Not sure how long it takes but they can live for several years and they shed their skins when they get too big for them. they can reach 9-10mm not including their legs and about 60mm including the legs.
Sometimes what looks like dead spiders in your shed could just be the big guys cast-off's. sorry for the nightmares ;�)
