Title: Shed advice.
Post by: Mohican on November 21, 2016, 03:55:14 PM
Looking to get a new shed. Obvs I've seen the traditional wooden ones for sale but there are some decent looking metal/plastic ones out there. Anyone have one of the others or advice about them?
Tx.

I am a world authority on sheds. I have a plastic one, a traditional wooden one, a metal one, a shipping container and a box van body with a daylight roof.

What size do you want and what do you want it for?

8'x7' ideally as that fits the space in my garden perfectly. Looking to store gardening stuff,some kids toys and bicycles.( not of any great value). Want to free up some space In my garage too so I  can properly fettle my motorcycles.

If security isn't a big issue I would definitely go for plastic. I bought mine second hand, I've had it a couple of years and the people I bought it from had it for several years before me. It' just as good as new. They are bone dry and maintenance free. No mending, painting or re-felting.

A bit of advice, make sure you stand it on a firm even surface and fasten it down well.

8x7 is an awkward size but check out eBay and Costco.

No issues with moisture on the plastic?

No. You shouldn't get any significant condensation unless you heat it.
