    Having just retrieved my shed from next doors garden, it’s time for a new one.
    Nothing too fancy, it’ll be for ride on mower, garden tools, kids outdoor toys etc not for bikes. Security not much of an issue as carrying the mower over a large wall / stream will deter most, and I’m not tackling any that are big enough to manage it!
    Looking for 10×10 or more (space not an issue) and a large double door on it. Budget £500 delivered (as that’ll be the insurance payout)

    Tiger sheds but you will need a bigger budget.

    Bump. Any more suggestions as needing a shed ASAP to use as a small workshop. 16×8 and cheap as will only be needed for a couple of years.

    Cheapest option so fat: £579 for overlap with OSB floor http://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/Wooden-Sheds/The-BillyOh-400-Range

    Or £690 for T&G walls and floor: http://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/Wooden-Sheds/The-4000-Range

    Or £727 for T&G walls and floor and beefier frame: http://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/Wooden-Sheds/The-BillyOh-5000-Range

    Or £810 for a Tiger shed: http://www.tigersheds.com/product_detail.asp?prod=157

    If you want it to self destruct after 2 years, those should be perfect 🙂

    When I was looking…
    1) The BillyOh expensive range were built out of crap, let alone the cheap range.
    2) Most off-the-shelf cheap sheds are built from materials that are so crap, you can’t even buy them. The glazing they use on the 400 series is 1.2mm! They seem to have stopped stating the thickness of the cladding, but I seem to remember it was something ridiculous like 9mm or something.

    My advice would be to find a local shed place – look at the sheds in the flesh then choose one. I know of a good one near my in-laws in Selby if that’s of any use. Probably double the thicknesses of materials for about 20% more cash (£400 for a 6×8).

    Down in Bristol if anyone has any suggestions.

    We actually need 2, one 16×8 for my work and a smaller one 6×8 or so for the OH to store all the garden junk and her cheap bike.

    Just gone through the same process, wanted a fully tanalised building and I’m now waiting for my new shed to be delivered from Malvern timber buildings.
    11 x 9 costs £740 delivered and erected but you’ll also need to build a base which costs a fair bit too!!

    My research has led me to believe that my budget is completely inadequate, so I’m linking it into an extension I’m doing and putting a stable / mini hay barn in the garden instead and going completely over the top in true stw fashion!
