Free: Outdoor storage in (need of repair) (Witton le Wear DL15) Wooden mini shed measuring 100cm high, 88cm wide, 46cm deep (approximately). It needs some work - torrential rain (remember rain?!) has ruined the top, but I think it could be replaced with some marine ply and roofing felt. The rest is in reasonable condition though needs a good clean, and a coat of paint or varnish. Not perfect by any means but it’s compact and useful and I think it would do up nicely. It will be empty in time for collection! Sat/Sun collection only please, from near Witton le Wear.
