secure metal shed

[Stately]

Stately,the solicitor pointed out when we went through it on the day of exchange which was the day she got the contracts through. Unfortunately its something that the developers are insisting on in the deeds now. I'm not allowed a caravan,motorhome or boat parked on my drive incase it upsets the atmosphere of the estate

Actually, in their defense, clauses such as these can work in your favour.

I mean if and when you come to sell, and your neighbour had a dirty great boat stuck out on his drive blocking your light, it could put off a potential buyer.

Believe me I know

I've been down that road but people can go a bit too far.

My neighbour asked me if I wouldn't mind not having my bike parked out on my drive while they were trying to sell their house

Deej,

Where have you moved to I wouldn't recommend a sectional concrete garage personally (I have one ) ...... by the time it's sorted you don't save much on building a conventional one The place we bought our garden shed from (Harris Timber Products, http://www.harristimberproducts.co.uk/sheds.htm, just off the A30 near Ottery St Mary) is excellent, and though not the cheapest erection was included in the cost - a 10'x8' tanalised 1/2" T&G sides, pitched corrugated sheet roof (rather than crappy felt) shed, with 3/4" marine ply floor cost us around £900. Very pleased with it

As for the restrictions re. sheds/satellites/conservatories/extensions etc., that is no different to any new development. It's generally a control insisted upon by the planning authorities because of the density of most modern developments

[deej]

Yeah have learnt that out now, there aint a lot we can do it unfortunately. Were moving into a new development in bugle,decided to stay down here whilst jobs are hard to find. Had to look outside st a as there's no new builds available and we wanted a new house only

Will have a look at the website when I get home. Never though about the t&g over the normal overlapping budget shed

How much room is there for bikes and other bits in a 10 x 8 shed then matey ?

That might be a bit far for them to deliver/erect

I reckon you'll comfortably get two or even three bikes in a 10x8, so long as you have double doors I can't say I've ever tried - I've got a 24'x15' garage next door for the bike We've got five bicycles, a load of garden crap, the lawnmower, etc., in ours plus shelves all down one side, and it's not too bad I'd watch storing anything petrol powered in a shed with a wooden floor though

From a security point of view a decent shiplap/T&G shed will be sturdier than an overlap panel one, and ours has a 3"x2" frame as well. It'll look nicer for longer too

moose what do you think of this one

i know i'll have to put it up myself but is it good value ??

[billinom8s]

speak to bambam. He has a metal shed for his bike. Plus he keeps funky chained up in there at weekends.

[deej]

si,bambams already posted the link up but they are stupid money compared to what i want to pay at least i got nearly £600 from the zxr sale and thats my shed budget plus i want something big enough for workbenches and storing the pushbikes etc too

[TLS-Moose]

That doesn't look too bad spec wise, but if you're working in the area it might be worth popping in and having a look at one - construction quality can vary a fair bit

The only thing I would say is that they say "preservative treated" rather than pressure treated, so expect to have to spray it annually to prevent rot setting in

You'll also need to enquire as to the cost of extras - double doors, etc.,

[deej]

have emailed about the cost of double doors but they did say in the ad they could build to my spec so that shouldnt be a problem, also noticed that they'll erect it for free which is even better as im crap with a hammer

This guy in bideford makes a pretty good shed i have one 16x12 i think 5/6 bikes in it ,bench/ parts , 2 push bikes
