Traingular shed? Other irregular shapes?

    HI folks.

    I have a long garden which is 8m wide. In the following image you can see the garden - it's shaded in dots.

    You can see that the garden is longer on the right than on the left.

    I would like to build or install a shed at the bottom of the garden. I think I would prefer a prefabricated model if I could get one.

    The snag is that I would like the shed to be square with the house, without losing lots of space at the back - so really I want a 4 sided shed shed - where the front door and windows are on the pink line and which fills the space behind it.

    My questions are whether or not anyone has something similar?
    If so how did you do it?
    Are there any pre-assembly companies who would build something like this?
    Is block building my only option?

    That shouldn't pose a problem for any decent carpenter or shed manufacturer to make, Square sheds are obviously easier to make than an irregular shape but its not difficult to make a shed work like that.
    One thing though how do you plan to use the room inside the shed?
    That corner depending on how big it is could be an awful narrow dark space.
    Think about using the corner as a kind of light source, if you went with a steel shed you could use fibreglass sheet on the corner and make it brighter.

    George Clarke's amazing spaces last night showed a guy making a triangular shed. Probably repeated in the next week, or catch it on 4OD

    I plan to have weights and a punching bag on one side and a bench / tools / lawnmower on the other. If I could fit a desk / bench in the middle I'd be set.
