I was delighted when Wayfair offered to send me this 6 x 4 shed to review and my excitement reached new heights when, on Thursday, a big van pulled up outside our back garden and delivered the flat-pack shed. The shed I chose was this 6ft x 4ft overlap shed with double doors on the 6ft side. We decided to add a couple of extra lengths of pressure treated wood underneath the flooring for additional support, so that it could easily take the weight of the tools and the racking storage that I planned to fill it with. It’s just the right size for our garden, and provides plenty of storage space to tuck garden tools neatly out of sight.

There’s often off-peak trains and buses that can get you into London on a budget, and there’s always a special deal available during school holidays. I also think it would be a great way to help your teen develop their problem-solving skills without them realising that they’re learning during the school holidays!
