My wooden garden shed is leaning sharply to the right,how do i put it right?
I had shelves fixed to the left side of the shed and towards the rear of the shed,which i have now removed.
would these make the shed lean to the right?
I can now move the shed back to its original upright position but i need to fix something to make it permanent.Where is the best place to start?

Plasterboard over ceramic tiles ?

Expansion tank overflow

I would nail / screw 2x2 battens about a third up from the floor and a third down from the roof of shed from left to right ( or vice versa ) across the back and sides of shed , should strengthen it well i think

You probably need some metal angle brackets fixing to the horizontal frame members in the corners like these.

I would also nail/screw in a few diagonals where possible to lock in position. Wedge the shed square and plumb from the outside with a couple of props first.

the shed needs bracing properly in all corners. if you are not sure how to do this employ a joiner to brace the shed for you.
