Need a bit more info, Dave.

If your shed has a gable like 1ponders' then there's no difference when it comes to the height of the walls, etc. Paul's shed looks ideal to me. A gable is easier to build strong over a bigger span.

If you were building your own from scratch, then a skillion is far easier to DIY, and you could get quite reasonable spans and lightweight by using stuff like Paroc. But since you're looking at buying a shed and modifying, look for the one that has a complete roof frame as well as complete wall frames like 1ponders'. It will make life much easier.

Al.
the shed panels are prefabbed - and delivered to site - all i have to do is pour the pier bases and the slab (one pour, three sections all seperated by high density foam) erect the frame and then get a 2 c channel beams 8m long with two bracing beams in the middle and two steel poles. Much around and get some contraption made up for the roller assembly to fit on the outside into the c channel and some extra flashing to cover up the gaps and keep the weather out. sounds simple no plans yet, but want to buy one as steel is going up in a weeks time apparently making the sheds about 200 dearer the link to the shed prices is here http://www.colwesternsheds.com.au/fi...heds_sheds.pdf
