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!!
