Its not that hard to put up a shed. Even my OH managed it. All you need is hammer and a enough common sense to put the felt on the right way (that's where my OH was sadly lacking).

We bought one from one of the usual DIY places, but we didn't go for the smallest or cheapest option...as they looked a bit naff.

I've just put up a metal shed with the same idea about future maintenance (10 year guarantee) and also the possibility of dismantling when I move. However, it's soaking wet inside despite spending hours putting silicon sealant over all the screw holes in the roof. I'm not sure if this is rainwater or condensation but I really don't know what else to do.

By the way, if the instructions say it takes 2 people 10 hours to erect, they aren't lying! :eek:

What make was the shed?

Did you put weather tape on the roof?

Did you put the roof screws/bolts in with plastic washers?

I read all this thread and looked at the site recommended garden buildings direct, found a shed i liked and wanted to know when the sale ends. I couldn't see anything on their site, so I rang the freephone number at 6pm, its nearly 6.30pm and i'm still awaiting for "the next available agent".

I'm not impressed, please tell me its just a busy time and not a reflection of their usual sales.

If i've not heard in another 5 mins, i'm hanging up.

Good job its freephone.

Out of interest I rang back and got a recorded message. The opening times are 8.30 - 6pm. I must have dialled just before 6pm and got "held" when they closed the lines.

!!!!!! and very annoying to have sat on the phone for 35 mins for nothing.

Hiya
Thanks to the suggestions of people on this forum, a couple of weeks ago I bought a 6x4 shed from Focus for £85! Well, £80 actually! If you register on the website you get a £5 voucher for a £50 spend. Delivery is not too bad either....

PS: I couldn't find the sheds online - it was an instore price.

Just a tip for sheds - if you can do so, make sure that the roof and floor is not made of chipboard, it will disintegrate when wet. Also, you will have some minor DIY such as trimming etc.

I know this will be well out of date but there is a great site https://www.freecycle.org that has groups all around the globe. Log on and see if there is one in your vacinity - could be that you'd get a shed for free: even if you have to pay for transport it will be cheaper than new, surely? :T

I think I heard of a company called shedsdirect? not too sure on that one-we got ours from argos and I think shedsdirect supplied them-different suppliers for different areas.
