Which shed?

I want a new shed. I have found the size and style I want on Ebay at a good (I think) price. I have shortlist of two, one is 13mm T&G for £650 and the other is 19mm shiplap for £900. Is there a lot of difference in quality between the two thicknesses?

    You really need to see the product to judge the quality. Find a local supplier.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    Too true.

    I bought my shed before seeing it - I wish I hadn't.
    It's not as tall as my old shed.

    I went for T&G all round (roof, sides, floor) as it's stronger.
