I'm hoping to put another shed up. However me and old man are at loggerheads to where it should go.
I want to put it at right angles to an existing shed and leave about at 45ft gap be hire starting new shed? Dad doesn't think this will be enough room?

What ever you think and double it, and it still wont be enough in the future.

45ft is only a gap wide enough to drive through for sum people. I wouldvsay 75ft to 90ft

If you have the space, big enough to load/unload, turn artic trucks.

45 ft is enough room to swing a small cat only.
Needs to be bigger - as the actress said to the Bishop!

60' minimum to turn a grain lorry, I believe.

Why put it at right angles? Put it next to the existing shed.

Ours are all fairly close which sometimes I wish it was more but we can afford to have it all concrete and it's easier to move cattle about as its more like passage ways

It will be at right angles going behind some existing sheds. It's the only way it can go unless we move it to another place

If you've got a forage box like this it needn't be very wide. (Scrubbing of tyres noise!!)
