isitafox Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Does anyone know a good supplier, either online or in north Derbyshire, of decent quality well priced sheds?? I'm moving house tomorrow and gonna rent for a while but the shed that's at the house we're having is a piece of crap and there's not a prayer that either of my bikes are going anywhere near it! The current one is a beat up old 6 x 4 a bit like this but incredibly rundown and rotten so I'll be replacing it wether the landlord like it or not for something more substantial. I know it's a bit of a weird question but does anyone have any suggestions?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellingtj Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I've got one of those plastic resin sheds: http://www.keter.com/products/bellevue/ £458 from costco. It's brilliant - no need to paint etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 This, you definitely need. Hannah my dear, if I could get that I would live in it and f**k the rented house off! thought about building your own? dad made his and its decent, thick wood, good locks (no getting in there in a hurry), a window like the style of french doors (dont laugh), instalation, the lot and it can be in the exact size as you want. Might consider this, gotta price up all the wood and stuff Thought about getting a steel container? Did consider it but would like at least a small worktop to do odd jobs and stuff on when the weathers crap. Gotta run it all by the landlord first an he'll probably say no anyway!

forteh Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 My bikes will never be left in a shed, had far too many stolen in the past. All of my bikes are kept in my house and I always lock the door behind me. Fortunately its my house so can leave them anywhere I want (to a point, the OH moans if I leave them in the way ) and Ive got a cupboard that I stack all the bikes up in The boa is now stuffed at the back (cracked unfortunately) but it looks like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta run it all by the landlord first an he'll probably say no anyway! Get some 4 by 2, 2 by 2 and some 13mm sterling bored and make one to suit? Could use wat you have left to make some cubby holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) if you have issues with security, a mate wrapped his crappy shed with weldmesh and tacked it together, then ran a much thicker frame with bracing and put 3 bolts with padlocks on it. shank bolts all the way into thickened frame which was braced and reinforced the door in a similar way. wasn't pretty for about a year then the ivy growth hid it into the corner of his garden really well. Edit: or make a weldmesh cage inside the shed, it's a mother to cut through and really noisy work. steel rimmed lid/frame would make it inpenetrable and keep it cheap too!
