Arrow Garden Shed... & New Garden makeover

My garden is also getting a makeover...
and my current 6x8 shed is rotten and needs replacing, so I'm thinking of getting this shed from B&Q... (click)

I will need a firm concrete base putting down. At the moment I have my french doors opening into the garden with a lil patio area. And the shed is right there on the righthandside, with the lawn area behind it.

I THINK I like the shed to be at the bottom of the lawn area, back of the garden, with some slabs leading upto it...

however this would mean increased cost
1. for the slabs
2. for the patio area, as I will need more block paving there (in the original place of the shed).

The patio area is being block paved and wooden decking there too on the lefthandside.

What do you think?

However the back of the garden is a public road... it will have a 7ft fence to the rear though... would it be ok to put the shed there?? Or keep it where it is... hmmm...

I bought my Waltons 12x8 shed from www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk

I don't know how the price compares on what you want, but they were the cheapest I could find on the 12x8. I ordered on the Thursday evening and it came the following Tuesday.

HTH, Rob.

Cheers Rob... a similar shed was £252.

I went with the B&Q one (£199). Thanks for giving me another option to look at.
