Does anyone know anything about these?
I'm looking for a metal shed, which i will insulate. They are a good price, but seem a tad thin? Is 0.3mm thick enough?
If i were to pay much more I would make my own, getting the sheets from one of the many suppliers.
Do let me know your thoughts!
0.3mm seems a bit thin to me. if its 10ft x 15ft as opposed to metres then its not a great deal of shed for the money. The sheets can be bought seperately, you can also buy them preinsulated, these are super strong and no condensation, but they are expensive. I would scan ebay for some sheeting.

I think 0.3mm will be very flimsy....
Asgard sheds are much sturdier, as are a German brand whose name escapes me.
The Asgard flexistore sheds work out better value than the "bike specific" ones (and are basically the same panels just in different door configurations).
I wanted something fireproof for welding (not for bike storage etc), and in that respect it is great. Not had any condensation problems either. Ones with metal floors (like the Asgard) can be quite noisy if you were trying to use it as a workshop.
A friend has just done a great job with a sectional concrete shed / garage. He bolted 3x2 timbers between each concrete panel and then clad it in shiplap timber (plus a big wooden joisted roof). Security and solidity of concrete but actually looks nice.
Ready insulated steel panels on a wooden frame?
