January 29, 200818 yr I'm running out of space and looking to get a good shed/workshop built. Does anyone have any tips for good suppliers? Maybe even someone who will put a base down at the same time. I'm getting to that age where a shed is an attractive proposition. Cheers, Glenn.
January 30, 200818 yr Aah, so you too are finding the wife more and more annoying! PM Dabster, he can build your clubhouse in the back withe the flatscreens and stereo!
January 30, 200818 yr Almoost forgot, be sure to run enough electrical tho run beer cooler and air compressor at the same time! You can just run the long funnel through the wall to the bucket after the inspector leaves!
January 30, 200818 yr Over here in are area you just go and see a amish farmer.will build you a nice shed and send the boys with it on a wagon to your house.That reminds me I better get one on order.JR
January 30, 200818 yr Author Bit short on Amish folk over here regrettably! Wife seems surprisingly keen on my getting a shed too for some reason. Has suggested that the xbox goes in there too and even offered to fund central heating for it! Well, a gas fire at least. I wonder why? Perhaps she can see endless evenings of undisturbed Hollyoaks and strictly come dancing without me moaning and watching bike DVD's. (Least I hope that's her motivation)
February 3, 200818 yr Don't buy a shed from B & Q. Mine is dreadful. I reinforced the floor with extra bearers to support it and the floor still bent so I laid down loft flooring. The walls are just as bendy so I loft floored them as well. The roof sags in the middle and the felt they give you for the roof is as thin as tracing paper. If you can find a local company that specialises in sheds, get one from there.
February 3, 200818 yr Maybe you want a wooden shed for a workshop, but I bought a metal 'Yardmaster' shed for around
February 6, 200818 yr If I was choosing a shed just for my bikes i'd be looking for the most lockable/security orientated shed available, something thats goiing to put 240volts up some bike thiefs jacksy when he comes into contact with the door handle

February 6, 200818 yr Avoid a yardmaster unless you have loads of time, the bigger they are the more difficult to put up. Hmmmm....maybe time has faded the memory. I do remember it being a bit of a job at the time and ours is only about 11 foot square. Just got to be methodical and take your time with the instructions. I agree though, don't underestimate it. On the other hand, it's been solid as a rock since.
February 7, 200818 yr I've got a yardmaster shed & the instructions were ****e, I draw sheds of a slightly bigger kind for a living & if I produced the same instructions that yardmaster give I wouldn't get much work. As far as I'm concerned it's a garden shed for pots & stuff & the patio gear through winter, it's about as secure as a tent for keeping your bike in. Save your money & get some bricks & mortar stood up, it's surprising what you can do without planning permission.
February 8, 200818 yr Water proof, secure, god damn ugly but a good shed if you've got an oul yard somewhere. Link: http://www.mrbox.co.uk/gallery06-used20ft-cont.html Conor Edited February 8, 200818 yr by ronoc88
