Sheds like these aren't just assembled. It takes years of dedicated collecting and construction. Each added bit is pondered on for ages before actually being put in/on/at/to the existing part.
 Works of art to be treasured.... ;D

(Did I see one of 'em with a lock on the door??  :D :D :D )

Cheers - any quality in the photos is down to the Nikon D90 and 18-105 VR  lens that came with it!!
It's a really nice camera - very happy with it.  Just wish I hadn't dropped my macro lens :'(

Here's a picture of the one that was on my lottie when I took it over.
The funny thing what was left of the roof was five feet high and the two blokes who previously had the lottie were over six foot tall ??? ??? ::)
I thought it was bad but looking at some of those sheds this looks positively posh ;D

Ta for posting Al37!
I think one of the requirements of a crap shed is that they are fundementally a pain in the backside to actually use - a short shed being a fine example.
There must be more crap sheds out there - please post pics!

They are allotment sheds not state of the art garden sheds. I have quite a nice shed and greenhouse at home but on the allotment the shed that belongs to our daughter Bunjy  and our greenhouse were both rescues. I think allotment plots should be full of character and not laid out in a regimented and uniform way.This is just my opinion, anyone is free to differ.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Manics I love it. Wish it was mine ;D. Was only telling someone yesterday about your bathroom suite. We were offered a greenhouse yesterday and we thought it would do for our Bunjy's plot. Tone phoned up about it and is going to see it on Tuesday.
