I transformed my old shed that was fit for the skip using old doors – it looks so posh now and I did it all on a budget | The Sun

DO you want to spruce up your garden but don’t want to fork out a fortune?

A woman shared how she transformed her broken old shed into a beautiful gardening station on a very small budget.


Before the shed looked as if it would collapse at any point and didn’t have any doors or walls.

However, the finished result – which was a stylish green potting area –  looked unrecognisable and very posh indeed.

Taking to Reddit, the woman wrote: “Another Budget Makeover! My Potting Shelter.

“I turned this half demolished shed into a potting shelter, by replacing the back wall with old doors, making a bench from the old shed door and pallet wood.”

She then painted the walls black and added a mint green shade to the bench.

The gardening lover continued: “The bench is on hinges, so can be lifted for storage.

“Nearly all the materials were free.”

And how much did she pay for this jaw-dropping transformation? A grand total of £15.
