The time has come to decorate the spare room to accommodate the growing family which means the bikes and tools etc will need to go into a shed in the garden.

Size wise I can get a 6 x 10ft space with concrete Base sorted. Time is a premium and if I went diy build it would never get done so I'm looking for suggestions for good quality pre made wooden sheds.

I've looked at prices and for pressure treated shiplap style with framed doors it's approx 1200.
Is pressure treated really much more beneficial than something treated every 2 years or so?

Went through some similar thoughts recently and ended up buying a keter plastic shed because I can't be arsed having yet another thing to maintain. Doesn't look as nice as a wooden shed but that's a trade off that's worth it in my book.

It will probably double up as a bit of a workshop for tinkering with the bike and bits so the plastic shed isnt too good for me in that respect.
I've got a smaller keter storage thing and have been pleased with it.

Are there any better sheds out there than the tiger shed pressure treated ones?. These seem to be pretty decent quality.

I've got this, windowless, big and pressure treated so less maintenence. Couldn't recommend it more. Double Doors for bikes too.

I've bought two sheds of these lot....
http://www.densheds.co.uk
Based in Hertfordshire,their website shows the shed "brands" they use.
Excellent quality & value IMO.
I fitted coach boots & strengthened the doors and frame and lined the interior myself to save a bit( and pretend I was mcmoonter).:-)

Johnnytheleyther, thanks for the link. Im after a pent style shed, but this is still good info cheers. The cost is much cheaper than the others ive been looking at, i guess there must be a big difference in durability with shiplap V overlap style? Does it feel robust?

SenorJ, cheers for the link. A quick google of coach boots brings up some strange images of what you might be getting up to on a weekend! 🙂

Just literally had our 10'x6' delivered and built this week. Quality looks good, nice and sturdy, and the service was excellent too. We got it from here...

...and went with the Canterbury

Website is good as you can change the size and add upgrades easily and see the price. All custom made so they'll do different/inbetween sizes if needed plus any other custom stuff you want. We got some upgrades like the onduline roof
