Im intending on building a block shrd for a lot of my crap!

Im getting confused with all my block selection, shed will be 3x5 meters single skin and was i tending to render it to fit with rest of house etc. What should i build it from thermolite, 7nm solid blocks or hollow 8"blocks.

If i did it with 8" blocks would i need to build piers into the wall.

I'd just go with standard dense (or medium dense) concrete blocks. Thermilites crack very easily. They will be easier to move around and lift up but the build won't be as good. Hollow blocks is an option but they are quite a lot more expensive. For a shed that size you'll get away without piers for normal concrete blocks, especially if the roof design ties the walls together. You could put one pier in the middle of the 5m wall if you wanted. Definitely no piers needed if you go 215mm wide.

Cheers that was my original plan was to build with solid blocks then i was about to order and a mate asked me all these questions.

Original plan was to have piers on one long side and then one each side of the door the other side
