Hi people! I'm buying a new house and will need a largish-sized shed for bike, small freezer, wine-making gear, lawn-mower, etc. etc.I've been looking at the wood-effect metal ones in Argos and at wooden ones. Has anyone got any comments about the metal ones? They seem to be practical, but I read somewhere that they can leak through the doors in the rain, are difficult to seal the floor, etc. .....Apart from the obvious about putting them on a firm slab base, any other comments or advice??I know there will be someone "out there" who knows All About Sheds, or can point me to a good website!!!!Thanks.Barb

For about 5 years we have a 10x8 Yardmaster metal shed that we are well pleased with. There is some ingress of water between shed and base but that used to happen with our wooden one as well and I have seen many cures for this on the 'net. No water gets in through roof, walls or doors. The only disadvantage that we are aware of is that it is difficult (impossible even) to put up shelves. However, we found that free standing plastic units from the likes of Homebase are adequate and have the advantage of being easily moved.Our shed came from Garden Buildings Direct at the time, offered the best prices.

Sheds?

Depends. If you watched the mid-day repeat (no longer with us) it usually was.

Yes mate but the question is partly about having a shed which is suitable for a freezer ie a heat source
