Oxford Wood Recycling
The arrival of two sheds just now in the shop will surely be the cause of some excitement, admittedly one is a Wendy house but it could be used for garden tools too.
Approx dimensions and suggested prices are shown in the pictures. Neither shed has any glazing fitted and both will need some repairs. The bigger one does have double doors (not illustrated).
*Viewing recommend* for the large shed and sorry we are unable to reserve.
