3m x 3m shed
As the title says , wanting to build a 3m square shed on the back of my new garage . I can buy a steel one for approx 500 quid . Struggling to get
under that for timber unless I use reclaimed pallets / scaffold boards. It's only 3 sided . Any suggestions or pointers greatly appreciated

I'd be surprised if external ply was good enough. Would need treating.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

Im half way thru doing a fairly sturdy 4x2 timber shed from scratch. Spent about 450 to date on frame, panels, paint and screws/ironmongery, and
budgeting for a further 2-300 on conc base, osb/felt roof and glazing.

I'd have thought 4x2 timber frame roofed with exterior ply and felt with sides clad in overlapping horizontal exterior feather edge planks.
Material cost must be sub £500 and build it yourself - finish it with an exterior grade fence type sealant and perhaps guttering to control rainwater
flow. For my money a hardcore and concrete base would have to go down raising the shed off the soil to prevent rain soaking in and give you a solid
floor.

I had the same space so built this;
started by using some treated rails screwed to the fence posts

Then screwed onto that some 15mm OSB3 sheets which are external structural grade

Visqueen down and 3" of concrete poured.
Roof sheets are reclaimed ones from a farmer friend

OSB screwed to the inner front wall

My biggest (only) concern with that is the water running off the roof into the gap between the fence / side. It will get wet and have no way of drying
out.

From experience gutters and rainwater control are necessary. Wet wood rots quickly and the interior space can get wet too.
