Yes for the garden and to be used for storing garden equipment also over wintering bulbs and plants plus a potting bench as it will be close to the greenhouse and yes it will have electricity if it is made locally it will have a 8ft long double glazed unit fitted to the front and a 4ft one on one side.

Sounds perfect, Curly.
We'll need photos.

I'm hopefully getting a shed delivered today, from GBC:
https://www.gbcgroup.co.uk/sheds/malvern-heavy-duty-pent-shed.htm
It's only a wee one, with no electricity or anything fancy, but very solidly made. I'll report back when it's installed, to give my opinion!
(Note: they seem to have a permanent rolling 20% off, despite the "ends 31st July" - they had a similar "ends 31st May" banner when I ordered mine!)

Update: the shed arrived on time, and the two guys had built in under an hour. I'd take a photo to post, but it's hotter than the surface of the sun out there at the moment!

My poor Amoro squash is looking a bit wilty, but I promise I watered it right after taking this photo!

That's a good looking shed, Eyren. Plenty of room to fill with junk.

What a fine construction! I bet it wont take long to fill it!

Most garden sheds are a bit flimsy using 2x1 or less for a frame. I’ve a second hand shed which is about 45 years old now was my parent neighbours. It’s 4x2 and weighs a ton.
I had built a home office 6 x 4 metres in 2008 by a shed company for £6k total spend. They did the basic construction which I then insulated and plaster boarded had power and heating brought out to it. that was on a 3 x 2 wall construction and 4 x 2 roof. Check out shed companies locally, most offer home office frames which are a bit more robust than your average shed and generally cheaper than a joiner.

The framing timbers are at least 2x2 (I didn't measure them exactly, just guestimated using my thumb), giving 4x2 in the corners where the walls screw together. Plus the floor is sturdy tongue-and-groove, so it doesn't bend and creak when you walk on it. It may well outlive me!

I ordered a new garden hut in mid June which was delivered and erected in mid September its a 12t. X 9ft. timber framed shed the framing is 3in. X 2in. and clad by 3/4in. T & G. I also lined inside with plywood as I want to use it as a potting shed as well as storage for garden tools and equipment
