We are now in our fifth year living in our house.
And in the garden, there is always something to redesign or create, which the years before didn’t allow time for.
Now I’ve been thinking about getting a small garden shed with a lean-to roof. The lean-to would be for firewood, and the shed for garden tools.
What do you think: minimum wood thickness? Is 19 mm (3/4 inch) enough?
Does it absolutely need a floor? We only want to store hand tools, fertilizer, buckets, and a wheelbarrow.
For the foundation, I’m thinking of using ground anchors that are set in concrete. The thought of digging 80 cm (31 inches) deep terrifies me...
My husband isn’t really the creative type. He can do the work, but designing a shed himself isn’t his thing. We lack the technical knowledge. So we would probably order one. Building it ourselves should be doable [emoji16]
Please show your sheds: where are they located in your garden? Did you build it yourselves or order it? Any challenges during assembly?
What would you have done differently? More windows? Different paint? Pressure-treated wood or not?
I need your input and ideas.
And in general: this topic is completely missing here.

Best regards

Gabriele Why "unfortunately need a new home"? Didn’t you want a new one??? 😉 Good luck. Ute

This is a mix of bantam silkies and frizzled bantam padua chickens. I’m absolutely smitten with your chickens right now. I was just browsing through your house construction updates and came across the chickens. We have small, cute quails on our terrace.
