Looking for help on garden sheds!!!
 
Hello,
Im a student studying at Southampton University for a degree in Product Design and for my final project I am loooking into the design of garden sheds. My aim is to produce a new product that is styled to fit in with the modern garden design currently becoming popular.
To understand exactly what I need to incorporate into my design to create a successful product I was hoping some keen gardeners would take the time to fill out a questionairre for me. I would be truly greatfull and it would help a great deal.
Thankyou very much
Chris

nails (see paintbrush)

It's a brick shed with concrete roof, it's been painted white inside to
highlight the spiders better.

Electricity added.

It's a carbuncle but the council won't let us knock it down.
