katanita Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 After some advice from handy DIYers. I have an old shed, it's an unusual size, say 40cm x 150cm, and about 170cm tall. It could be a handy size for a small garden. However, it's bigger than I need, so I've been clearing it out to pass it on, but in doing so have found that the floor is rotten, as are the bottom two planks. Is it salvageable? I hate to throw something out if so - the rest of the structure seems fairly sound although it needs a few smaller repairs. Anyone fancy a shed DIY project?? Or should I just give up, smash it up and take it to the tip? Next question then - anyone planning a trip to the tip soon who wouldn't mind taking some extra stuff along, possibly a shed?

rendelharris Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 That might be useful for someone as a bike shed, as you could lose the bottom planks and still have enough height. Recycled pallets make a good shed floor.

katanita Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Ah, if by short you mean height, I did say it was about 170cm tall! 40cm is the depth although having measured is actually 50cm, so it is quite flat, designed to run along a wall rather than stick out from it. At 150cm wide I'm not sure it's big enough to be a bike shed? Maybe I'll try just taking the bottom out and seeing if can be used that way.
