Need help with building shed wall very close to boundary wall

lenehandavid

I was hoping somebody might have a solution to my problem. I want to build a block shed next to my house. The chosen location is the only option I have. It will be between my house and a wooden garden boundary fence.

Space is limited between the house and the fence. The builder says I need to leave a foot and a half between them so they can get in to plaster the new shed wall. I really don't feel like I can spare this space as once it is plastered it will be completely wasted space and given how little space I have to play with, it would be much better if they shed could make use of it.

Also, taking down the wooden fence temporarily is not an option as my neighbour has all sorts of stuff growing on it via trellis's.

My question, does anyone know of a way that I could build that particular wall of the shed right up to the wooden fence without having to plaster it? I need the shed to be water proof so leaving bare regular blocks is not an option. Is there any building method or materials I could use which would allow me to get right up close to the fence? I have considered steel drop in sheds etc. but I would like to avoid them in this instance.

I'd probably use steel sheeting on this side. Connect up the posts and rails on the ground and then lift all into place. You could then have a block work inner leaf then, or whatever you like

Here's what what I did.

Had the shed/garage pre-built to size and craned in . Steel core, rendered on the outside. Fully insulated with insulated PVC fronted panels inside and a brick front to match the house.:)

Thats cool. Is that a concrete shed? Who built it for you? Do you know what height width and length are?

They can be built to any size. It is steel core with plaster render on the outside. All you need to do is build a concrete base to the specification provided by the company. I bought it from a company in the north.

It has various options also. I got an automatic garage door, the inside fully insulated, a double glaze UPVC door at the rear, 4 sockets etc. Very neat job.

If you are interested I can PM you the companies number.
