argos are selling, maintenance free resin coated 'ship lap' style galvanised
steel sheds 3.03 metres by 2.37 metres for £400. i have been told that the
quality of most wooden sheds are very poor (not like the ones you see
already erected in the garden centres) which you only discover when all the
wood arrives at your house.

i would like to know, do these steel sheds come with their own flooring?
(the argos catalogue does not say). if not, i guess we would need some
concrete laid down; which as a 'novice' and retired would be a bit too much
for me.

does any one have experience of these metal sheds please, i.e. the good and
bad points and what to watch out, if anything? and is there anyway around
laying a concrete base? thanks

About ten years ago I bought a metal shed, not from B&Q I might add. It
came with a shuttering ply floor. The sub floor I did was sand and slabs.
Worked just great, always dry as a bone, nothing has shifted. Much better
that timber. I keep all my camping equipment in it. Never a problem.
Hope this helps.
Cheers. Joe

yes thanks. not from b and q. ? if its a good shed with a floor, where did
you buy yours please? surprised you can keep things like tents in a garden
shed. i always assumed it was too damp for ours and end up dragging them
into the loft.

Try screwfix - got mine from them. Was cheapest place by far and beat
Argos.

This weekend if you spend over £250 you will get £50 off !

Bought from a local garden centre. I live in North Devon so we are wet most
of the time. Never had a problem with damp in the shed. Stuff comes out
each spring and is put back each November.
