Hi Salad Muncher,
Can't really help with plans, but can tell you what is possible: my shed is built from chipboard straight onto flagstones with a corrogated plastic roof. It has been painted and that seems to stop the board from rotting. Apparently it has been there for several years - and must have been very cheap to build.
Also it has a gutter to collect rainwater into a waterbutt - fantastic!

Sarah.

your one of the lucky one's and inherited yours well done..may have to hold out for someone to get bored and inherit theres. I suppose I am lucky I forget as I did inherit an Anderson Shelter from another plot but not comfortable to go into but the whipper snappers cant burn it so tools are safe would like the challenge of building a new one seeing as I plan on being there for a decade or two ;)

Try typing "shed plans" or "free shed plans" into google -you'll find lots.

e.g.

P.S. Try a 'Shed wanted' ad in the free papers or wherever, worked for someone on our allotment.

Done lots of seaching and ended up looking at some steelbuildings @ www.shedstore.co.uk not bad pricing got to be easier than building wooden one not sure what council will say about it ???
( And the foolish kiddies cant burn steel)
