What do you use your shed for.

[Jimmy]

When I was young and had an allotment the old guys had amazing sheds.
They had dug down to the mains feed to the watering trough and had running water in the shed.
A full setee and arm chairs and cooker/stove.
Shelves full of allsorts of homebrew made in the shed.
One guy had mounted a wind generator on the roof and had electric and a small caravan TV.

Currently my shed is 40 years or so old. I paint it every year and it still seems OK ish.
Used mainly for storing junk.
The roof is felt but I would like to convert to corrugated sheets as I have to maintain the felt on a regular basis.
So
What do you do in your shed.
What roofing does it have.
Regards
Jimmy

Dreams.

I don't have a shed, but I WANT ONE SO BAD.

I could afford a second hand one, but they're all come-and-take-away and I have no way of transporting one. Waaaah!

Don't you know someone with an estate car with a roof rack.
Could be shifted a wall at a time.

We had a really old shed on our last allotment.
Nothing exciting in there...just the 'usual ' stuff which if pinched wouldn't have broken my heart....but I did have a pee bucket

Felt roofing.

I have a 'reach in' shed, which just means that i can't physically get my foot into it, it's so rammed with stuff. I just lean in as far as possible, and i can usually extract the thing i need - all the stuff beyond reaching distance is absolute crap and will never be needed.
My roof used to be felt, but now has thick black plastic stretched over it and nailed to the sides of the shed with batons. There are a couple of pallets thrown on top for good measure too.

My plot shed is 7ft x 5ft. Shelved . Roof is plywood covered by aluminium profile sheeting. Every man needs a shed.

Every man needs a shed.

and every woman!

Sheds are for storing STUFF, according to TS's allotment rules, so they get STUFFED full and occasionally on a nice sunny day everything gets taken out to get sorted into reasonable order - but mostly I have to hunt for whatever I'm looking for ...
I do know it'll be in there somewhere though hahaha

Mine is like that. it was full of junk when I got it and my version of lasagne gardening is to add my junk on top of it.

One weekend I may let OH know I intend to clean the shed out and to send a search party out if I don't return.

Lasagne style,yes I use that as my office filling system. If I want something it's either in this pile or that..

The only folk I know well enough to ask would go to the ends of the earth to help, but are busy grandparents with back problems or heart conditions... In other words the people I COULD ask are also the people I never WOULD ask. I've accidentally ended up with friends of my parents' generation! This is probably something to do with the Morris dancing...

I need a pee bucket.

The shed on my plot is a bit dilapidated, and could do with a new roof I think. It will become clearer once I've taken down the chicken shed that really does need to go, which is attached to the shed.

Inside, I wish I had a sofa! I might just look out for a little'un that will fit through the door, but realistically nothing comfy will. LOL I have a wooden bookshelf that I got out of a skip (I asked, before I took it), cardboard for my future beds, paper shreddings, the top of a camping toilet sat on top of what looks like a litter tray. How fitting, considering how long I've been called a crazy cat lady LOL

Three sheds here. The black and white stripey one that was here when I bought the house and is at least 40 years old. It has a corrugated metal roof with a dip in the middle, is lined and wallpapered with all sorts of different paper and has electric - so its the tool shed where "work" is carried out. It also stores all sorts of valuable junk!
The 2nd shed has travelled - from my brother's father-in-laws garden to my allotment and hence to the garden - its about 6x4 and has a felt roof covered with pondliner. Cheap and effective for roofs. This is the garden tool shed.
The 3rd shed was the oversized chicken coop, again roofed with pondliner over felt, and this is where I store the chicken feed and shavings for the chooks, inside wheelie bin sized wormeries and dustbins.

As has been said, everyone needs a shed, I'd like another one at the far end of the garden for a spare set of tools.
