Plastic or wooden shed?

[snuffer]

But will it feel (and smell) like a shed?

That would be the clincher for me. There is something special about the smell of a wooden shed. Would plastic become brittle over the years or in very cold weather?

Our allotments are quite windy and we found the problem with plastic sheds was that they were difficult to secure against high winds and there have been quite a few found in pieces at the wrong end of the site! But as yours is by a fence I guess its not so much of an issue

I do a lot of modelling in my shed so lined it with 35mm cavity boards. Even in weather like today I can put my electric heater on for 10 minutes and go and sit comfortably at my bench.

Why do you write these things, Colin?

[Potstubsdustbins]

Because I am not as quick on the up take as yourself VC

Let me rephrase that post I do a lot of model boat/ship building in my shed.

Boats and ships! How disappointing! My image of you sitting comfortably on your bench has been ruined!

Yep, I thought life modelling too

Maybe a few years ago I may, just may have got away with it

Now I would not want to be responsible for your state of trauma should you peek

35mm cavity? Now there's a challenge for a dentist!

But before I go...went to B&Q (other DIY stores are available) and was not at all impressed with a plastic shed. So incredibly flimsy. What was worse was the wooden one with a plastic roof. The condensation in it was unbelievable.
So digging around t'ternet I've found a pressured treated wooden shed which has a 15 year anti-rot guarantee and more importantly it'll feel and smell like a shed.
Happy days.
Thing is, hallway, kitchen, stair cupboard now filled with tools and slightly whiffy fishing gear, as pld shed has been demolished, and delivery of new shed 14 days. Not good.
