I am going to purchase a shed!!
Having owned lots of sheds but never bought one (House always came with one).
I have two choices
http://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/Wooden-Sheds/BillyOh-Lincoln-Tongue-and-Groove-Apex-8-x-6#heading-product-sizes 6*4 or
http://www.shedstore.co.uk/itemdetl.php/itemprcd/tra86ssa 8*6 and £50 more. Your thoughts from your shed like please.

Tongue and groove is good!
Comes down to whether you want a single window or a run of windows. I have a long bench built in as an 18 ins wide sill and this is fantastic.
Also the shed store one doesn't come ready treated unless you pay extra

Hope that helps  :)

I was going to treat myself and then the shed.   Just these big purchases make me nervous.  Even more so because the wife will go mad.

I would go for the second one , it has T&G floor and ceiling while the first is OSB. I don`t rate OSB for floors that are likely to get wet.

the T&G floor and ceiling are a good idea.
If you're going to treat the wood, don't use one of these awful water-based products.
Go for something supposedly environmentally unfriendly.......
It'll make the wood last far longer, and you won't have to do it so often, proving the utter bunkum of the value of the other muck. (Just my opinion, of course) ;)

OK I did purchase said shed.  But left it a bit long and I the price went up £20. Plus I went for the factory coat of preserver. Well it would have cost me more to purchase the preserver from a DIY store!! The wife said what about this chicken coop (till she saw the price). I nearly fell off me perch £470.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats two sheds. Granted its made of pressure treated wood but wow what a price.

You would have to have "skills" to build that and I certainly do not have them. I can not even use a hammer correctly.

My thumb's the only reason why the wood doesn't have loads of hammer marks in it :tongue2:
