Sheds Build or Buy?

Build every time.



That video is less so the idea of how to build it, but it gives you a good idea of price.

 

A crazy man, that's for sure. I wonder what the neighbors think with some of his 'projects'.


I would build my own, there's a few features you don't get in that £700. Remember that you're also paying for labour when you buy a shed, so you can get much better value for money when DIY'ing it.

A DPM wrap around the shed would make it last for years longer than a bought one.

You've got a few options for what to put the shed on, you could lay a concrete slab, or use concrete posts secured to the base of the shed. I prefer the post method, as you don't have to worry about water 'pooling' under the shed.
To see the post method being used, Fat's thread shows it done perfectly: http://community.screwfix.com/threads/shed-build.177731/

 

700 for a 6 x 4 where you looking Harrods.

You can buy a very good 6 x 4 for 350 / 400.

 

Did a Tiger shed a little while back.
Very cheap. I put extra strengthening inside, plus reinforced the door.
Some plywood inside to protect the walls it really make it robust, & to hang things on.
Extra wood n bits about £60
Otherwise apart from that it was ok for the money.
8 X 6 Pent £330.
