Temporary outside storage
 
Hi all.
I think I need temporary storage to stand alonside my block built
shed in the back yard. Ideally it would stand next to the shed wall
which is about 6 feet long and of similair height. The max width I
could
accommodate here is about 1 metre.

Anyone seen anything like this?
Thanks.

Just shelter, or completely secure and weatherproof?

Have you looked at these plastic sheds you can get.

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

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...

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.
