Looks good! What are you going to do to stop the rain coming in own the wall? Or is it a free standing shed?

Unfortunately no such thing. However it might slow them down which gives you a better chance of them nicking the one next door (for example) instead, **** for next door but great for you :)

Haha very true!!! I'm thinking maybe a lion pit at the entrance or maybe that's going a bit to far:D

This could reduce your insurance too.......in effect that's a garage!

That's a good point hadn't given that a thought, think it may be worth a phone call to see thanks for the advice!!:D

Might not be the same for all companys but my insurance only class a garage as a brick built structure with a metal door.

A shed makes no difference to leaving it in the garden under a cover as far as they're concerned.

Not entirely true; like you said, may not be the same for all companies.
