redcharge 379 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Looking for a heavy duty man shed, something that is solid and going to last. Can anybody recommend anywhere?? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dewi 188 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Best bet is to get one built how you want it,recently knocked one up for a mate 16x12 with a loft you can stand up in and a slate roof 6"x2" framework clad in 18mm ply cost him about 1200 quid for the timber.an off the shelf shed the same size but shite quality was priced at 2 grand locally, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,791 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Wouldn't it be cheaper to make it with breeseblocks or brick and put a wood roof on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redcharge 379 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Wouldn't it be cheaper to make it with breeseblocks or brick and put a wood roof on it? Maybe, the thing is though I have a brick shed at the moment and it always seems damp??? Anything that is stored in there always has that musty smell too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brassneck 128 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 may have been down to lack of damp course ,insulation etc . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hillbilly boy 109 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 To be fair to lanesra his shed is very good would be worth. 3 grand of anyone's money your defo best building your own you don't cut corners with materials and design it to suit your needs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
