Default B&Q Sheds

Looking to spend about £250 on a shed and B&Q seem to have some good deals but are they really?

Anyone bought one and have an opinion?

Homebase/B&Q sheds are really, really bad quality for the price, the feather edge types in particular.

Build you own is what I would say, you could than have it as big or small as you like, with money left over to insulate it, have glass windows and a slate roof.

Forget B&Q mate - was nearly killed by a B&Q shed about 2 years ago at holywood exchange. Stepped out of my car as the wind blew one of their display sheds across the trade carpark missing me by a matter of feet. It hit the kerb at about 25mph and disintegrated.

That shed accelerated quicker than your alfa....

was looking at the sheds from B&Q, really not good quality at all, ended up paying more and getting one from a place called titan sheds, got an ex demo one and is a million times more sturdy and better quality

Seek out a local timber yard type place that makes them. We were recommended one by the bloke who did our fence. Way cheaper and better quality than anything I'd seen on the 'net, B&Q etc.

Better avoid the Italian ones-they go rusty!
