    Default My very secure DIY shed

    I want to build a very secure shed.
    So I designed it on Qcad (free 2d software)

    looks amazing but it can be seen from the street, Light-Proof, insulated with 100mm earth-wool in the walls, ceiling, base and the door covered in thick DPM

    The door a total over kill at 6" but it a real soil wood door (frame and edges of door are made of 4"x 4")(going to add 2 dead locks, (top and bottom)
    The sheds has a CCTV cams pointing at them.

    There going to be door on the veg/flower room so no light or smell should get out of the shed.

    Am I being paranoid or do you think it looks like a shed built for growing weed.

    Completed the shed the other day, just sorting out the grow area's

    Being innocent (as I am!) So long as a shed in a garden looks, 'shedish' I wouldn't give it a 2nd thought!

    A warehouse was getting rid of 90cm x 2.7m x 22mm chipboard for £6 each so I picked up 21 sheets

    It looks like a large summer house with no windows, so a few people do stop and stare at the shed.

    Any case, can't wait to get this finished. alway wanted to do a grow with a gravita pro de 1000w.
    Thinking my 1.7m x 1m x 2.1 room should be a good size for the light, any advice with this light would. be great.

    Hi Keepitsimple Stick a bit of trellis on the sides and grow some jasmine and honeysuckle around, most people only look because its new or they would like to have one. make sure your electrics are sound and running through a circuit breaker not just an extension lead run from the house. Good luck with it bud.

    I have external cable running from the fuse box (32 amp) into the old shed so was going to wire that up into the new shed.
    Going to use less than 3kw

    Great advice wih the trellis, will do this with the ivy in the garden.
