Looking for help on garden sheds!!!

 
Hello,

Im a student studying at Southampton University for a degree in Produc
Design and for my final project I am loooking into the design of garde
sheds. My aim is to produce a new product that is styled to fit in wit
the modern garden design currently becoming popular.
To understand exactly what I need to incorporate into my design t
create a successful product I was hoping some keen gardeners would tak
the time to fill out a questionairre for me. I would be truly greatful
and it would help a great deal.
Thankyou very much

General storage of crap that has nowhere else to be stored.

Rusty paint tins which once held water to keep the paintbrushes from drying
out, with which you could now use to knock nails in.
A bag of tentpegs from a tent I once owned.
Large roll of polythene sheeting.
Buckets, boxes, pieces of wood, glass jars of rust which were once screws or
nails (see paintbrush)

It's a brick shed with concrete roof, it's been painted white inside to
highlight the spiders better.

::
Electricity added.

Traditional.

It's a carbuncle but the council won't let us knock it down.
