knocked down price and pretty shoddy construction I would say.

I got from one B&Q last year, £270 which included a base and windows and boy was it a crap construction. I had to re do the base myself and then brace every bit , seal the floor and add extra bits just to get it half decent.

But now mine should last a few years.

Overlapped wood, no floor, needs staining/treating after construction, looks just like a Billy-Oh, which is complete ****.

EFA.

I'd recommend going on the shed forums. They'll know what they are talking about on there.

My advice is to avoid the Billy-Ohs from gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk and parent company Kybotech.

Find someone who sends out panels which don't have faults/holes in, and will send out replacements next day.

Have a look at these:

http://www.tigersheds.com

http://www.hartstimber.com

I've been looking for a while, will definately be a shiplap and I'm liking the security sheds. Harts do a raised apex option too. Not cheap but you get what you pay for after reading plenty of reviews.

Get the biggest you can,
spend at least £50 onlocks, and put net curtains and mesh against any windows,
dont go mad trying to put power in there if its only a few feet from the house

I've just put a shed up for a couple we did some work for before Xmas, that she'd was made by billyoh, they had bought it off eBay and it was complete ****e, it was so cheap you could pick the 8x4 shed up even with the roof on might aswell have been made from cardboard.

You definately get what you pay for in this department.

My advice would be to build your own if you had time, although I build sheds for fun for my hens etc, my current one being approx 25x12, flagged floor, 6x2 timber frame, ply skin and tin sheet roof with upvc door for security. That lot cost me about £500 all in but I did have a lot of stuff already and access to most being a builder.

By the time you've messed about with treating and repairing a wooden shed you'd be better off putting one together out of blocks and a few tiles. There isn't much of a price difference if you compare block built to a decent wooden shed that won't melt or blow away. Anything less than decent is really a waste of money and you'll just be disappointed.

How do you say your name? I'm saying shed to fit in with this thread

These are assembled by real people, not complete muppets like me.

Somewhere on their site they have a picture of a pent roof shed with a pallet of wood on the roof (sure it was 2 tonnes worth).

Their pressure treated bases are also good value by the look of it.
When we moved into our house there was a 12x10 metal shed here, it's in the wrong location as well as being orientated the wrong way!
I am toying with the idea of reducing it to 10x8 which would be a better size for where it's going but it's a lot of hassle, it needs a coat of hammerite, it's not the best looking thing either, plus it's cold and metal sheds get condensation in them.
I'm thinking of a 12x8 super apex security shed from Harts, then once it's up I can move stuff across from the current one and have a sort out then sell the metal one on - buyer dismantles and collects.
