Garden Shed

Hi
We have a really old decrepit garden shed with asbestos roof and 2 concrete sides whcih needs to go. It currently only houses a load of rubbish really, as it leaks too!

We are looking at either a wood shed (about £500 odd large shed), or re-using the concrete side panels and getting new ones made or bought for the front & back.

Shed is currently about 16ft x 8ft (approx).

Any peeps out there who might be able to advise on which would be the better option and rough estimates of costs for West Midlands.

We don't have any real storage in the house, so I do want something secure that will last and put proper things in there rather than just hiding the rubbish!

Thanks for any replies:beer:

    Repair or rebuild the concrete one over a wood one anyday.
  • Hello

    Last year I purchased a shed from "Viking Sheds" just outside Stafford by the M6. Very well made and kind of easy to put together. They delivered it with no problems up to me here in North Wales, the Weat Mids should be a piece of cake !

  • I have just bought a Keter UPVC shed off eBay. Although they said it was a 2 man build I did it myself in one day. It will never rot or need painting. Cost me £800 but I am very pleased with it.
