Hello and good evening to you all !

Well done are you having any windows to let light in? What size is it?

Good evening snowdrops hope your well :D sorry I should have put a bit more info but I end up rambling and it ends up boring me when proof reading :D

It’s 6ft x 4ft (maximum im allowed unfortunately) by 6foot high but it will have a pitched roof 90degree pitch 3foot wide, so it will be tall. If u can’t go out go up :D
There are windows as such but white grape vine will cover that (with bit of luck)
As for light I’m a big user of solar panels so I’ll get a 40v one of them and hook a light up

Thanks for replying  :D

You will one day and Itl  be worth wait

Little update on today’s shenanigans  :lol:

I made a back out of pallets broken apart (took longer breaking them down than the whole shed so far :D )  in a kind of over lap. I still need to paint it put some sealant on it just in case then paint it, not sure what colour tho I don’t want normal “shed” colour anyone got any ideas ? Any artist in Hertfordshire I’ll paint it white and crack on :lol:

I also put in a floor ( from another skip) and I got some Lino that I’ll lay over the top and seal it so if anything is spilt it won’t damage the pallet base

(This has still been completely free so far I had to cave in earlier and got 1500 screws from 1 inch to 4 inch for 30 quid
Thanks for reading

Lino will trap moisture, so might not be good idea.
Grape vines are cut back each year and normally trained to maximise fruit, rather than all leaf, though you can make wine with it.

We have had our allotment shed sitting on a pallet base for 11years. Plotfather treated the pallets and the shed with Cuprinol first. 3soakings I believe, he is a belt and braces man! No problems with damp. There is nothing on the floor inside the shed. We boil the kettle in there and make drinks etc. He allowed me to paint the shed a plum colour. He wanted to keep it wood......not very adventurous is Plotfather.🤣
