Allow for air circulation, garden shed buyers advised

People buying a new garden shed are being advised that, wherever they site it, they should leave a gap next to each of its walls so that air can circulate.
This advice was offered by Denzil Sawyer, who wrote in the Expositor that there are many different kinds of shed on the market, but the size of the site it will be placed and the space needed will often dictate the kind that is purchased.
"The design should be attractive enough to go with your backyard. It can be made to complement your house style if you wish. It can also fit well with the colour of your fencing," he added.
Mr Sawyer went on to recommend any budding shed buyers to find out what is permitted by their local building code.
Whatever style of shed that a person opts for, they should always make sure that it is kept securely locked, the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard recently reported police as suggesting.
