Going to buy a great big double buggy.

I'll have nowhere to store it. Too big for our car boot, and we don't have a porch or garage. What we do have is loads of outdoors space that is completely secure (live in boarding school in middle of nowhere).

I want something solid that I can just push buggy into which will protect it from elements. Doesn't need to look ace but we do share garden with school chaplain so dh's idea of tarpaulin sheet and bricks isn't a goer.

I am thinking a a three-sided structure with roof of sorts.

and here's the main bit. neither dh nor i can do this kind of building practical stuff.

what do you think? it needs to be free or £50 max. have looked at sheds and the like on web but all too costly. umm, is there anything else i could google? or how would i make it?

any ideas welcome?

Even the bits for a basic shelter (roof no sides) would cost more that £50 - if you are thinking correguated plastic on a wooden frame

Freecycle might help for a shed?

ebay had a couple of local plastic sheds going very cheap. but they terrify me. will check out freecycle.

fencing stakes in ground, timber on top, lined with tarpaulin?

Anything with tarpaulin will rip and not be damp proof - you will get mildew

you could try looking for bike storage or a bike shed - that's what all the nurseries and childminders around here use.
