Photo of the shed. It was raining and I was in my slippers so not got one of the Windows. They're basically two holes in the roof about 60x90cm each. Polycarbonate conservatory panels screwed on to the upstands.
Shed isn't finished by the way - needs some trim around the door etc. Taking me ages as I'm doing it all single handed

Ah, on a related note, I've just finished building a posh shed (garden office) and my thoughts have turned to security. Wall construction is: cladding - OSB - kingspan - OSB and the only door is a lockable upvc French door thing. The weak spot is the polycarbonate skylights, which are just those double wall sheets screwed to the upstands (roof same construction as walls more or less).
Should I worry about the skylights? Should I alarm it? That link posted above has some good advice. Chiefly that it's best to not rely on an alarm and to keep baddies on the outside of the building. A moat, perhaps?
