    Shed Features

    The contents of two old and ugly sheds had to find a new home into one more attractive shed. Having a small garden, the L-shaped layout enables twice as much storage possible without taking up too much garden space. Using a trussed roof also adds to the storage capacity. Our pet rabbit also uses the shed as his luxury spacious hutch during the day - hence the small door on the "west wing" so he can come and go as he pleases.

    Other Shed info

    "Mabel" was made by myself out of two older sheds (9`*8`and 6`*4`)and the remnants of a wooden conservatory I had in my garden. Material costs were kept to a minimum. All that I needed to buy was a small amount of timber for a custom made door, the base, roof trusses, roofing felts, paint (Cuprinol Jasmine white) and fixings. I decided not to put the glass back into the windows mainly to keep it cooler for the rabbit and seeing the contents of bikes, ladders etc is`nt exactly appealing. It can easily be converted to a garden office by unscrewing the wall panels and replacing the double glazed units if required.
