OK, sorry, I thought the 3 must have been a typo.

I don't think the price sounds that bad, considering it will be erected
for you. Not all sheds are equal - do you know what size framing they
plan to use, which timber is specified for the cladding etc. Does it
include guttering? What type of roof?


I'm trying to get that information at the moment. It's from
www.shedshop.co.uk. The price breakdown is £499 for the shed and £75 for
installation and delivery.

The message
from "Neil Jones" contains these words:

I just can't imagine 12' x 3' being a terribly useful size, that's all.

Rather depends on the space it has to fit into.

A sheltered 12 ft long wall rack for tools and hosepipes filling in an
awkward gap by the side of a house? Or along the side of the garage
while still leaving space to walk outside the shed?


You are quite right - it's filling an awkward gap at the side of a new
house.

I think there's a planning law which says that you mustn't build within
3ft of a boundary (it's to allow you access for outside maintenance
without stepping on the next chap's land). I don't think it would apply
to a shed, which is a non-permanent structure (and certainly the garage
belonging to the neighbour at the end of our garden is only 6inches form
our wall), but it might be as well to chat over your plans with your
neighbour first, and get him on-side. Point out how much tidier this
will be than having a glory hole along the side of the house.

house.

With new builds (houses) being the way they are, the gardens they give you
are not large and I wanted to use a 'not so useful' part of the garden
sensibly. Also the house does not have a garage so what I intended to do was
to get a 12ftx3ft shed and partition it to have two separate spaces (also
with two doors). One side would be used as a standard shed and the other
would give some storage area for items I would normally throw into the
garage.

I guess I should also consider putting two smaller sheds together. I just
thought it would be a neater solution to get a all in one solution.

Thanks for the advice.

The neighbour in question has just put a shed about 5 inches from our fence.
Therefore I hope they will not mind if I do the same.

And don't forget you'll want the guttering to feed a water butt, you need to
allow for that. It's snowing as I type this (In Dorset!!) but in July you'll
know it makes sense.
