Yes I did say it was tatty... The only entrance in is a half size hobbit door I made in a narrow wooden side panel.

So its concrete on 3 walls.. Front up and over door screwed shut... And bottom 3ft of a full height two foot wide wooden panel is now a door.

So to get in you need to know the bottoms a door which isnt obvious... Bend double and once your in the light doesn't work.. And the bikes are chained up.. If it didnt leak like a sieve and take up half the garden.. I wouldn't have a medium term plan of knocking it down.

Cable snapped on one side of our up and over last year. Damn door nearly fell off. Got a new cable at B&Q and some small cable clamps. Re_thredded cable and tightened up tension and proceded to open door. Took a few goes at pulling more cable through until both sides rose evenly.
