A narrow lean-to profile with a single-slope roof, built for the strip of ground alongside an existing structure or fence line where nothing else fits. The 6' wide model in particular solves a problem most sheds cannot.
Worth knowing
The single slope means water runs off one side, so plan which way it faces relative to a path or a neighbouring wall. Double doors sit on the front sidewall, giving full-width access despite the narrow footprint.

Floor plans
The floor plan sets where the doors and windows go. This model is offered in 2 plans — the same building, laid out differently. Tell us how you will approach it and what goes inside, and the right one is usually obvious.
