If you want a good laugh this is the shed that was on the property when we bought it.

If you want to fall off your chair I have a 3x3m shed full of junk and an open air garage 😄
And a couple of shade trees for car servicing purposes.
It must be so embarrassing when you have men come around to your house.
Maybe we could start a go fund me page for you???

Here’s my rather modest affair. 12m x 7m, 6m x 7m mezzanine.

I bought steelwork from a local fabricator who erected it, did pretty much everything else myself and with friends helping.

Ideally I would have liked it a bit wider but the slop of the land made it tricky.

About £20k all-in.

The Mezzanine makes up for the smaller size.
Initially my shed was going to be another 2.5 metres higher at the walls so I could put in a mezzanine but we decided it was just going to cost too much and be too difficult to work on.

Yeah it’s really useful actually, keeps a lot of “stuff” off the floor.

Originally I wasn’t going to have one but the little extra height on the columns and two extra steel beams didn’t add much to the cost at all. I was about £1000 in timber for the floor and job done.

My shed is 3.1 metres at the walls and 3.9 at the peak.
We are planning on building a room around the area where the bed is at 3 metres x 3.4 metres with a 2.4 metre high roof.
We will extend this roof across the 10 metres at the back of the shed giving a storage area of 30 square metres about 600mm high at the walls sloping up to 1400 mm at the peak.
Not a mezzanine but a useful storage area for Christmas decorations, seasonal items and shit we should really throw out.

My wife and I were discussing that on the weekend.
Turns out we need to buy a garden shed to keep the mower and all the gardening stuff in.
So not buying and restoring a dirty old 1950s English motorcycle then?
