Any reason i should not build a shed in the same way i build a fether
edge fence (but with 4 sides a door and a roof)?
Assuming you mean with vertical boards, then it is not a good idea as it
wont be waterproof.

Not quite so. I built my shed with vertical boards and it is perfectly
waterproof, T&G mind not featheredge.

I do know of a garage type structure built with standard 6'x6' fencing
panels for walls, fixed to standard 4"x4" wooden posts sunk into the ground
in the usual fencing manner. The guy then reinforced the top with some 4"x2"
as a sort of wall plate and added a corrugated plastic roof. It served
perfectly as a shelter for his old tractor and stationery engines for many
years. The plastic roof blew off after a few years and he replaced it with
steel cladding offcuts which lasted much longer. I have not travelled that
way lately but next time I do I will look to see if its still there.
