glenn r Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm running out of space and looking to get a good shed/workshop built. Does anyone have any tips for good suppliers? Maybe even someone who will put a base down at the same time. I'm getting to that age where a shed is an attractive proposition. Cheers, Glenn.

copemech Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Aah, so you too are finding the wife more and more annoying! PM Dabster, he can build your clubhouse in the back withe the flatscreens and stereo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Almoost forgot, be sure to run enough electrical tho run beer cooler and air compressor at the same time! You can just run the long funnel through the wall to the bucket after the inspector leaves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreilly Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Over here in are area you just go and see a amish farmer.will build you a nice shed and send the boys with it on a wagon to your house.That reminds me I better get one on order.JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn r Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Bit short on Amish folk over here regrettably! Wife seems surprisingly keen on my getting a shed too for some reason. Has suggested that the xbox goes in there too and even offered to fund central heating for it! Well, a gas fire at least. I wonder why? Perhaps she can see endless evenings of undisturbed Hollyoaks and strictly come dancing without me moaning and watching bike DVD's. (Least I hope that's her motivation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcgods Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Don't buy a shed from B & Q. Mine is dreadful. I reinforced the floor with extra bearers to support it and the floor still bent so I laid down loft flooring. The walls are just as bendy so I loft floored them as well. The roof sags in the middle and the felt they give you for the roof is as thin as tracing paper. If you can find a local company that specialises in sheds, get one from there.

bikespace Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Maybe you want a wooden shed for a workshop, but I bought a metal 'Yardmaster' shed for around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austini Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 If I was choosing a shed just for my bikes i'd be looking for the most lockable/security orientated shed available, something thats goiing to put 240volts up some bike thiefs jacksy when he comes into contact with the door handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Avoid a yardmaster unless you have loads of time, the bigger they are the more difficult to put up. Hmmmm....maybe time has faded the memory. I do remember it being a bit of a job at the time and ours is only about 11 foot square. Just got to be methodical and take your time with the instructions. I agree though, don't underestimate it. On the other hand, it's been solid as a rock since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I've got a yardmaster shed & the instructions were ****e, I draw sheds of a slightly bigger kind for a living & if I produced the same instructions that yardmaster give I wouldn't get much work. As far as I'm concerned it's a garden shed for pots & stuff & the patio gear through winter, it's about as secure as a tent for keeping your bike in. Save your money & get some bricks & mortar stood up, it's surprising what you can do without planning permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
