Would like to build my own shed in lieu of a garage - about 4 by 2.5 m

At risk of sounding like Blue Peter, here is one I made earlier:

The only point I would make about the construction is that, when I built a
30 sq metre shed (to make a snooker room for a 9' x 4'6" snooker table), I
used cut to length and pressure impregnated timber for the base and floor.
In theory, pressure impregnated timber has a 15 year life expectancy, while
timber painted with wood preservative, which we used for the shed itself,
has a 10 year life expectancy. The snooker room went up in 1982. The floor
is still in good condition, but the shed is showing its age in places and it
will need its third roof if it is to survive much longer. The current owner
of the house is having it fitted out as her office.
