My wooden shed has been stood standing there for over 20 years, I put a rubber roof on after about 10 years. Other than that it just gets a coat of preservative whenever I remember, probably about every 5 years.

Interesting. What kind of wooden shed is it? As in is it built out of something a bit substantial or is it like those made from thin shiplap strips?

Not a dig on those btw. I didn't think they'd last that long but maybe they do.

I'd just moved house so I was broke. It was a 20' by 10' shed made of 2" square frame with weatherboarding on it. I can't remember the cost but it was local company that would build whatever you want. It could do with some work now but it still keeps the weather out.

That's the other thing - I'd need someone to put whatever kind of shed it'll be, together.

You're talking to the guy who made errors putting an Ikea bookcase together ...said me.
