Greenhouse or shed?

jujudrops

Please help me to decide which is the better option. I have raised beds and large paved area for sitting in. Also have raised beds for veg with room for other pots etc. I have just finished clearing the garden and the small shed is looking ready for updating - meaning that now I can make the change to a greenhouse if that is the better option. I live in a terrace ad have children living on both sides so ball games are played regularly (not sure how relevant this is). I would love to have better results with toms, cucumber etc, as eat a lot of salads.
So please give me your opinions as to the better option - cannot go any bigger than 6x4.
TIA

So you would love a greenhouse but still need to store 'tools'

You need a potting shed .

Green house is wonderful , but per sq foot , I get more out of my raised beds

yes i would love a greenhouse and that is my dilemma, what would I do with the tools, spare pots etc. if I chose not to have a shed - how I wish I had room for both:o

Tools and spare pots can go under the staging. Greenhouse for me every time.

depanding on how much you want to spend you can get half shed half greenhouse but they seem very expensive do a google search and you will see them

So the staging is a permanent feature??

rhosynbach has the idea , but the wall under the glass seems a touch high.

I have a greenhouse but for the amount it's actually used for growing as opposed to storing, I wish I had a small shed & a decent sized coldframe

You can get some greenhouses and sheds which are half and half e.g. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.gabrielash.com/image/product/images/small/new-grow-and-store.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.gabrielash.com/classic-style-greenhouses.html&h=768&w=947&sz=163&tbnid=3ZFRYKdTXjR0lM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=121&zoom=1&usg=__1ojFhlz6EWN_QXPumVoVgjJ9mlU=&docid=E2ZcaNwH0kJASM&sa=X&ei=4dLjUbT5EKqo0wWIsYC4Bg&ved=0CFQQ9QEwAA&dur=11 but they're big and expensive.

I'd go for a potting shed like this if I were you. http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/190861674421?var=lv&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y&cbt=y&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=66
