Shed plan recommendations

[Dibble]

The garden shed chez Dibble is on its way out. I'm after building a new shed, which will take all the current crap, plus my motorbike and gear.

Is it worth bothering with a plan, or should I just start skip ratting and collecting wood, and build it?

Current sehd is a crappy B&Q £99 one, about 6' x 4'. I'm thinking the new one would need to be about 8'x 10' or so. Any thoughts? I don't want to buy a shed, I want to build it, even if it costs a bit more that way.

Do a google for shedheads, or something like that. There is a huge UK website all about sheds.

Firstly, actually measure the motorbike as they take up a surprising amount of space.
I'd put in big double doors to make getting it in and out much easier, and fit some sort of ground anchor too.

Just add some double doors to the 2 arches...job done


you might be 'skip jumpin' for some time though

When mrs W and I had a loft conversion in 2007 I reused all the old roof timbers and slates on a 11' x 6' "log store". It was a great excuse to buy a cement mixer and gave me several weeks of part time fun. All I had to buy were the 4x4 uprights and cladding. Mind you the bags of sand and cement for the base were bloody heavy and I did pick up another speeding ticket going back and too to B&Q

We've just ordered this mini-barn

It turns up tomorrow and we hope it will swallow the 5 bikes and other crap from the garage before we convert it.
