I ordered mine from here last year:

About the best price I could find, great quality, and fantastic service. They will stick double doors in and all sorts.

just got this to sit linked to the back og the garage so can seperate the bikes in the winter to a warm climate with perm optimisers and timed electric heating lol also allows me to use the polish machine and spray in the garage without the hassle of moving the bikes

Are you pleased with it, Keith?

Just I'm looking for a big (huge) shed at the moment, and went looking for these guys, at the same address they give in this listing. They ain't there! (unless I was being very blind). I found a Facebook entry for them, gives a different address (somewhere in town), haven't had chance to go looking there yet.

Am kinda put off before I start though, so interested to hear what you think of the quality / service etc.

I would try to go for a timber shed, I've never had a plastic shed but the corrigated PVC roof sheet tends to get a lot of condensation on it metal is even worse?

You could build your own, this is blocks with timber skin but could be a timber frame, I think timber cost £350 excludes the roof?

That actually looks quite good - the stability of brick / blocks but with the much better looks of the wooden skin :)

I made my own - not for bike, just for shed stuff. with 4 old garage doors 6x6 galvanised steel, cut a hole in one and fitted a door, triangle ply each end = apex pitched roof with more ply and bitchumen corrugated on top of that, if you want a bigger on then get 2 6x6 doors and 2 double ones.
Your local garage door fitter will have the latest ones that they have removed from a garage that they are now fitting a roller door or upvc door to and so you can pick them up cheep and they will deliver to you all so long as you can give them more than the scrap value that the get.
