Am about to splash out a few hundred shekles on a new workshop, would be interested in anyones thoughts as to where to go, who's got a great shed / workshop, why, what works best, and where peeps got their's from?

No "what you what is a nice centrally heated double glazed garage like mine" comments please as we havn't got the room or the dollars! and my bottom lip might start wobbling

I found it advisable to buy a 'site hut' as opposed to a 'garden shed'.
Same animal from the same supplier but heavier timbers and boarding.
30 years later and it's just starting to show it's age, probably thro neglect.

It is 10`x 12` with a sloping roof not an apex and has moved around the country with me and served many purposes over the years.

Aye.. Sam's Shed has survived.. 3 moves? It still looks tidy too.

Oh and creosote them with old engine oil, not special bought stuff... It's cheaper

I've converted the garage, lot better than a shed

Still looks like a tip tho

i had one made by a local shed company. I wanted an apex roof - more storage space, and i wanted double doors at the front, single at the back - then i can get in to work on the beast easily :)

am pleased with mine - btw, you need a solid floor not cheap boards!

All our units are built to the highest specifications, compliant with BS CP3, BS CP11 and BS 449 and MoD Approved Defence Standards 05/29 and HSE 93.

Theyre a bit overkill for UK..

Do the job in Afghan though..

Theyre like ovens in Summer and bloody freezing in Winter, I personally wouldnt keep a bike in one.. Unless youre going to install an Air Conditioning Unit in it.
