I felt bad for hijacking the thread started by @videojetman
His work is beautifully designed and meticulously executed. Mine is a bit more making it up as I go along incorporating whatever materials I can scavenge.

Anyway, I wanted to build a shed in the back garden and to make it from reclaimed materials. My neighbour gave me some old railway sleepers he had saved from a landscaping project he had done. I also had access to lots of old pallets. These were the starting point.

Our garden has a lot of hard landscaping. The previous owner must have had shares in a concrete company. It was quite an effort to remove some of it, but on the upside it did provide a solid base for the great edifice.

Thank you. The neighbours are on board, though I did reduce the height of it a bit in line with their wishes. They weren't so keen on the shanty tower chic, casting a shadow over their nice garden (and in fairness neither was I).

My bike stuff is scattered all over the house, but largely in a semi-converted loft. It's not great for working on bikes as I have to carry them up three flights of progressively narrower and twistier stairs. The reason for building the shed is to clear the loft for proper conversion to a bedroom with en suite.

At the moment I share the loft space with my wife, who works from home and uses it as an office. It also serves as drying room for laundry - not the ideal arrangement with dirty bikes coming in and out.

I made a work bench which wheels in and out of the alcove. I will move it to the shed as it will give me flexibility with the limited space in there.

Not just my house looking like this then. What a relief.
 
Here to provide some comfort and support to you. In my defence, it's only the hallway and the loft that are a little bike heavy at present

Spent last night slicing up old cans in preparation for the fishscale cladding on the front of the shed to protect it from the prevailing weather.
