Which Shed To Buy? Puzzled!

I am moving into a new house and want to buy a value for money shed. Do you have any ideas??

I have been on the web a few times but not really seen one etc and only really want to spend up to £200.

    be aware that you really do get what you pay for. I was recently looking for a large shed and to be honest when you start to compare thickness and quality, you need to be prepared to pay a bit extra for quality and durability. I nearly ordered one on-line until I read a post here about someone who had bought one from the same company and ended up re-inforcing the panels and doors!

    How about something like this? Is metallic so you don't need to keep painting it year after year, which then helps save on the maintenance costs? It's a little more than what you're looking to pay. But it looks good from my point of view. Looking at buying one like that myself when I move. Any other people had any experience of these? Are they good, or not worth getting?

    I just bought a metal yardmaster off ebay - cost me £150 for a 10'by6' shed (rrp about £350!)

    Took a day and half to put up and well pleased with it :)

    Think about what your going to use it for.
    I have had metal and wooden sheds in the past but for different reasons.

    Wooden sheds are great for garden type stuff, and its easy to set up shelves and hang tools from beams etc.

    This is not so easy to do with a metal shed. However i once had to put a washing machine outside and knowing it would vibrate a wooden shed to bits, i put it inside a metal one and it was fine.

    As i said, think about what you want to use it for before you make your choice on metal / wood then decide on quality level.

    In wood, tongue and groove is usually more costly than shiplap but in my view shiplap is easy to repair and cheaper to buy.
