There is virtually no way to have a forge under a shed without having a very high risk of burning it down unless maybe the shed is two stories high. I got around that by very carefully placing sheets of steel roof paneling above my forge in such a way as to guide the hot air out from under the shed roof, around the plastic roofing on the shed, and out into the open air. This is tricky to accomplish but it is possible. However, if you have a forge that is hot enough to actually use for blade forging then it is more than hot enough to light a wood roof that might be 4 ft above it....
