Buying Garden shed online

Y2save

I'm planning to buy a garden shed to store some garden equip, kids cycles etc as I don't have a garage.

My budget is £400 and the size will be a 6x6 or 6x7. Please point me to the right direction for a reliable brand which I can trust. I ruled out local sellers as the one's near my area are not very good in terms of the material and choice of selection.

I know I don't have much money to spend on £1k plus sheds. But I've found good selection of sheds like tiger sheds but some of the reviews are putting me off.

Any helpful suggestions will be of great help.

I have had two sheds from Tiger. Quality is OK(ish), but you get what you pay for. If you go for one with windows, the plastic they use turns yellow pretty quick. It is also well worth taking the time to lay a decent base - I used 100-150mm of hardcore topped with 50mm of concrete. Recycled the hardcore from some lime plaster ceilings I took down. Mixed the concrete by hand - Total cost, under £100.

If you can afford it, go for a 6'x8' minimum and double doors - You'll appreciate the extra space.

Keter is a decent brand. Their 6x6 should be within your budget.

I was looking at Ketter initially and really liked it, but later changed my mind after looking at the variety and options that are available if you choose to go for timber.

I've already got a base ie 7x7 so can't go over that. I was impressed by tiger but their colour is not very comfortable for me. Apart from that I've heard horror stories about their delivery service and the quality of material supplied in the recent past has gone down hill. I've heard it from mulitple sources.

"The colour is not very comfortable"? It's only a shed. Unless it is fluorescent green, why does the colour matter?

At your price point, I'd focus on quality and forget colour.

Himley Sheds are good if you are in the Midlands. (You didn't say where you are).

All the sheds I have had came in a pinkish primer colour. A tin or two of dark oak preservative fixed that.

I bought a Ketter plastic shed rather than a wooden one,the reason - no painting/treating.only gets a wash down now and again.
