    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    It's probably a bit too big, although as it comes in sections I could make it smaller. The Mrs is not keen on keeping it at all though, for health & safety reasons and it's not as pretty as a shed?!

    I had to get new drills to put a few holes in for hanging baskets, so probably to make it smaller you'll need a heavy-duty pneumatic drill.
    I've got several shelf units in mine, lawn mower, garden tools, even large container for fish food, and storage for the apples.
    Moreover the gutter down pipe feeds the water-butts.

  • My local council will accept (IIRC) up to 10 sheets of double-bagged concrete asbestos, which they describe as around a small garage or shed. That's about the size of my outbuilding which I want to re-roof with Onduline or similar, given the hole made by my tenant and subsequent leakage!
  • Garages supplied with a corrugated roof sheet for at least the last 30 years will be fibre cement not asbestos, it may be difficult to persuade the employees of your local tip to take it on that basis.
