Yes that's why it caught my eye... it's a potting shed from shedking. A bit pricey but I'm hoping it will enable torts to have a great time when the weather is not so warm.
Well here's my 1st update. The location is the old temporary tortoise I made for last year. A big bodge job. however new 1 will not be. Here's the location before OK we start. Took a hedge out. Was getting to much. Sad to see it go. Panels up clearing the clutter out ground levelled Took advantage of the weather today to get the shed base sorted. It's been delivered Tuesday. And this evening the Base Is complete |

That's a nice size space. Plenty of hard work going into it but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Found the shed on Shedking, not too bad really to get something so good. Talking to a local joiner it may not be 100% suitable for use here in Shetland due to the regular high winds but I'd like to copy the plans all be it beefed up a little!
Great progress, really looking forward to seeing this progress, I have some great ideas so interesting to see how you do everything! |

It looks good, it will get really hot in the summer, you might even need to try and cool it down. I saw some automatic window openers for greenhouses which might be useful.
