Evening Everyone,
Another thing i have just remember is running down the side of the path under the ground is the gas or electric pipe bringing the supply to the house and if i concrete over that and they need to get to it it's going to be hard .... still thinking wood frame with decking on.

Hello JG, sorry for asking the obvious, but is it possible to move the planned location of the shed away from underground pipes and tree roots, even if it means laying another path leading to the shed? Just another thought but in a previous house we lived in many years ago, I converted the loft and ended up with the mother of all workshops(.It was a BIG loft), Warm, dry, easy access. The bench alone was 15ft long by 3 ft wide. Had an area for storing finished models, a cutting/sanding area. I could go on. Get your thinking cap on  Cheers Kev |

It might be easier and cheaper to move somewhere with a workshop already installed  |

JG, I`m no expert but that sounds very reasonable.

Kev - That's what i thought, i did check how many bags i would need to do it myself and it came out to around 52 bags and that's just concrete, and that depended on big size.
