Price of one of those cheapo sheds, you could get a free concrete garage + pay someone to transport it.
They can be assembled on a rough laid base of paving slabs, and if you pick the right one, it'll have a metal roof.
You don't have to build the whole thing; no.2 shed is the rear 10ft of a garage, with a wooden framed double door.

The hoarder that I am I genuinely forgot I've got another two freebie sheds taken from the same guy at the same time years ago. (SWMBO reminded me). Octagonal things with loads of glass and triangular OSB roof sections. They were brand new...I just had to collect.. No instructions so two jigsaws in one. Some mild rot and woodworm here and there. Nothing creosote won't cure. Hardly high security but needs must. Going to put both up on 6" high stacks of free paving slabs I think I can get.
One 8'x8' and one 8'x6'.

ive adapted 2 broken sheds into one both bought as damaged for less than the new price
there easy enough to do the adaptions on them as they are only pinelap
Suprisingly good condition, I take it thats the post nature cleanup picture.
I've got a spare little shed for garden tools that we had to move when they were felling a tree to avoid it getting splattered, I keep meaning to put it up for the veggie plot tools & havent forgot it, its just going to take me a few days with a strimmer to even get near where its stashed ontop of a old trailer that I mow round every year.
Looks like you're sorted then, and the price is definately right

Yes I know I'm going for the cheapest option but might have to rethink the bases for the two freebie sheds.
Creosoted them:
The plan was to raise them up simply on 6" stacks of (yet to get) free slabs.
The 8'x8' shed's floor has 45x35 "bearers":
The 8'x6' has 30x30:
Then there's the "floorboards". Between ⅜ & ½" I reckon 11mm. Tbh not a huge issue as I could cover the floor in pallet wood.
Guess I could tack / screw some extra battens to deepen the bearers?
I wonder if these were meant to sit direct on a concrete slab?

If you were closer I'd willing take them, shame to scrap them

If you need to strengthen the floors, do so, but get the shed up and in use.

from what you have there you could have a double size shed to play with whilst also doing away with 2 panels one would be a door entrance the other just a panel or window
join both of them up but you would also need to know the size of panels your playing with
and an adjustment to the floor and roof

All 3 sheds are going up "as is" is the plan
The 10'x8' pent at the back of my veg patch as a garden tool shed. This one tbh is the most sensible "erection". Gives a new lease of life to the SiL's pattern and die maker dad's shed. No real need for insulation or anything. Designed for what it is.
The 6'x8 octagonal behind the garage so it's only a few steps from the garage to make immediate space for low value and bulky stuff. Can't go any bigger without cutting an apple tree down.
The 8'x8' octagonal where the greenhouse is. Wife can have that. Bit of of a bummer this as it's where I wanted to build my daughter a well built art studio.
Can't help feeling it's all a waste of time and energy, that I should burn the lot and build from scratch. But let's not think like that eh! I'll screw them all together so they should be easy enough to move.
