Got my new shed now on the allotment and am well pleased with it and

But should I lock the shed door with the key when I leave? Or just
leave it unlocked with the wheelbarrow upturned against it?

What do people here usually do?

There is no proper answer.........depends largely on the level of vandalism
in your area. Ask fellow plotholders about the history of the site. I'll be
putting up a shed on my plot in a couple of weeks, and my intention atm is
not to lock it. Atm, as I clear and dig over the plot, I leave all my tools
in a water barrel with a cover. So far, so good.
As for comments about 'why' a shed........ a pee bucket, chair to have a
break if it rains, a camping stove and kettle for a brew.........all very
nice

Agree totally with you as to why have a shed!! Boil a pan of water, pick
some sweet corn cobs, plunge them straight in, cook n eat!! Magic!!
