Title: Help - I need a shed :(
Post by: F1 9LFG on 08 December 2012, 13:47:45
Hi all
(hope this is ok to post in this section??)

I have a new motorbike being delivered next week and I need a shed to house it in.

Looking for a min of 6' x 8', wood or metal ideally with double doors but not a must.

I'm in Braintree, Essex and will travel 60-70 miles to collect.

So if you know anyone who has the above please please let me know!

NOT expecting a freebe, I'm happy to pay for the right shed.

Thank you   :y

I don't have one but - don't get a metal one! They 'sweat', make everything damp, go mouldy, rust etc.. boiling in the summer and freezing in the winter.

Wood seems to keep everything much fresher :y

Damned expensive new, these days, though I did drive past a place having a display-unit sale in Essex, if that's any help to you?  Pretty sure it was this place, given the route I was travelling at the time: http://www.shedcentremarkstey.co.uk/

Cheers mate, I pass that place a lot but they are not the cheapest - sheds seem to have rocketed in price, given it's winter I'd of thought they would be quite cheap but no!

Cheers

If you can't find one at a reasonable price, have you considered, buying 2nd hand timber and making your own?  :y

Cheers both, eyes on ebay.

I will build my own i suspect, that way i can customise it and make it a bit stronger etc.

Just thought that it'll save time (which i don't reall have) and effort.

  Have you had a lok at that place on the A120, just the other side of Little Hadham? Not to far from you.

i priced up to build my own and it was cheaper to buy one,in the end i bought a metal one and halfway through the build it nearly got folded up and taken to the tip theyre crap so if its something you will need for a long time its worth investing in a decent proper shed or as said ebay and  there nowt to stop you adapting/strenghtening which ever you get
