1. Be sure your Shed or Greenhouse is built in line with those on adjoining plots.

2. Consider your neighbour and avoid creating more shade than necessary.

3. Your Shed/Greenhouse must be of sound construction and your shed must be secure against unwanted entry. Both be fitted with a system of guttering and downpipes to enable water colection.

4. You must fit at least one (1) large water butt, in which to catch and save rainwater from both your Shed and Greenhouse. The ideal is four butts interconnected fited to each structure.
