We finally decided on the Yardmaster 6' x 4' Metal Pent Shed. We bought it online and it cost us £119.00 plus a delivery charge of £4.85.
Argos also carries a similar shed and at a slightly lower price but we decided on the product from Tesco because it comes with anchoring fittings and work gloves.
The shed was delivered this Monday and I straight away started on the roof. It took me 45 minutes to assemble it.
Next day, the weather was quite bad and it rained intermittently through out the day. Thank God! my father-in-law who's visiting, was there to help me. We took several breaks and I had to buy a new screwdriver from Wickes and a cordless power screwdriver from Woolworths halfway through the assembly. Wish I had made the decision earlier as we would have got though it much faster.
Without the roof and the front walls.
Now all I need to do is to fix the anchorings and put some grease on the door rollers. My first major DIY project completed successfully.
The shed is not really big and I realised one major disadvantage of buying a metal shed - fixing shelves on the wall is going to be really difficult if not impossible. That means that I am got to look for some metal shelves.
So what do you think?

eh..that is very nice..now lets later see how your dIY shelf then..;-) interesting
I don't think I will be getting any DIy shelves, just some ready made self standing shelves would do.
I think you have really worked hard on it.Because your hard work shows as it is wonderfully made.But I guess people dont work that much hard they just get ready ones from the market.
I build all welded steel portable buildings for a living. One way is to build free standing wood shelving, then using screws with a rubber washer, attach the shelving to the wall by drilling and attaching the shelving to your walls from the outside of the shed. Looks good and good luck.
I think, you did a good job. But the question how many days it will stay. Anyway, let we see. Thanks for your post.
How about adding a green roof , I put one on mine and it has turned out really well, it is slightly odd though seeing so much colour 6ft up.
Great job, Adam!
sandra: They are muc costlier.
Bob: I think I will instead go for free standing shelves.
datenwiederherstellung: Well the shed comes with 10 years gurantee.
Mark: That's interesting. Hmmm
Emila: Thanks.
The shed looks just great, very useful to have next to the house or in the garden to keep all the gardening stuff... Is this rustproof?
Polina, Yes it has a 10 year anti-rust manufacturers guarantee.
I have to start building a shed but have no idea how to start, I found the info in this article very beneficial, I will have a quick look at your
blog to see if you can actually help.
Here is my blog post ... Kathlene
