Hi

We are looking at putting a garden shed in a gap between our outside wall
and a boundary fence. Now we don't have much available space, 5ft wide, so
would like to make best use of what we've got but how much clearance do we
need to leave between the shed side and the house wall to avoid problems of
damp?

Obviously we'll make sure that it's a pent roof falling away from the
house, and with guttering to protect the fence, but don't want to cause
ourselves problems either in the house or shed.

Also would having a metal shed rather than wooden make any difference to
the space we leave?

Thanks for any comments and input.

Cheers

Jay
