Hi Moment welcome :)
Have you tried asking around on site ? my OH has scouted around and refurbed old sheds found behind sheds, in the rhyne, one guy was getting rid so he could have a new one and was grateful to hubby for removing it .Usually all it costs is some new felt and a padlock and the grateful recipient furnishes hubby with a bottle of wine so everyones happy :D :D :D :D :D

Hi moment - welcome to A4All. I'm not too far away (Paignton) and I belong to Freecycle Torbay. It's great for ridding yourself of clutter or asking for something you need - as in your case a shed.

Here is the Plymouth Freecycle link. Just sign up and put in your request. Good luck!

There are a load of people who want to get rid of sheds and greenhouses, some want you to remove them for a fee but often it is free. Especially in the posh areas.

Go round to the newsagents in posh areas near you and for a small fee they will allow you to place small adds in their windows.

Freecycle certainly gets results but can be a bit hit and miss

Hi Moment. I am also in Plymouth - Brockley Road, Laira - We got our shed from Wickes, but have seen them reduced at B&Q. Also keep an eye out in the Herald as they are often in there!
