Hi all

My little old shed at the bottom of the garden is about ready to collapse, luckily on a local forum (Sheffield forum) someone was advertising a metal shed that they bought but never erected, i bought it for £100 (the new price is £200), the cap said he thought it was a 10x8 which would have been a tight fit between an oak tree, a bay laurel tree and the boundry fences of my garden...
Luckily when i went to look at it, it's 121"x 50" so it's going to fit perfectly in the space where the old 6x3 was...

I once put one of these sheds up for a friend at work- it was a bit hairy due to high winds (needed both him and his wife to help!)
I'm hoping that the extra size will accomodate all the gardening stuff, all the spares for my midget and so leave me some space to set my shop up a bit  :thumbup:

It's one of these but a little longer and narrower...


It's going to be a laugh getting the base ready with this 'orrible weather we're having :doh:


Cheers, John :beer:

I would recommend a power driver on the outside and someone on the inside with a spanner. There are hundreds of screws to put in.

My mate has just assembled a 6x4ft one, and it took him most of the day.

I erected one for a mate a few years ago (8x6 if memory serves)- it was a nightmare due to high winds!!..
I live at the top of a hill and so is quite windy up here, luckily, where it's going is surrounded by trees and greenhouses so the wind won't be a problem.

I think the wife will be holding the spanner!!!

I have to get a good solid base down first so that i can bolt it down :thumbup:


Cheers, John :)

John,

It should make a nice draught and weatherproof shop. Only problem is the cold weather, and you lose such a lot of the internal space if you insulate.

I lost 3" on my internal measurements. It doesn't sound much, but when you are tight for space, it can mean a machine fitting in or not.

Best of luck with the build, and don't forget to get the better half a little pressie for helping you, and no, a six pack isn't a pressie, even if she does enjoy the odd one.

Hi Bogs

This is just going to be  a store for all the stuff that's in my garage (and the other shed), the stuff that's stopping me from being able to make stuff in there like fishing tackle, stuff that the wife has put in and the extra drill presses, bandsaws, grinders etc that are in the way!!!


Cheers, John :beer:
