Shed looks great! [emoji106] nice having the back panels flush. How are the dividing panels fixed at the T junction? Is the angle bolted right through the panel or fixed into the panel itself?
this is about the only thing I would do differently.
I drilled right through and put long m16 bolts straight through, every panel blew out the back even if I drilled with 6mm drill and re drilled from back to inside. (doesn't matter just cosmetics) next time I'm going to resin a bolt into the back panels to attach angle on.

1 suggestion was weld a flat on the station and let the return panel go right to back wall then back wall panels will hold it no need for any angle. <I don't fancy this idea if shed ever re purposed not a smooth back wall.

any suggestions for a project I'm on with for a mate. 2 sheds 17m apart (1.1 height difference). the lower one is a cattle shed with the feed barrier facing the other shed. my idea is to slope the cow shed outside 3m drop about 100mm to a U channel. leaving 14m between drain and top shed at 1.2m in 14m that's 86mm in 1m. does that seem a silly gradient. be better to avoid a step/wall. I think youd still be comfy crossing that with a bale or whatever on prong? gunner grade some hardcore at same slope to see what we think.

any suggestions for u channel, 100mm below cow shed should allow for some water storage should drain be slow or whatever?
