3m x 3m shed
As the title says , wanting to build a 3m square shed on the back of my new garage . I can buy a steel one for approx 500 quid . Struggling to get
under that for timber unless I use reclaimed pallets / scaffold boards. It's only 3 sided . Any suggestions or pointers greatly appreciated

I'd be surprised if external ply was good enough. Would need treating.

Im half way thru doing a fairly sturdy 4x2 timber shed from scratch. Spent about 450 to date on frame, panels, paint and screws/ironmongery, and
budgeting for a further 2-300 on conc base, osb/felt roof and glazing.

I'd have thought 4x2 timber frame roofed with exterior ply and felt with sides clad in overlapping horizontal exterior feather edge planks.
Material cost must be sub £500 and build it yourself - finish it with an exterior grade fence type sealant and perhaps guttering to control rainwater
flow. For my money a hardcore and concrete base would have to go down raising the shed off the soil to prevent rain soaking in and give you a solid
floor.

I had the same space so built this;
started by using some treated rails screwed to the fence posts

Then screwed onto that some 15mm OSB3 sheets which are external structural grade
 
Description
3 x 2 studding to make the roof
 
Description
 
Description
Visqueen down and 3" of concrete poured.
Roof sheets are reclaimed ones from a farmer friend
 
Description
 
Description
Studding used to make a frame at the front
OSB screwed to the inner front wall
 
Description
Then front covered with shiplap and painted with cuprinol wood paint. Door made the same way.
Here's the finished article

Not too sure on cost but probably under £500

My biggest (only) concern with that is the water running off the roof into the gap between the fence / side. It will get wet and have no way of drying
out.

From experience gutters and rainwater control are necessary. Wet wood rots quickly and the interior space can get wet too.

careful with the metal sheds as the condensation can be a nightmare!
