I have a 8 ×10 garden shed that I won't go in until the weather gets better. The electric bills in California are ridiculous. The so called garage we have is so about to fall apart. No window but a huge hole where there should be one. Holes in the roof bc they used metal roofing that has holes in it. It's crazy.
Yikes! That does not sound good.
If you replace the metal roof, you might be able to use the metal panels to make some raised beds. When the cost of wood was more expensive than gold, I build some raised beds using galvanized steel roofing panels instead of wood. I just used some salvaged wood to build the frame and the steel was used for the sides.
Here is a picture of one of my galvanized steel panel raised beds that I was setting up with some hügelkultur wood...
At the time, I think I spent about $30 for the steel panels whereas the cost of building it with all wood was over $100.00 at that time.
Anyways, if you replace that leaky steel roof on your garage you might be able to reuse those steel panels in a raised bed. Holes in the steel won't matter.
