Would love some help about a shed. We are lucky enough to have just got an allotment. We are planning what we would like to do and can't make up our minds what type of shed.
If we could hear pros and cons on the different types of shed it would hopefully help us decide on what type to get.
Looking forward to your thoughts. :j

For an allotment, you just want something to store a few cheap tools in, that's robust enough to withstand vandalism & theft?
Metal won't burn, but it does seem to allow a lot of condensation to form. Maybe plastic?If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -
Hi, this has been asked before, if you want to look through these as a starting point.

:)First of all you need to check what you are allowed to put on your allotment - different sites have different rules, some don't allow sheds at all. :eek:
If you can put a shed on then my first suggestion would be to look on freecycle/ebay for the cheapest one available that suits your needs
Plastic/metal/wood will all do the job but you need to factor in that you are putting up a structure in a place that is much more vulnerable to vandalism than your back garden. Look at other plots - what have they got? Talk to other plot holders - what are their experiences?
Sorry if this seems a bit negative
