    Hi all

    I'm looking for a cheap cheap garden shed. Mainly for herself and her sewing machine and somewhere for me to store a few bits and pieces. I need something small enough - maybe 8 foot long, 6 foot wide - as I said, not going to be putting much in there.

    Doesn't need to be insulated, doesn't even really need a window. If it's at all possible, I would be able to take it apart to move it (since I'm renting).

    Everything I've seen online is around the €300 - €400 mark. I was thinking about getting some sheets of corrugated PVC and just lashing them together, make a few cuts on one piece and stick it on a hinge as a door. That way when I move, I can just unscrew the sheets, stack them and move them. Looking online, I could probably get the materials for about €100 or €150.

    Anyone got any other ideas or want to point out any obvious problems I'm missing?

    Cheers

    Corrugated shed will prob hav an issue with condensation. resulting in lots of drips.

    Cheers for that - didn't think about that at all.

    @paddy147 - That's pretty much what I'm looking for. Will have to keep an eye out for them. Hopefully they've come down in price a good bit since though.
