SteveW:
Anyone got one, need more bike storage.
Just wondered if you get condensation on the inside because the walls are so thin.

Laverdaroo:
Been there, done that and yes, like you don’t know! They get really wet.

Build a plywood hut, possibly cheaper and at least you can insulate the inside as much as you feel required depending on where you are and know it’s good for the winter. A good floor is quite important too, not just concrete, a wood layer helps enormously.
Or just get another shed

Thanks, thought as much.
Wooden shed it is.

Check out Facebook Marketplace and E Bay for second hand sheds....there are always plenty for sale.....they just want them dismantling and shifting sharpish as they have building plans afoot. Of course you have to dismantle them and transport them but with a couple of mates, and a Saturday or Sunday, you can save a lot of dosh. You can always cut them into manageable sections for transport and speed of dismantling (a Corded or Cordless Circular Saw is just the job) and you can strengthen the whole assembly again when you install it later.

S/H Sectional Concrete Garages are cheap as chips because they are a swine to transport and/ or they have Asbestos Roofs.......but if you have suitable transport and they are near your location, they are worth considering. I have a 20' X 10' Sectional - it was here when I bought this house (it has an asbestos Roof but its in good condition) and its just the job for me.

My only foray into Steel Sheds was many years ago and doing it on my own was a nightmare in December....and when it was finally assembled my blo*dy, ef*ing Dog would never go in it ! My TA Landrover hardtop was a pain in the rain as it was like somebody drumming on the outside of the roof and on one Exercise in Germany we had a 'carpet' of flies made their home on the inside of the hardtop ! Once bit, twice shy !

Lastly....buy the biggest you can fit on your plot - as you'll fill it quickly and wish you had a bigger one (as the Actress said to the Bishop) !
