So with everything going wrong that could possibly go wrong, it's looking like I will be getting rid of my current setup (12*6) and replacing it with two 8*6 lofts.
I am looking at these sheds as that's about where my budget falls!
What would you guys recommend, in terms of modifications, in order to make them more suitable!
Here a link if anyone wants to get the full specs.

Yes a pent roof would be better!
If you ring them up, you can get them to do overhang on the roof Matt. I would go with 6 inch at front 10 inch at the back. All the best mate.
These sheds won't be cheap. I'd buy the timber and build my own. As others have already said a pent roof, with a overhang of 1ft ALL the way round. Then have 6" to 8" of mesh at the top of EVERY side. The overhang will stop rain from coming in but FRESH AIR will be abundant.
You would have to go down to the wood yard, with your measurements. You may be better building, a 16 ft x 8 ft and put a corridor in with 3 sections. But it all depends on your Budget.king wrote: Sun Sep 13, 2026 2:48 pm These sheds won't be cheap. I'd buy the timber and build my own.

Yes King a good overhang with the wire mesh. plenty of fresh air flowing through.

Unfortunately the space available isn't great but enough for a small setup!
It might end up being a 8*6 and a 6*4, after measuring today!
