Whatever shed he puts up , the space outside the shed had to be factored in. So many places I’ve seen that have left hardly enough room between sheds for Machinary to turn etc . An artic , or feed wagon / flat trailer take up more space than the 135 scraper tractor sadly !
That’s why it’s only 30ft wide, 22ft passage between buildings to turn in with the merlo. Can’t push back any further or it will spoil the view across the fields from the house. It’s going on the end of a 60x30 that should have been 100x30 but funds didn’t allow. Boss man said another 40x30 would be good. So I doubled it and ordered it

Some lads sticking buildings up should have had a toy farmyard for a few more years and learnt not to fûçk the yard up,the amount of mishmash farmyards about is unreal,just sit back and think for a minute.
And don’t get me started about putting buildings up on the pîss with others in the yard…

You should come and have a look around here 🤣 it's a Mishmash alright, one day I'll flatten it and put the sheds up in line with each other
