The fuse board is right at the side of our front door ....... a long way from the shed.....its as far away as it could possibly be..........the extension lead will suffice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shed seemed huge at 1st, but after I put a workbench in there, it took up quite a bit of room. If the shed had been 8ftx10ft and not 10ftx8ft it would havebeen better for working on the scoot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Just now, Slowlycatchymonkey said: So the doors on the 8ft side? No,they are on the 10ft side. If the shed had been 10ft in length I could have put the scoot straight in and had room to work either side of it. With the scoot going in the shed (sort of) corner to corner, it leaves little working room either side of the scoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I put up a 8×6 shed at our old house in the UK. It was a cheap (relatively) wooden thing and it was shit! It went together reasonably OK, but all the shiplap on the walls bowed and distorted within a few months, which then let the rain and little furry creatures in. Eventually it became pretty much unusable. It was still standing when we sold the house, but I'd guess that the new owners would have taken it down, before it fell down. The moral of the story is that wooden sheds can appear to be a reasonably cost effective solution, but decent ones can get pretty expensive! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ve seen more dilapidated wooden sheds than ones in good nick. It requires too much maintenance for most people. Personally I can only just be bothered to get a wooden fence sprayed every other year and I’m not even the one out there having to do it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
