Big shed, unusual size, required

duncan32

Hello all,

I've decided to get a new shed. We currently have a 6 x 4 shed, but it is too small for what we have in it. The space that we have available could take a shed up to 5 foot wide and about 8 or 9 foot long (or maybe a bit more). I've looked on the net and can't find anything other than the standard sizes (nearest is 5 foot by 7 foot, which wouldn't improve my situation by a lot!).

Anyway, hopefully someone might have a bit of knowledge on this?

Thanks in advance.

Try a few companies on ebay - I got my shed off of there, sent them the dimensions etc and they then provided a good price.

I ended up getting a 14x8 shed with two windows, a double side door under the eves and one door on the side - all in including delivery and erection came to £650! :j

Wow, that sounds good. I'll check it out now. Just type sheds on ebay?

Thanks,

Phone a few local companies for brochures. During the summer I had a new shed & needed a non standard size. I found a couple of companies that made up non standard size sheds. One of the companies came round to look at where I wanted the shed & made suggestions as to the best size for the space available. They took the old shed down & everything away as well, which was one of the reasons I decided to go with them.

Beware of the cheaper woods as a shed made from a cheaper wood won't give you such a long life & will need more maintenance.

Build your own? Then you can have it exactly the size you want to fit the space available.
Get the extra wood cheaply (good wood cheaper, not cheap wood) from a local timber yard/merchant and utilise existing windows/doors etc from existing shed to keep costs down.
If you are not a confident DIYer, get a local 'handyman' in.

there are free designs on the net.
once youve made one panel, ( say 6x4 ), its easy to scale it up to the size you require. then just bolt it all together.

Hi

Well made sheds from Florada. modular so you fit doors and windows on any side you want. Only downside is you paint /preservative coat it yourself.

I'm up with the handyman thing.

Put a add in local supermarket for a handyman / ex-joiner.

Its pretty amazing watch these people work.


We had one fit our inner front door (an external one), used hand-drill, manual plane etc..

I would build my own. But then, I like building sheds. Not necessarily any cheaper than getting a ready made one. But much stronger and very satisfying. It ain't rocket science. Surprisingly few tools required too.

Just looked through my emails it was a company called timberlux on eBay turns out it was £560 and £60 delivery and erection company up the road wanted £1200 !! It was 3x2 timber t&g two week lead time. Hope this helps

could always build one with concrete blocks and clad the outside with timber cladding , makes a very strong shed and looks like a shed to whatever size you want
