I have recently been allocated an allotment, which I am obviously thrilled about (after nearly 5 years waiting)

I'll need a shed, although the previous plot-holder left his old shed on site ... only problem, it is or at least was an old Wendy House. OK, it'll do in the meantime, but is a bit small, and far too low.

I'm thinking it would be a nice idea to build a shed using old timber doors, maybe 3 x 2 doors in size, so about 6' x 4'.

How hard would this idea be ? bearing in mind I am not a joiner. OK, I can do a bit of DIY, but a tradesman I am not.

Surely it would be straightforward joining the doors, with one being hinged to open. A padlock would do me ... there#s no way I could fit a proper lock to a door.

The roof might be a bit tricky, but surely a timber yard cut rip up some timber to give me the sloped roof Then it would simply be a case of banging on some external ply to the roof and some felt.

Easy ... or is it ??

Not as easy as going down to b&q and actually buying a shed. They are dirt cheap nowadays.

Also you won't look like like a hobo to your new allotment friends
