Yes I have in the past. I have concluded with the exception of one purchase I should of built them myself. Higher cost but would last longer. The one exception was from finneforest, garden office style shed, that was good quality. Cheers

Can’t you fix your old one up (again) like I did? Luckily being on lockdown offers you the time to do it, so nobody can tell.

The old one is leaning and bulging. Top to bottom around 6" between top and bottom being square and the floor is erm. well rotting in places and I think the the outer supports have gone as the middle is the highest area domes downwards from there. 1999 Defender TD5 110

I bought my shed from Tiger Sheds online last year. Really pleased with it. Good solid quality - no OSB or chipboard etc all solid wood pressure treated to last. I painted it with Ronseal wood care mainly for aesthetic reasons as opposed to needing protection.
Was a decent price and quick delivery. Click image to enlarge |

If you want to have a really solid self-built shed, try your local scaffolding plank supplier. One made of those will outlast your grandchildren, and (although I've not checked recently), they weren't too expensive.

Bother, I wish I'd thought of that first!

Here’s a home made one. Built by my Dad. Sadly no longer with us. I took this photo last week as I was re-felting the roof. It was moved to its current location from a previous address when my parents moved house out into the sticks from inner city Bradford. I don’t know how long it had been built when at the previous address but the move was made in 1962. That makes it at least 58 years old. Not too shabby for a DIY job!

I bought mine from Tiger sheds last year and it’s really quite good quality.

A long lasting shed. Probably when shed paint contained all the good stuff and not a water based one. 1999 Defender TD5 110
