I'm impressed will it be a greenhouse or glass sided potting shed/greenhouse?
Better get a sheet of vinyl or ply sheet on the floor, else it will be bit draughty around the ankles. 8)
Glass fronted potting shed/ g.house hopefully.

Wow! that's impressive - well done so far - will watch progress with interest :)
Can you guess what it is yet ;D ;D ;D
Looking good my man, looking goooood
Very clever mrf94,You have me thinking now! I have about a dozen extra length pallets at the top of my garden which i knew would come in handy one day. I`m inspired. Look forward to seeing more pix as you progress.Now wheres that pencil and pad.........
Well impressed !! cant have anything over a meter high so will have to be happy with the little tool store hubby is going to make me :)
Thanks for the praise, one thing our allotment doesnt seem short of
is bricks, So the walls being hollow as it were, my thought is to ? pack/ stack bricks inside the back wall and use them as a heatsink, i allso thought about something like rockwool to pack the rest but i think the price may beat me on that one, hopefully the front will be all glass , its facing south so my head says it should work heres hoping the reality
does .
mrf94
Looking good, keen to see what it looks like when it's finished.
Definately in the true spirit of allotmenteering...Looking good so far. Next pic's?
Looks the buisness so far, keep going I will be watching this space. :o :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I got the back and sides done now, as well as the top cross member.

Believe it or not the roof was dilivered to my works this morning,
a huge packing crate12 foot long and each side 2ft 6 inch wide.
Wow this is shaping up great, cannot wait to see the finished project. I think you should have contacted Kevin McCloud and gone on *Grand Designs* program ;D
Two thirds of the packing case roof

You couldn't make me a kids playhouse mrf94, only if you have a spare bit of time. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Kids being kids all they need is a three pallet compost bin structure with a pallet on top, you will have some very happy kids, give them some old carpet and some old curtains and see what you get.
It looks great
Do you do this as a business I am desperate for a shed.
How much would it cost to have one made
Sorry no
I have access to pallets of different sizes and shapes so as the title says i formed a picture in my head, did some drawings on paper, using the pallets different measurements , When the bulb lit up i started collecting pallets
of the size and shape that fit my picture, I allso had been offered 5 glass
shower doors for the price of a few bacon sandwiches all different sizes of course, again these were taken into consideration when working out the
size of the ? shed,
The money side of it comes with things like the screws its all screwed together no nails, then there will be the silicon sealer for the glass then the big one the felt , as stated before MRF stands for materials recycling facility
Iworked in one till 94
As to time i allso barrow my manure from one end of the site were its dumped when delivered to my plot which of course is the furthest from the gates ,im digging my fourth raised bed ,oh and sleeping a lot and i work seven days a week , Im playing catch up with most other plots ive only had mine since end of november

When you have finished all your plot projects and you are sitting in your shed watching others toil away you will have the biggest smile on your face I'm sure ;D It's totally in keeping with the allotmenteers motto..Recycle, Reuse and Rejoice ;D
Well done to you.
Lauren :D
P.S I look forward to your update pictures. Keep them coming.
Used to make sheds with my dad in the early 70's... it was all doors then as slum clearance was underway...
;D
Oh well.
Wish I was good at creative things unfortunately im not.
Keep up the good work. A genius idea.
If anyone on this site knows of anywhere or who has a spare shed please bear me in mind.
Im desperate for one
hiya, margyf.welcome to the site..let it be known where you live, our plots have been given two sheds in the last 3 months :)
that is one serious building, mrf ;D

Blimey (can I say that?) mrf94 - that is fandabitastic!! Well done! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Twinkletoes
lol you can say owt thee want im not a proud man
If you are looking for insulation and have sheep farmers about, ask for free fleeces they are worth nothing these days so farmers or smallholders gladly give them away, or try collecting newspapers and putting them through a shredder
mrf that is amazing, my grandad built our shed out of pallets too but it's not as big as yours ;)
well done, such an inspiration! enjoy it!
Update.
Started waterproofing, started my propogator, and my propogation.
The round plastic doofas, are what sandwiches are kept in on the counter/bar etc,
The propogator isnt finished yet it needs a side and a door,
Ive been doing some digging and muck shifting in between so hence the delay
