Questions on building 1st shed...

I'm looking to buy a 15' by 5' (450cm x 150cm) shed in a narrow space beside my house. Shed will have no windows as there's walls on either side and a double door on the narrow end.

Can I assemble a shed from the inside? There's no access from the sides, easy access from one narrow side and limited access from the other narrow side. How many people would it require to build it? I'm fit but a little old.

I was going to level the ground, put down sand then a plastic plant membrane then a plastic grid (50cm square and 4cm deep), then fill with pea gravel. Roughly how much sand gravel etc would I need?

Does anyone have a shed of these rough dimensions and do they actually find them useful for storage?

I was wondering about getting at each narrow end of the shed if that's possible. Would that make it structurally unsound?

I live by the sea and there can be quite a lot of wind blowing through the passage where the shed will stand. Is there anything I should to keep it safe?

Thanks for any input

Is a long narrow shed useful?

Long narrow - useful?

I live in a house with little space for storage. I'm looking for space to store camping gear, bicycle and gardening equipment etc. I could possibly fit a 15' long by 5' wide (460cm x 150cm) shed in this narrow space but there'd be almost no border space around the shed.

Is a shed with these dimensions actually useful? I have a recently installed monocouche rendering on the house wall which is supposed to be waterproof but would having the shed so close cause damp issues? 'm guessing a pent roof style wood be better to keep the rain off the house. Because I'd be inserting a shed into a tight space - can you actually build a shed from the inside out? Would a metal shed be better?

Sorry for all the questions.
