Factory shed =  :?  suppose they mean a proper job not a homemade one  :roll:

Freecycle would be a good start Nat.

Well if you make it off site and then just assemble it on site, they will never know will they. Lots of bought sheds come in pieces for you to assemble.

Just a thought.

I know its a bit of an imposition, but you must know someone with a trailer to transport the bits in, or if you have a tow bar you can hire one for 1 or two hours.

I bought a 8'x6' from gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk for £195 and it's a really good quality shed.
If you want cheap and cheerful Wickes do a 6'x4' for around £125 (bought last year so could be more now).

don't buy one for an allotment.... I ended up hunting for a year and kept asking people at my site if they had any. Well one day someone did and tada I have a lovely free shed :)
