I replaced our wooden one with a plastic one ,the wooden one had already been replaced like for like and needed painting /staining every year ,one less job to do in the gardenmagpies79 said:
All done thanks for all of your views I’ll be honest it’s been so windy last 3 days and normally after a night shift I’d have to go out in the morning and hold everything down haha so a lot less stressful now 
so now I need to move onto the shed which has a floor that’s rotten in a corner and the first 3 bottom side slats of wood has completely gone is it hard to repair and would it cost a lot as just been looking up the price of a new shed and that’s a definite NO lol
