Self assembly steel garage?

I'm looking at options for storage of my classic car over the winter and i'm looking at getting a steel garage.

Local company options seem to come in at around £4K and whilst the garages look robust they're probably offering more than i actually need.

The space i'm thinking of is nicely tucked out of sight, shielded from the wind on two sides and a concrete base already there to fix it to.

I've seen stuff like this Absco one online which would appear to fit the bill for under £1300 delivered.

Anyone any experience of ABSCO or similar brands bought online? Limiting factor is i live in NI so not all suppliers deliver here (but that one does)

    Seems to be a lack of venting, I'd be concerned anything in there will get damp/rust. And the link is to one that seems a bit short. The 10x20 is £60 more.

    EDIT:
    Some of the other sheds either have gable vents or show pictures of gaps where the roof and walls meet, so ventilation but not screened to keep bugs out.

    Our neighbours bought a DIY metal shed because access to the area was tight.  It was an absolute swine to erect, with the roof being the biggest problem.  The manufacturers clearly expect it to be constructed somewhere with plenty of access all round.
