We provided precise descriptions of all the modified parts and that must have helped to keep the costs down. That is, Shed City did not provide a "custom observatory design service". If you want to go down the garden shed path, I would inspect and study standard models, ask for the CAD drawings or take a tape measure, and then carefully decide on the modifications so you can tell the manufacturer exactly what you want.

Just looked through your photos- the shed looks really good. i also have an EQ6 and do not really want a pier.
I am not mechanically minded (

) so just wondering if you have those original plans and if you are willing to share / sell them? and I live in Melbourne so Kilmore is easy to get to.
the design
seems more simple than some other roll-off roof designs, although i think a lot of thought went into it...
cheers!
