The Shed Review Guide
A checklist you take with you when you look at a shed, in a store, at a neighbour's or on a product page. It shows you what to check, what good looks like, and which corners cheap sheds cut, so you can compare two sheds properly before you pay.

What's inside
Six short chapters, in the order you'll need them. Each one ends with a tick-box checklist you can print.
Build or buy?
A one-page decision sheet: your budget, your tools, your weekend time, and which route each answer points to.
Materials, compared
Wood, metal and plastic side by side: how each one fails, how much upkeep it needs, and the climate it suits.
Sizing worksheet
Measure what you're storing, add space to move, and check it against your local height and boundary rules.
Choosing a base
Gravel, slab, deck blocks or timber platform, with a quick guide to which suits your ground.
The shed review checklist
The heart of the guide. Cladding thickness, floor and bearers, roof covering, door frame and hinges, windows, fixings and treatment, with what good and poor look like for each.
Budget planner
A fill-in table for the full cost: shed, base, delivery, fixings, treatment and anything you need to rent.
Who it's for
First-time shed owners who want to spend sensibly once rather than twice. You don't need trade skills, only a tape measure and a willingness to look underneath things.
It's not a catalogue. There are no product rankings in the guide, so you can use it on any shed from any seller.
