Pre-fab pop-up shed

Question: What if you know you'll need a shed to store stuff in, but you don't have access to the place where you'll need you use it?

Answer: Build it in advance as a pre-fabricated building... (duh, of course!)

Here's a shed built from 8 pine interior doors, built in less than 2 hours...
(It also used a tarpaulin as cover, but this is not shown here)

Doors can be obtained from your locally available selection of skips, dumpsters, freeads and other such reputable outlets. These babies were from someone doing their house up and wanting rid of some "old-fashioned" doors.

Works for me. That's what roof-racks are for. Strap 'em on...

You get free hinges too...

Here they are in the garden

Doors are instant panelled walls  - handy!

There's probably an app called Shedify. I hope so. It will be shit. To actually shedify stuff, you need tools, preferably power tools...

So you rout rebates

Which. luckily do NOT need to be neat and tidy

For this shed, The doors are paired together using their old hinges...

You can make walls like this in minutes with just 6 hinges...

 A few more doors, a shed-end...

The corners were secured with some 4" screws.
Pine splits easily, so pilot holes are advised.

Then whack in the screws

You can use position two hinged doors easily by putting them at 90 degrees. This allows you to position them without holding the weight.

This is the back wall. It is hinged at the front and has this radiator wall mount as a brace on the back.

The rest of the pop-up shed  was built from old floor joists scrounged from a skip

These were way too big for what I needed, so I ripped them down into smaller-profile pieces

Thus...

Until I had a load of 2" x 1" section lengths

These were going to be used to knock up some simple pin-jointed frames and these would form the joist and rafters of each.

Here are some bolts recycled from a deconstructed sofa for the connecting pins.

Three baulks hinged into a roof triangle...

Nearly there...

ta-da! This method took less than two hours to create a collapsible, portable storage unit.
It takes about 10 minutes to take down or put back up. There are just 2 screws holding each roof frame on. The walls are kept as hinged pairs of doors, and jointed togerth with extra hinges. It is that simple

And finally, here it is in its new location...

Ready to roll in no time...
