Shopped around e bay and got a good deal on timber, good size corner posts, 4x2 leg frame studs and clad it up, a few roofs to choose but sterling boards and fibre glass it is good.
I finished building one myself in my garden last month as a part time hobby over the last year to stash garden stuff on ground floor and a room n balcony for kids to use upstairs. Probably cost fifth of what it would if i got it from a company ? I slated a pitch roof with velux on it .

Not a patch on Smudgers, not even a shed but I knocked this up for the kids this summer..

80% of materials used were Um. .. reclaimed..borrowed...definitely not stolen off chippies on site no way

Alright chaps

On a plot of land I have got it has a shed on it that is 10ft wide by 13ft long and has a pitch gable to 9ft its rickety and falling down and I need to replace it.

I cant build it out of anything other than timber as there is restricted planning on the shed (complicated)

The shed needs the gable end to have big doors to get a car through

I am looking at making a tounge and groove shed as I need it to be fair strong and secure I have looked online at sheds but they all look a bit pants and and nothing off the shelf works with my requirements for outdoor storage buildings online...

What do you reckon just crack on and build or am i wasting time and money?

Crack on and build it yourself! Tongue and groove is a solid choice for strength and security. Use 4x2 treated timber for the frame, 19mm+ cladding for durability, and EPDM for a long-lasting roof. Build heavy-duty double doors with proper framing and a deadbolt for security. A concrete or timber frame base is essential for supporting a car. You’ll get a shed that fits your needs and lasts for years.
