I agree, your garden seems perfect, its big enough for a good sized enclosure and it neednt be expensive or fancy Gosh I wish I had that much free space in my garden
i have a cat and a dog and my enclosure is very simple with a mesh top to stop them getting in

another problem is that i start all 3 of my bikes up about 3 times a week at the bottom of my carden on the mudy bit and i have to ride them round the garden a little bit etc (to make sure the engine stays lubricated n that)
but... i dont take them on the dead bits, mbe i could set something up there? exept that it would need to not be too close to the sheds and the gap between the grey shed and the conservantry is realy shaded most of the day

A tortoise table is just the start of making the torts life better. They need outdoor space, is there no way you can provide this?

It doesn't have to be anything spectacular, just escape proof with things for the tortoise to explore. Heres a couple of my enclosures, they were so simple to build and cost next to nothing.
