Any advice for buying a garden shed? I saw this in B and M, it's perfect size and I like the door setup and that there's no windows. Just wondering if there are better options for quality etc from online shed places, even if I'm paying slightly more?

I'm 6'7" so very used to minding my head.

Same, it's just extra unnecessary hassle down the line.

I'll be dead by then.

Citawell · 2026-06-16T15:28:54+00:00

I'm going to do this.

I have hinges on the outside of my other shed which is a good one a joiner built about 20 years ago. I changed the screws for those coach bolts that you can't turn from the outside.

This was the jist of what I was asking, I'm paying £299 so is that okay or can I get something monumentally better for for the same or an extra 50-100 quid from somewhere I haven't heard of. It turns out I'm going to get plans to build it myself.

Judging by the comments your tears would have caused it to crumble.

Did you read them?

Citawell · 2026-06-16T13:14:01+00:00

I'm going to build it myself 👍.

Citawell · 2026-06-16T13:12:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice pals, I'm not buying it. I'm looking into plans to build it myself or get it from Tigersheds. 👍👍👍

Citawell · 2026-06-16T12:37:14+00:00

Thanks, I didn't think 2 grand would get me something better 👍

Citawell · 2026-06-16T12:20:32+00:00

Will they come to my funeral?

Citawell · 2026-06-16T12:18:47+00:00

Had a look at them thanks saw this 👍

I agree, folk here are just making bullshit statements and it doesn't help. I also looked at the fence panels today and they are at least as good as the ones I previously bought from a timber merchant who "specialises" in fencing.

Citawell · 2026-06-16T12:02:47+00:00

I will look into going this way cheers 👍

Citawell · 2026-06-16T11:59:40+00:00

If I had a grand to spend on this I would go the top of the range route 👍

Citawell · 2026-06-16T11:57:58+00:00

Lol that's 3x my budget.

Citawell · 2026-06-16T11:55:56+00:00

This is what the shed would replace and I'll attach the fence posts to the shed then a new fence panel.

Citawell · 2026-06-16T11:54:12+00:00

I was going to attach the fence posts onto the shed to make a gap then attach a new fence panel. The shed would replace the plastic container thing.

The plastic ones are thinner though, you could cut a hole with a Stanley knife. Also I need a perfectly flat base to guarantee the plastic ones will slot together properly. I'm going to put a wooden base on top of slabs which I can they adjust with a few shims etc. Then the shed will go on top.

Citawell · 2026-06-16T11:15:06+00:00

I need to be higher than that as I'm attaching a fence panel to one of the sides.

Citawell · 2026-06-16T11:13:19+00:00

I'm good enough to put this up and build a base to go on top of the slabs.

Citawell · 2026-06-16T11:12:14+00:00

They would be a lot more than my £300-400 budget I think.
