garden shed
« on: October 16, 2007, 16:16:29 »
I am planning to buy a very small shed for my allotment.    I have seen one at B & Q for £99.99.  Has anyone bought a shed from them and were they pleased with it.  Any advice welcome.

Hi ya Manic.  I started a thread recently wooden v metal sheds.  Unfortunately(?) I got the metal one. I got it through ebay - much cheaper.  I paid £80 plus pp (£25) for a 6' x 4'. Flatpack. Came day after ordered. Same item in Argos book was £119 and not delivered.  So I would check out ebay first.

We bought our shed from them a year ago, it is the first shed in my life and it's not one of those which last forever, but it's OK. We picked it either on Boxing day or the day after and they put a reduction on all outer package damaged sheds, so ours worked out at £70 including delivery.
Argos does reduced sheds around Christmass too, I can't remember exactly but I think this metal shed was on offer about £90+£20 delivery (delivery was compulsive) and it was cheaper than ebay ones.

Before you buy have you tried Freecycle??

I got my metal one from freecycle but had to wait for about a month but well worth it as i got the concrete flags too!!

We got one of the £99 sheds from B&Q 10 years ago as a wedding gift and it has survived all this time including moving house but remember to visualise the amount of space you'll need and what you need it for before buying it.

You would be hard pushed to get a normal wheelbarrow in, for example, without carrying it sideways and even then it would be difficult, other than that I say go for it!

I knew that I married the wrong person - all that I was allowed was kitchen ware, soft furnishings and 'kin lava lamps.  ;D
