Temporary outside storage

Just shelter, or completely secure and weatherproof?

Has to be secure and weatherproof. thanks.

Search for "shed" on Argos and you'll see what I mean. Look at the 705/2295

I need something bigger..about 6 feet wide.

You'll have difficulty fitting something 6 feet wide into the 'max width' of I metre you mentioned in your original post. Might need an angle grinder to trim it to size ;-)

Over here (US) you can get metal sheds that come in kit form with sliding doors cheaply from the bigger DIY places - there might be something similar available in the UK. They bolt together easily enough, although you have to put together your own floor (worst-case some 2x4" framework with 1/2" chipboard over the top would do, although treated stuff would be better for anything long-term).

Parts quality isn't that great, the door sliders in particular, but they come in a range of sizes and are "reasonably" sturdy and secure (i.e. you get what you pay for - wouldn't stop a hurricane or a tealeaf with some metal snips). They don't seem to leak, which is a good thing :-)

After you're done with it, sell it or use the metal panels for more interesting projects...

Arthur 51 coughed up some electrons that declared:

Rent a shipping container? No idea where from - but I'm toying with the idea...

If you look at that Argos item, it is 4 ft 6 in x 2 ft 3 in, so could be quite a lot wider, but I'm still not sure the OP would get the doors fully open ;-)

Got one of those from B&Q (in the UK) last year. It, and its contents, survived the winter. Can't remember what I paid but do remember seeing it listed £20 cheaper about two months after I got mine. They come in two sizes I think. I got the bigger one.

Google shipping container rental :-)
