Garden Shed Postion

tippgod

Just want see what do people think i should do
I want to build a shed that is approx 10foot high. There is a 9foot high wall around my garden. The back wall of the garden is west. 
Do i put the garden on the left or right side. I was thinking the left side so that i could build a pation on the right side and get full sunshine but i see a few of the neighbours have it on the right. I included a very basic drawing of what i mean
thanks in advance for the help

The right hand wall, in North, so no shadow will be on the garden from the shed, as it will get no sunlight

The Left is south, so most sunlight here and maximum shadow in the garden
Evening sun from the west.

With existing walls at 9' and the shed at 10' I would watch where the sunniest part of the garden is during the day, and put the shed on the right, so no shadow at all.

Yes, thank you for the reply. that was a friends point of view but my thinking was that the wall on the right gets the most sun so would that not be the best place to sit and also grow stuff. The wall on the left is dark at midday but more concerned about afternoon / evening sun

looksee

One extra foot of height from the shed isn't going to make a whole lot of difference to the available sun except possibly in winter. I would put it in the gloomiest corner, ie the south west. Your patio should go near the house to get the south and west sun and your veg further along that north (south facing) wall.

That wall will get most of the sun! It is on the north side of the garden so if you stand with your back against it you will be "South Facing"!

Its the way you tell 'em as the late great Tommy Cooper might say.
M123 means that it will cast no shadow across the garden it being higher than the existing wall

Thanks for all the advice. I think I will put it in the South west corner of the garden (Position X)
