Title: Good old freecycle
Post by: ACE on February 10, 2015, 18:42:40

Got a shed to take down tomorrow, then rebuild it at the allotment. To think I nearly paid for a new one a couple of weeks ago.  Got my little gas ring and kettle, just need a small table and a chair. Oh! and a bucket.

I'm a huge fan. Have received, among other things, a 3 meter aluminium and glass cloche, a chicken shed, large pots which hold my blueberry bushes and a huge roll of chain link fencing.
Have made use of it to distribute allotment surplus and I particularly like it for re-housing over-sized items of furniture that wont fit in my car.

I love it too. I got my 6x8 greenhouse from it. It included staging and a heater. The owner could no longer garden due to ill health. I was thrilled with it.

Well, chalk that one down to experience. No roof, no floor and only three sides. I expected to have to do a few repairs but with this one the materials needed would cost more than the cheap  B&Q budget shed.
