Some of it's frugal and some of it's not, but maybe of some assistance to those who want that extra room outside, a view of the Garden, a view of the Chickens when they're out or just somewhere else other than the house.
Facing through the door..

[/center]The Shed I brought is an 8' x 6' windowless type.
I didn't get one with a window because I wanted to do that myself, making it small enough that it would be difficult for someone to get through.
I had a double glazed Unit from somewhere and built it upon that spec.
The ceiling is foam backed Radiator Reflector, I only have a 40w bulb, so this reflects quite good light, plus helps to retain heat etc.
I didn't find sufficient old wood to do all the walls, but used left over plasterboard from the big house opposite to do the two longer lengths.
This also adds to security. Thiefs don't always get through a shed door or window, they just pull the slats off the sides of the shed.
Doing it this way at least slows them up!
The main length of desk is actually a Door and supported by bits of wood from a Skip.
The whole L shaped work top is covered in that very cheap cord Carpet, again a left over from one of the bedrooms here.
The Pen Tidy is made from Toilet Roll inners stuck into a flowerpot base!
The Bookstand is just knocked up from bits, handy when I'm researching and whatever.
One of the Monitors was given to me, the other I paid for. The Workhorse Dell Laptop is about five years old and has the two monitors connected to it.
(All my website work is indoors and I network it here)
Underneath is an old camp bed, or part of one, with Leo's oild Sleeping Bag on it for Big Ron to sleep on!
The Seat is non frugal - because I'm worth it!!
Looking the other way.

[/center]The Base Unit is one of my Mother's old Kitchen Units.
The tall CD Rack was in a Skip.
The Whiteboard was being chucked out from work.
The Radiator was my daughters and has a low wattage switch.
Next to the Door is a battery operated very loud alarm. I have one or two other security measures as well, but obviously would not divulge what they are on the public bit of Forum!
Everything using wood is recycled from something or other. The Vinyl Floor was an offcut from Mothers new Kitchen Floor.
Beside the Office Chair and PC Equipment, the whole thing was the price of the Shed, at that time £189 from Garden Buildings Direct[/b]
May give some food for thought.
