Title: Garden sheds
Post by: The Worker on August 18, 2014, 05:55:13 PM
After a 8x6 t&g shed for the garden for lawn mower, golf clubs etc.

Anyone reccomend any decent suppliers in the north that deliver and install? Thanks

In the north these are known as Garden "Shades!"

Is wooden or metal best?
Want to get something like a 14 x 8 shed myself.

Wooden sheds need maintenance but will eventually fall apart once into their second decade.

I got a good steel one from here: http://www.clanesteelgardensheds.ie/Clane_Sheds/Home.html (http://www.clanesteelgardensheds.ie/Clane_Sheds/Home.html)

Got one of these recently myself. Self assembly, they said it would take two hours but more like 5. But not too hard once you've a good drill and the right tools. Defo a two man job but a great job when finished.

I'd do it in an hour so..by myself.

I'd say you're pretty good at doing things by yourself. And very quickly too!!! :P

For that price, I'd expect it to assemble itself.

Going to build one myself out of wood. Need to source a few large logs to use as uprights and do a weatherboard cladding. It'll be a bit of a project but looking forward to get stuck in. Going to put reclaimed clay roof tiles on it too.

It'll be a grand excuse to sit outside, drink beer and stare at piles of wood and holes in the ground for a few months. I might even saw a bit of timber or two. There'll always be next summer to finish it off.
