I need a shed

[Bollo]

My old shed is knackered. I need something less than 3m x 2m (10'x7' in UKIP money). The shed is visible to neighbours but security isn't a big issue. It'll hold garden stuff and shoot, not bikes. Budget is £800 absolute maximum. Something more modern would suit the house.

This is a serious thread.

Avoid Being&Q Wickes ect.
Have a look locally for a shed supplier as they will build it too.

Your on a tight budget for a really good one

I got a new shed/mancave last year as my old one was rotten and falling down. I went for as big as I could in the space I had. 12x8 superior pent.I got it from a company called Densheds and the quality is good. Not the cheapest but erected as well in the price

This is the best advice, especially if you know of someone with recommendations.

I need a new one too.
Whats best for reducing dampness, wood or metal?
Metal seems obvious but maybe condensation issues that wood would dissipate better?

Correct

Wood - feels much warmer too.

It’s very important to keep the rake and its tooly pals warm

Visit garden buildings direct website. Got both my shed and summer house from them and have been rather pleased all round.

Definitely have a shop around as what you get varies so much. I spent ages looking around and most places cut a corner somewhere or over charged for what you recieved. Be it chip board roof, paper thin T&G, non pressure treated. We had our shed made bespoke by a company in Birmingham. 20x10 pressure treated, from memory it was 25+mm T&G clad, 30mm floor timber, 19mm T&G roof, internal wall, 6ft doors, higher roof, wider shed door etc and for £1800 delivered. So £800 should get you a good shed.

Here's mine, 10ft by 6ft security shed with internal sheffield stand bolted to concrete base. Built by local Bristol firm, cost about £700 back in 2010. Go to a reputable local firm and get a security one if you store bikes in it. BTW, this was Bristol in March!. Painted it myself, relaid new felt on roof in 2017. Great shed.

How about a nice steel Yardmaster?
The savings you can get online are incredible.
