  1. I'm thinking of buying a new 10x8 shed to house my bike and garden tools.

    Currently I have two wooden 7x5s which would need to be dismantled and the new shed erected on the slightly sloping concrete paving stones (the drop from top side to bottom side is probably 2-3" at most).

    On researching, there are wooden, plastic or metal sheds available - what would you recommend, and can anyone recommend a supplier?

    Cheers

  7. I have a log cabin (not for my bikes) but that is very sturdy. 44mm interlocking planks, double glazed doors and windows, power etc. it's 5.5 x 3.5 metres x 3.5 metres to roof apex.
    Took two days to build with me and another bloke.
    Taylorsgardenbuildings.com I think.
    No planning required, permitted development.

  9. Oh yeah, it's made by Lugarde and was delivered on an articulated lorry by a crazy Dutch guy.
    I do use it for bike maintenance in the winter. I have one oil fired radiator and it heats the place to toasty warm in about an hour in the middle of winter.

  10. Mine is similar but 5.4m x 5.4m (walls are 70mm) - it no longer fits the permitted development on height if placed within a metre of a boundary as the laws changed a few years ago, but it went up in time, remains dry through winter to 55% relative humidity even with no heating on for weeks - top piece of kit :)

  11. I had a garden shed once, plumbed it for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

    One winter the washing machine froze and gave up. Just so you know, they offer no thermal protection.

  17. Try some of the portacabin companies, you never know what used ones they have around. Would come with electrics and lighting. Worth a try

  18. Asgard in Bradford have some good products. I've got a 6x9 ground anchored to a concrete hard standing. Been happy with it in 4 years use. They came and built it too for a fair price.

  19. Build from scratch. Timber frame, cover with ply and feather edge. Insulate between frame with Celotex everywhere, walls, roof and floor. Roof with galvanise sheet. Install power and some sort of low level heat source to keep above dew-point. Park up bike and move in.
