Pick a shape, any shape... it's 'your' garden office

A month ago I received this picture from a customer. The black rectangle marked out where he wanted to place his building. Believe it or not the black line of that rectangle is 14ft in front of where the two fences meet behind! When I saw this photograph I knew immediately I had to make a site visit.…
