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.

Would not rather go with a pent roof shed Matt?

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.

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

My loft is a 8x6 pent from tigershed mate and I have kitted it out with 8 boxes and a little corridor lol it’s in the diary section all photos are there

If I had the room to do that I would take my current setup!

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!

Whatever you do Matt, good luck with it mate.

Good luck with your project Matt, hope you get things sorted out mate, it would be good to see some photos as you go through it.
