Got one set of doors finished today. Temporary fitted the catches at the top to keep them shut.

My cladding also turned up so 3 sides have been done just got to finish the doors before fronts can go up. Also need to put roof edging up plus rear guttering.

Progress is pretty slow as its got cold and it's dark when I get back from work.

Progress may be slow but its still progress. It's not easy at this time of the year but the end result will be worth it.

It's probably OK, but the bracing on your doors is running the wrong way, ie they should be hung off the other side.  The ledgers (diagonal bits) should be in compression, you've got them loaded in tension.

 

Looks like a neat shed though.

Nice to have your garage/shed finished in time for the winter, love having a nice space to work in.

I disagree, if the outside covering was multiple pieces of cladding then they would sag, but as the outside covering is one solid sheet the sheet will take the structural load and the framing on the inside just becomes bracing. The laws of physics will not allow the sheet to sag, they'll be fine.
