Shed Recommendations/Advice

Kunoichi73

Hi All,

We have just moved into a new house which, unfortunately, does not have a garage or a usable shed. In the previous place we had a large garage that I used for my home gym so I need to get a shed asap to replace it. I was wondering if anyone could recommend brands of shed or a shed manufacturer (if possible in the Merseyside area) or at least give me some idea of places to avoid or what to consider when buying my shed. Thank you in advance.

Try to find a local company that makes things like this using pressure treated wood.

Get a proper tongue and groove shed from a local supplier and not diy places as a rule. One thing even a decent shed gets often let down is the roof they often use cheap felt which doesn't last very long mine lasted 18 months with a couple of leaks. I ended up in Feb replacing felt with EPDM. The shed is fine though tongue and groove just a quick coat of wood preservative every year or so. Also make sure shed us slightly off the ground to prevent the floor getting rotten. I used old roof slates

Thought about a shipping container, they come in various sizes?

I did think about it as a possible option, but there's no way to get one into the back garden.

Crane over the house.


As above make sure the roof is a decent one as that will be the thing to go first if it is felt.

I went for CORRUGATED BITUMEN SHEET
