    About 6 years ago a ship full of swedish timber sunk just off Torbay, the whole lot was washed up just down the road from me. There were traffic jams as people loaded their vehicles up for days. I managed to get some but i am kicking myself that i didn't get more.

      I think I will try it all except for the seat - I will find out how good I am at making things pretty soon!

        Just a thought, if the wood you have is old oak then you may need to pre drill the holes for you screws, it can go as hard as steel with age. If you havent got a cordless drill/screw driver then borrow one it make the job so much easier.

              You could make a goalpost arrangement over the beds running the length of them to allow either poly or netting to be easily fixed.

              Or you could make a massive bean frame.

              If you have any areas of poor drainage on your plot, you could use some as a drainage channel liner.

              If you discover you are fairly handy, a potting bench is not so difficult to make for your shed.
