Guest AngelicAcid Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 For a decent tongue and groove shed< not the value range, thats not too bad. For a shiplap you can pay 250 plus some places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If your happy with it mate thats all that matters, sometimes as your say it is the circumstances that dictate what you have to do edited to say I hope its big enough for me to sleep in when I come up to Northumberland as I love holidaying your area Edited March 30, 2010 by harrycatcat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 whatever shed you get, preparation is the key to how long it lasts, even if its pre treated, Id suggest getting some good old fashion cresote, failing that some old engine oil, and paint the underside of floor/base, also if possible, site it raised off the ground, a good flow of air under it, will keep the floor from rotting away, also means better access for ferrets when the mice start nesting under it, which they will do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Ive just moved last Friday, and am looking for a New Shed. I will be getting it out of Great Universal Catalogue. There are a few different types, So really need to know what will be the best to get. It will be used for storage, but will need to be Secure. The types are:- Apex ShipLap. Groundsman(Tongue and Groove Shiplap Cladding.) And Apex Overlap. The reviews on their website are very Few, and not very helpful at all. I will put the links up soon. look on ebay for a second hand metal shed..... you can even get wood look a like ones! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AngelicAcid Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Ive got a large bottle of Old type creosote. Exactly how and where should I treat? It will be raised off the floor, what will be the best way/preperation to do this? Was thinking dig the turf up, flatten, then sand, then plactic sheeeting and paving stones on each corner and the middle, as to let the air get under. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We put our sheds on top of old railway sleepers keeps em well up off the ground and they last a lifetime Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly how and where should I treat? thats an april fools question, right turn base over, before fixing together, hold paintbrush in one hand, and after dipping in cresote, wiggly hand up and down railway sleepers are ideal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrycatcat 31 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Ive got a large bottle of Old type creosote. Exactly how and where should I treat? Leave a space for me untreated in the corner for when I visit 6ft x 3ft please. edited to say on a serious note I don't think I would put creosote/engine oil on a shed with children cos if they get it on their skin it could burn them and if they get it on their clothes you will be in big bother. I did it on the chicken coop ( supposed to stop red mite )but there is no children about where it is. Edited April 1, 2010 by harrycatcat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
