6m x 9m. About 20 foot x 30 foot. Normally classed as a "3 car"
I wanted much bigger but we live in the city and the council weren't impressed.
We plan on moving house when the kids finish Uni so then I get my BIG shed but
untill then its where I hide and store my piles of crap.

One issue I did have was running a temporary power lead across the lawn. As always, I'm short of time and money, so had to wait awhile. When I did get time it was bloody hot (high 30's) with storms about and stupid high humidity. So like the numb-nut I am, I started digging! Got all the conduit and warning tape from work, and my time on a shovel cost $0 but it nearly killed me. Clothes soaked in sweat, sweat running down my glasses, having to sit down because I was getting light headed. I never said I was smart but its in. Nice and deep and legal / safe. I used 40mm conduit so I could put my temp lead through and have room for a sparky to do it properly later. Used nice sweeping bends on the end to make it easy.   |

What did make a huge difference was the "Whirley Bird" spinning vent on the roof.
It was a gift from my in-laws. Wasnt hard to fit, tin snips, pop-rivets and some silicon
but it's very noticeable. Haven't seen a frost in the last 11 years but in Summer the
temps can get up to 44 or 45 C around Brisbane ( 112 F )
The day I fitted it the temps dropped inside the shed.

Currently looking something like this....  Only plans for the future is to get a sparky in to wire power into the houses main board an fit 6 double flouro's and a heap of plug sockets. I did have big plans but now the sensible thing is to work on the house and move to somewhere with much more room so I can build something serious.  |

Got the doors open, 3 fans going, "whirly bird" vent on the roof is letting the heat rise. Shed is in the shade so the temp has only hit 30C / 86F so far this morning !  |

Something I did treat myself to when I first moved in was some decent shelves. Had various ones over the years, never been 100% happy, they were always the wrong size or not really solid enough. Bought 3 lots of these. industrial quality. Not your standard floppy knock togethers. www.machineryhouse.com.au/S014 Very sturdy, each shelf takes 364kg. They had a mesh shelf but I cut sheets of ply to give each shelf a solid flat base. |

OK so they weren't cheap, but they are certainly getting used and I'd bet they will be around after I'm gone! Buy quality, buy once. Not got any pics other than when I move in.  |

You lucky b#stard.
That's not a shed, it's a feckin' warehouse.
I thought my "shed" was big and it's only 14x10 foot!!!

My wife is a bloody legend.
She paid for it and got it past for planning permission when the council knocked it back.
I wouldn't have half of what I've got without that woman.
She's a star!

This is going back a few years. My last shed behind the house I bought when I arrived here. Basically a double garage, 6m x 7m. I quite like this one as it had a large concrete parking area Infront of it. If I'd stayed there I'd have put a covered carport in front.    |

For a short time before I bought the above place I rented. House had a double garage underneath it. I had less toys and thought it'd be OK. Driveway was waaaay to steep. Couldn't park a bike on it and my Ex crashed her SV twice getting in and out when I wasn't there. Shame, house was nice and the garage stayed cool as it was brick built into the hill not tin out in the sun.  |
