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. Arthur |

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

Might need an angle grinder to trim it to size ;-) Toom |

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... |

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. |
