I would add that there was a lot of strengthening work done to the standard units before they were built in, absolutely no sag etc and when you tap any of it it it's got that solid sound rather than a standard Billy which frankly is a bit crap!

I extended my Billy's with the standard extensions, by total luck (as seen in the pics) the wall space available lent itself to the Billy dimensions perfectly.

If you really want a good shed then build it yourself, it won't cost much more but will be superior if done well. And actually it takes probably no more skill than is involved in throwing up a pre-built one. Though probably needs a couple of tools

Well I know I for one will sleep soundly tonight. I'm expecting to see some serious woodworking accomplishments on the forum in the future ....

Look up Ikea hacks on google etc, it's a great way for the DIYer to achieve professional results if you've an eye for detail. This cost me £800 but I did have access to a reasonable set of cheap tools and a garage for all the timber work, took me a while too because I'm quite slow. Hate to...

I have a cheapy Titan one, it works fine for my purposes.

What recent surge in DIY?

Or a single door with two full height sidelights. Or a single door and bigger windows - and gives more floor space for wellies etc, if that's the point of this porch.

It begs the question why a double door is necessary?

@JohnD his OP says main entrance.

French doors opening out will also help with resistance to the weather, that way your seals around the opening are at the back,

It wouldn't be acceptable to me, looks like he fitted a smaller skirting as well as not aligning it properly and I would have fitted an architrave on the junction between the drawers unit and the wall as it'll probably crack there. Though then the worktop would need to have been extended out/to...
