I finally had a bit of time and inclination to complete the shed. I filled the hole in the front of the roof – with rusty steel slats that I found thrown away outside an exhibition hall. I have also removed the polycarbonate window that was on the side of the shed and replaced that with more rusty strips – to make it so that the whole shady side is clad in the same thing.
I’m quite happy with the final result – its quite odd looking and i will probably make a few more amendments – but it is at least waterproof now and has a lockable door.
I am going to start removing items soon though as i have heard that the autumn and early winter is a bad time for break-ins.

There is no photographic evidence yet – but I have put half of the roof on the shed – and need to keep a look out for more chipboard to do the other half.

almost ripped my left nipple off climbing up to fix the screws in – one of my ikea shelf brackets inside the shed was not strong enough to support my weight. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised there.

The full sized shed is almost complete. It still needs a roof and one of the sides is still not clad – but I am waiting to find some suitable timber for this.

I got a pack of unwanted feather edge timber from a friend which has made the front look fantastic. I also got a great door from Eastbourne’s answer to freecycle (Freegle) and made a handle from a cherry tree branch. Window made of old window frame with glass broken out and plastic Polycarb  tri-wall inserted instead.

Now – do I paint it?
