Suggestions for a lockable storage shed around 10ft x 10ft

Ok, so this is an amendment to my last post.

My mum said I should skip the smaller tool box and go straight for a storage shed with room to store and work.

As before I want it lockable but doesn't have to be supremely secure, just to be able to see if tampered.

Also I want it to be modular so I can move it to the other side of the field myself from where it would be dropped off and dismantle if I wanted to at some point. Able to be assembled with manual tools.

Longevity is not really a problem. My original plan was to make something myself but that seems impractical since I want to start working right now.

For price I want lowest I can get while still fulfilling the above criteria, so the compromise can be longevity since I plan to hone my woodworking skills in the interim to maybe be able to make another. If it lasts a couple of years that would be fine and more a bonus.

A lot would depend on what work you are considering as a practical workshop would be different to an office type workspace.

I meant for woodworking and other manual work like that.

Just found a recommendation for asgard sheds. While not the cheapest I am reading they are strong, secure, and importantly easily dismantled. If that is the case I might look at buying a more pricey one with the idea I could always have the option to take with me down the road.

I think the main issues with a metal shed would be condensation and may be very hot in the summer - especially if you are using it as a workshop.

I have a log cabin which is great for me, but wouldn't recommend one for you at all as it would be a nightmare to take apart compared to a 'normal' shed which is built from panels.

Don't care about taking it apart now. Can just chuck a can of petrol on it if wanna get rid.

I am interested again now it making a bender. My mum has given me a largish tarp and have some small trees which I can coppice for a frame so see what I can make from that.

Then that can buy me some time while I learn how to do natural building with something more substantial.

Just make sure you don't get one of those sheds made of lots of thin pieces of corrugated dark green metal that you attach together with thousands of screws. They tend to come in a box that is far smaller than you would believe a shed could fit into.

I did one and it took many hours and drove me to the brink of insanity such that I told the person I was doing it for that I wouldn't assemble another for them even if they paid me £1,000!
