Building a Garden Shed for less than 10 Euro

To be used to live in a house with got a garden shed can be frustrating after moving to a new home, with perfect interior, location, price and garden, but not just having a shed.

To go to the DIY store and get a kit, is just not my style, and also Budged wise i didn't want to spend hundreds of Euros. After having build a compost and hen house out off pallets i though it would be just the best option to construct the shed in the same way.

So first task for building the shed is:

• get pallets

Where to get them if not steal them ? I had a technical approach to that and asked on Twitter where one of my followers @Trevor_Kingston was so kind and replied that he had some of which he is happy to get rid of them. Dropped of Friday evening, the Sunday after already put to a new use.

My neighbor across the road was so kind and gave me some old nails and wood.



So that was the equipment I used:

• 8 wooden planks
• 8 pallets
• a bucket of rusty nails
• a hammer
• a house wall
• 2 friends (optional, but easier to erect the whole thing)

I always say pictures say more than thousand words,
so as you can see we build a basic frame work, cut a door into it and also already got one kind of shelf in place.


A bit of manpower is necessary, thats why i wrote in the Title of this post: "Building a Garden Shed for less than 10 Euro" since each of my helpers, and suppliers of the materials will get a bottle of the "Clonlin Redwine 2011" which is bubbling away in the utility room.

Thanks to Trevor and Vincent the material suppliers, and to Jens and Michael for the hands on.

In Part2 i will report about the interior design for my "Holiday Inn" so stay tunned.
