Steel garden shed

    I'm looking for a steel garden shed approx 8 foot x 16-20 foot. Lots of varying prices out there but ideally looking to spend no more than €1,500. Has anyone heard of or had dealings with Outdoor Superstore? They're not coming up on Trustpilot. Reasonable price but as they say - if it seems too good to be true etc. etc. Also, the ceiling height isn't tall enough but if they had something bigger, might be worth looking into further. Just wondered if anyone had any experience with them or have any other recommendations?

    Thanks in advance!

    At that price I'd imagine the steel would be pretty flimsy. A place I worked in bought a cheap smoking hut which was fine for about a month and then someone slashed it with a stanley knife, the metal was thinner than a bean tin. I bought an 8' X 10' shed from Adman Sheds last year for a little less than €1500, good strong steel and fully erected an about two hours.

    Thanks. Might be dodging the bullet there alright.
    So, on that basis, any recommendations for a decent, but we'll proceed shed?
    I think 8' X 10' is prob the best I'd fit?
    I've considered building s block shed/lean to of the 2 boundary walls, although my father in law regions it's simple, I'm not so confident in my own skills...

    Where are you. My recommendation would be for around Youghal. Most places that do a few sheds even if they don't do steel ones will have catalogues for some of the country wide firms that do decent steel sheds.

    With the cost of having to put in a foundation and floor you might be better just building one. These tin ones don’t come with any insulation or sealing either so you’d have a load of work to make them rodent proof too.

    Whatever you do, after reading that other thread I wouldn’t be touching that dodgy company with a barge pole no matter what.

    We spoke to adman yesterday. They gave us a name for the concrete base too. But if we ordered today we wouldn't get it until August!! I'd say most places are the same so don't delay too much.
