I want to buy a Shed

UKJubilee_2

Have looked at the ones in B&Q and compared them to ones in a Garden Center...B&Q prices are fine but the quality is dismal.

We are looking for wooden garden sheds with Tounge and groove flooring and Roof (not OSB), it needs to be 7 by 5, 7 by 6, 7 by 7 or max 8 by 6 to suit our needs and fit the space we have.

To give an example of the kind of thing we want, we found a lovely pent here http://www.atlassheds.co.uk but they will not deliver to the SW. Does anyone know any companies in the South West (we are in Bristol) that will deliver (and preferably) erect a good quality shed?



Thanking you all in advance for your help

Hi we bought a new one last year.We saw an advert in local paper 8x6 delivered and erected for £160.We went to a local garden centre were they must be agents for a company like the one you mentioned.
Have a look to see if a company advertises in your area.We`re pleased with our shed, much better quality than the B&Q ones.

Oh Dear.

It is SOoooo much cheaper to build your own and a load of fun too.
You can make it exactly the size required and choose the design i.e. window placement door position etc.

Lots of info & instructions on the 'net'. LOOK HERE for example.

Will take about a morning to construct after laying the base. Few hand tools and very little skill reqd.

I am about to construct a 18' X 30' Shed/barn 14' high. (Yep, ' = feet)

The sense of satisfaction far outweighs the savings, too.

Go on. Be brave.

Building one is OK but when I worked out the costs to build an 8' x 6' compared to buying a ready made, there wasn't much in it. I even chased the wood down to the importers to try and get it cheaper. Trouble I found was that most DIY mechants can buy in bulk, hence are able to drive the costs down. Then you have to consider the cost of the screws/nails, roofing felt etc. However, if you've got a source to get the bits cheap then go for it.

I ended up getting a second hand one from the local paper that was only 6 months old, half the price and in perfect condition.

Ditto

My local paper (Liverpool Echo) normally has adverts for sheds on the back page.
Ask your neighbours where they bought their sheds from, as different firms have differnet quality/build standards. When I moved house and got the 10' x 8' shed moved I was astonished to find the shed errector had only used 2 nails per side to fix the sides to the base :mad:
