Perhaps you could build the new shed on top of the old one and have a spiral staircase between the two. Or just dig below the old shed so it has a basement. Or fit casters to the new shed so you could tow it behind your car.

yes my grandad once did it, he had 2 sheds i think they was sumthing like 15x10 foot,
he put them side by side, bolted them together then made a doorway between the 2 inside, blocked 1 of the front doors off so it only had 1 front door and when you walk into that you had like an arch way inside into the other shed

is that what u mean ?

you can see there isnt any sign of dampness anywhere, the chipwood holding up to it as well as toilet roll.
ive had a few really bad spots that had to be done again with plywood which if your paneling the inside of the shed is the stuff to use:

Can I borrow a 10mm ring-spanner please?

Shed-wise bang 'em together and bosh a hole through - just watch where the two roofs meet as it'll make a valley and be tricky to seal from rainwater leaks. If the structure goes a bit wobbly then beef it up with more timber :D
