Only a double 'sentry box' (that's all we are allowed) but we've got a pergola...

'snot fair, I want a log cabin (or one of those summerhouses on a turntable that you rotate to follow the sun).

now one tha rotates to follow the sun that will be the business ;D

Your sheds are quite big i assume they are not only for storing things?
Well the folk building the newest one (the plotholders + our master shed designer and builder) were sitting in there today munching on smoked salmon and cream cheese!!

The one building combines storage shed/ potting shed and greenhouse/conservatory. This particular one also has a "playroom" with attic and its own entrance for the couple's young son. They put in the window today and started laying decking.

next you'll be telling us there is bedroom with unsuite and an open plan kitchen/ livingroom with a fireplace. are you sure you aren't secretly building a house on lottie land :-\. is the plan to move in under the cover of darkness then shout squatter's rights when your found out :o. hmmm!! just thinking out loud ;) ;D

Your log cabin is nicer than my house.  I am so so jealous.  We are not allowed sheds on my allotment, sob, sob.  But I am suppose they do pose a security problem?

Yawn, just woken up from nights..... ::)

My shed is my combined 2 Christmas's and birthday presents from my self employed carpenter OH...he doesn't do things by halves! Lots of left over stuff salvaged from other jobs utilised, it has a locking tool cupboard built in with a old front door used, a bit of kitchen worktop as a working area, big bins for storing netting and plastic bottle cloches, and a  'freecycle' little sofa to sit on! The most expensive bit of it was a lock and special bolts for the doors to prevent them being taken off, but as I don't store anything in it I can't afford to lose I think thieves would be a bit disappointed if they broke in...but they might squat in it! ;D
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

What grand "sheds". Most of them seem more like greenhouse-cabins than tool sheds.
Deb, your log cabin is wonderful!!  No wind will blow that away!
The handle on your recliner does not qualify as an exercise machine.

Mine really is the back of a lorry.  I have boared it all out on the inside to ensure it is fully secure.  Totally waterproof.
