly on? or is there some type of spacer btwn them?  thank you.

A: The siding is attached to vertical spacers o/ vapor barrier. Look up rain-screen siding to get a better understanding of how the systems works. There is a gap less than 1/4" between the siding sections.

**Q: What is the top "window material" ? it looks like vinyl sheeting.** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Not shown in this picture but it is polycarbonate.
