This weekend I went along to a great shed building course. We built the wooden base frame and flooring for this caravan! A highly enjoyable course, learnt a lot, and really cool to construct something and see it coming together.

Course was run by Ian Watt just outside Alyth if folks are looking.

The workshop I built for my wife after the first lockdown, mainly to stop her from taking over mine(!)

I’d always been intrigued by the idea of stitching a shed and greenhouse together, so knocked this up. The idea is that the greenhouse captures solar heat in the winter to help heat the workshop - it seems to work, and the shed is very heavily insulated with polystyrene collected off the local beach over a summer and put through a garden shredder.

With a small radiator, the temperature gets up to about 22C very quickly, even with outside temperatures around zero. When they’re about 8-10C and upwards, no heating required.

Built mainly out of free stuff (greenhouse, roof tiles, much of the frame, insulation, copper ridge, windows, door).

Please ignore the oil tank. We inherited it and can’t afford to change systems.

A picture of a greenhouse attached to a shed. The greenhouse is a standard 8 feet by 6 feet aluminium-framed model, but a purpose-built shed has been built in line with it so that the roofs line up. The roof of the shed is covered with brown slates and a copper ridge, and there is a skylight in the middle. Internally, the shed and greenhouse are separated by a duck egg blue door. The sides of the shed are wooden. The photo is taken diagonally from one side. In the foreground is a green oil tank, and in the background the white side elevation of next door’s house.
The inside of the shed described in the first photo. The shed is a workshop, with a workbench running transversely along the back and down one side under the skylight. Underneath, on the left, is a rack system containing pieces of coloured glass. In the middle of the bench, two clamps are attached to a block of wood. On the back wall is a window, with a red frame. A chair is parked in the middle. Mostly, it’s a good, chaotic mess.
The inside of the shed greenhouse, taken from the greenhouse section of the entrance to the shed. It’s a wooden wall, with patchwork panels oriented vertically and in the middle, a duck egg blue door, half-glazed. A slabbed path runs up the middle, with growing beds of soil on either side. Plastic pots and other detritus are scattered around.

Allotment shed brain dump
I need to do something about the main shed - the second one on plot B - next to where we have our tea

But do I need a *shed*?
A couple of cupboards would do just as well for most of the stuff we store.
So my plan is to demolish the two basket case sheds (although what I do with the debris I don't know - I can't get the car or a skip there) and build cupboards for the smaller stuff from a collection of warehouse storage boxes we acquired some time ago.
I can support these with an angle iron framework* and use some corrogated sheet from a demolished shed as a 'backing' and some more as a 'roof' to harvest more water.
The larger tools can go into the 'good' #shed on Plot A until I work out a better solution.

*I'm half considering a wooden frame on 2x2 treated timber - it'll see me out and be much cheaper.

All I need to do is to decide on timber or angle iron - find the cash, and work out what to do about the demolition. Easy.

Mission accomplished! Took a couple hours yesterday to get the bottom and walls on, which required the two of us, then all day today by myself to put the roof, supports, trim, and doors on. Phew! Tidy little guy tho. And hey, there is a lady inside!
Home Depot “Outsunny” 6x4 shed.
Good instructions. Lots of screws and nuts/bolts/washers but it all made sense and fit nicely. Only a couple corners required some persuasion to line up.

A man, me, with a scruffy salt and pepper beard and thinning hair on his head is taking a selfie through the partially open roof of the shed. The silver support bars and brown panels of the roof are visible. I am wearing a purple shirt. I am winking with a weird surprised look on my face.
The shed stand partially completed. There is an open hole where the doors are to go. The two rectangular holes for the vents are open above the door.
The small brown shed is complete. It has white trim and a slightly sloped roof.

Quick visit to the #allotment and #shed this evening.

Pulled out a large sapling / small tree that had cunningly disguised itself as a blackcurrant bush. Trimmed the real #blackcurrant bushes and the #blackberry thug. Pulled out #horsetail and #bindweed

#painted some #arrow shafts a fetching fluorescent orange with Goblin Snot paint (best brand name ever). They will need another coat or two. The two or three coats of varnish on top of that to get them nice and smooth. Tried out my new helical #fletching jig on a broken arrow shaft. That went well too. Well, until I noticed I put the feather on backwards.
