Adding guttering to a Tiger garden shed

robatwork

A picture of where your yellow wall meets their back fence, showing their new side fence would be helpful. We could surmise the join of walls is where the border is. It looks like your shed is in their space which puts all the onus on you. But the fence could be in the wrong place…

The fence reminds me of a few upturned pallets.

If the shed is square it could maybe turn 90 degrees, you'd loose light. It would need to be empty and need more than 1 person.

Unfortunately it is rectangular and there isn't room to rotate it due to raised flower beds nearby.

I don't have a photo of that. I looked back at old photos to see where their previous fence was but the shots aren't good enough. The old fence looks to be in exactly the same location as the newer one but I can't be sure.

Same position as far as I remember from the old fence. I don't have a good shot of the old one to post.

Do you think it's ok for a shed roof to trespass over a boundary? Do you think it's ok for a shed roof to drain rainwater over a boundary? Do you think an ok solution is to add guttering which will trespass even further over someone else's land?

Remove the roof.

Remove the top row of shiplap.

Trim/extend the corner posts as required - literally cut the long ones to the height of the short, and add these pieces on to the short ones using summat like metal screw plates to make them the new 'long'.

Refit the shiplap on their opposite sides.

Refit the roof.

Give yersel a pat on t'back.

Or move it away from the fence or buy a smaller shed.

What your suggesting is way over the top.

Also the OP would have it a roll of felt to redo the roof as I believe the roof is nailed/screwed into the main shed construction so unless the OP wants patch it up then new felt will be required.

Here's me thinking it was the obvious solution 😜

You make a good point if the roof has been screwed down on to the shed from above and was then felted, covering these screw (or nail) heads. In which case the OP may wish to check whether the felt could do with being replaced in any case, or whether these screw/nail shafts can be sliced through from inside using a multitool to release the roof.

Especially if the shed was built from a kit, the walls will almost certainly have a perimeter frame - a 'wallplate' - around the top, to which the complete roof was attached. In which case, good chance the roof has been screwed in place from below, so potentially very easy to remove. Or, if not screwed from below, the joint betwixt the wall plate and roof frame should be obvious enough to attempt a 'pry' and a multitool slice if needed.

The OP has explained that all other solutions will require either an expanded base - which she is understandably trying to avoid - mega flowerbed trampling - ditto - or an extended trespass.

I think worth the OP asking the opinion of a local handyperson or two. If the OP could post some clear pics of the shed inside, including along the wall-roof join, we can advise whether it's a goer.

If you don't want to move the shed, then it seems to me the obvious solution.

I would add - any such clearly avoidable trespass over a boundary is inconsiderate, and very likely to irritate.

Boohoo

WIAWSNB if you do use a multi tool to get the nails/screws off/out how would you reattach the roof again without damaging the felt?

I had a look at tiger sheds website and looked at the installation instructions as I didn't know if the roof was nailed or screwed down or it was attached inside the shed y some sort of mechanism.

Agree best option is to move the shed away from the fence so it can sit away from the fence and fit a gutter if needed and also the OP could apply wood preserve or the like at the same time.
