Bench Kit

[f49h]

Hi
I am looking for a manufacturer that sell shed benches in kit form. they all seem to be in the States
Any Ideas, cheers

you are looking for a manufacturer not a retailer?

so are you planning to become a dealer in these kits?

Hi
No I just want one for my shed

They are very simple and sturdy and are sold unassembled

I got mine from a well-known DIY shed on one of their money-off days. It is outdoors so I soaked the feet in Cuprinol and treated it with water-repellent fence stain. As they are very heavy they might be expensive to have delivered. I have an idea they are often made in Finland at the timber mill as there is no assembly, just cutting and drilling

If I felt energetic enough I would have knocked one up from construction timber

Do you mean a big wooden workbench type thing? Sometimes they're listed as potting benches but we also bought one from well known DIY chain (their discount range is now called "payless" so can work out which one - website doesn't have piccie currently tho) and it was fab. Had all manner of nasties done on it and too it, survived house extension work etc and was still going strong after 6 years ) Sure we got ours cheaper too but about £30 now.
HTH?

Hi John
Where did you get the kit from?
Thanks for the info everyone

I think it was B&Q but it might have been Homebase. They had two grades and I bought the bigger, heavier one.

It is basically just a carton of contruction timbers cut to size with a few holes drilled in them. If you have a good woodyard locally you could doubtless make your own.
