Has anyone used a shed in the garen to work from home?


Recommended Posts

Hi there,


We have just had a little baby and are needing extra room! As budget is tight we were thinking of erecting a shed in the garden for my partner to work in. Has anyone done this and have any tips or things that have worked or haven't or things we should look out for?


Any advice would be much appreciated!


Many thanks,


Annie

The only thing I would warn you to look out for is the spiders. They love ours. Arachnids as big as your head have come out from under the floorboards.


Other than that it?s a great office/yoga space/loud guitar playing room/batcave.

I have a buddy journalist who put in a shed/office in the garden and it works well although it was not a cheap structure as it was a flat packed cottage lookalike, it needs to be fully insulated (roof and walls)


I built my own which cost 2.5k for the bits and pieces, and a few weeks of time and energy, his cost more than double that.

    • Some of the replies to you have been unnecessarily rude. It's not unreasonable for wheelchair users and everyone else to expect to have access to the footpath. But instead of criticising the council for not already knowing about the problem and casting pre-emptive aspersions on their responsiveness...maybe you should actually take the step of letting the Council know about your concern? When I had a similar-ish complaint, the Highways team responded very quickly.
    • "The tables outside the Blue Brick were in fact mostly within the cafe's curtilage." All the tables were placed on the pavement, not part of the cafe's curtillage any more than the pavement outside my house is a part of my curtillage. There are no signs of demarcation like studs or different paving which is usual. I believe though many cafe's were awarded licenses by the council during the pandemic allowing tables to be placed on the pavement. "Yes, Jenijenjen [your 'real name', obvs], I have posted over a number of years. Say what you intend clearly about these previous posts, so that other readers can judge, rather than alluding to them obscurely as if they somehow invalidate the matter I raise here. Good grief."  Blimey, you're reading something into this post that really isn't there and was not intended.  No hidden agenda, merely an observation.    
    • They do that in Chelsea. Bars and cafes can buy the parking space in front of their shop to put tables in.  We should be more like Chelsea.
    • I like seeing everyone out enjoying themselves.  I'd prefer Lordship Lane to be car free and all the cafes etc have tables outside.
