I got mine from Focus, not the best build quality in the world, but the price was right! They ranged from £79 up to £139 at the time I got it, it's 7'x7' and was £129.

Here's some lateral thinking:
If the council want the shed to LOOK decent, why not cover it over with a climbing rose/clematis/passiflora/ivy?
Even a coat of paint will make it look tidier.
That way, it can be made out of any old carp like pallets.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

I picked one up from Focus last week.
As we're only allowed 6' x 4' max on our site (Thanks to Gosport Council) other than getting a dog kennel my options were limited when it came to size.
The cheap 6' x 4' version (it is cheap but build quality is reasonable, mine put together fine and is now quite homely) is £99. However, take my advice and take an OAP with you when you buy - OAP's get a 10% discount on a Tuesday. My friends mother was all too willing to assist, in exchange for a lifetime's supply of raspberries For £89 you can't beat it.
Hope this helps,

Anyone else found any bargain sheds? I'm after a new one, not a cobbled-together one (because I am hopeless at building anything, even my cold frame fell apart), but £100 is my absolute max.
Focus do a 6 x 4 overlap apex for £99. I wonder if its any good?Last edited by Two_Sheds; 04-02-2008, 03:35 PM.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

I'm with Piglet Willie on this, it's well worth asking the DIY stores if they have an ex-display model. I got a fab shed recently from B&Q half price just cos it needed a minor repair.
On my old allotment I got my shed from a local company who usually charge £20 more for erection but when the guy delivered it and saw what a mess I was making of putting it together he very kindly put it up for me too - so if you can't grab a granny, it might help to grab a feeble-looking girl!
