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.

Here it is again in a thawed condition. Haha, those are really cute.
It's a shame the thread is no longer available; I was just curious about what was going on with you all. Did you delete it yourselves, or was it removed by the admin?

It’s a shame the thread is no longer there, I was just interested in what was going on with you all. Did you delete it yourselves or was it removed by the admin? You missed something. It was so heated that the admin deleted it. No notification, just gone. And I got banned right after, along with at least one other person.

Then I might as well skip reporting at some point. I’m not allowed yet, have to wait a bit longer, and my lawyer has given me a gag order.
But if you read between the lines in my posts/questions, you basically know what’s going on.

I watched it before building and thought: That could never happen to me.Hausbau08153 Jan 2021 23:18No, I don’t know that one. I’ll have to look it up. I saw one last summer, can’t remember the title though, where a couple buys an existing property that turns out to be a wreck, and they end up sleeping in a caravan (camper trailer) in the garden because everything goes wrong. That one was good too.

Okay, old supervisor. Then I can save myself from reporting anything at some point. I’m not allowed yet, have to wait a bit longer, got a gag order from my lawyer.
But if you read between the lines of my posts/questions, you basically know what’s going on. Okay, that sounds interesting, I’ll have to check it out tomorrow. I think my deletion was caused by one or two forum members who felt the need to report something.
