I had to clear that area for the retaining wall and ground work, so there's a bit of sun. But there is still a LOT of shade. No danger in it getting too hot I don't think as it's well ventilated (there's a 2" gap along each of the eaves with a fly screen/mesh, 6 opening windows, two opening roof lights and double doors). As for cold, I'm not too worried about that and didn't suffer with condensation in my last, much smaller wooden shed with no insulation. This one has much better ventilation, is raised up off a concrete base with a good fall for water, and it has gutters (which I actually need to fix, now I remember).
Speaking of trees, had a tree surgeon round to quote and will be getting 4 sycamores (1 just in the neighbour's garden that he is paying for) removed which will help the rest of the garden. Will still have a big Oak (which is going to have it's dead limbs removed and the canopy brought in a bit), a large Cherry, a Holly (also getting a haircut), a Chestnut, a BIG Laurel and some other random outgrown shrubs for nature and shade. The tree surgeon charges a 5% surcharge for every tree totally removed which they donate to trees for cities. So hopefully some other beneficial trees go up in lieu of these bastard sycamores.

Also yours is at the back with established trees around right?
My wood one sits right bang in the sunniest spot of the garden. I bought some of that silver insulating foil stuff for the roof to put up at some point to take the edge of. Still on the TDL...
