Garden shed recommendation

[JBR]

Sorry, in no way was I doubting you, but I was really unimpressed with the one that I had to assemble. It was about 600mm wide, 300mm deep and less than 1.8m tall. It had two doors. I didn't buy it so I can't remember the model number. I screwed it to the fence and had to lean it very, very slightly forward to reduce the amount of water that runs into it. That said, most of the water ran in through the "lid" of the unit- hence the need to seal each of the joins with clear CT1.

Well, to be honest, mine is on an elevated stone platform which supported an old rotten wooden shed before I got the Keter.
As for leakage through the roof, I have never seen a drop, and there was absolutely no need to seal any joints.
Perhaps they have changed the design.
I must say, though, that yours seems quite small: 12" x 24". I'm surprised that you can even get into it! Ours is about 6' wide and 6' deep, so I assume yours is a completely different model.

I've seen a timber merchant selling what they call log cabins, imported from Scandinavia

They are actually a thick T&G cut to size and notched so they slot together. Allegedly two people can build one in a day. They are pretty sturdy, though the doors and windows are relatively flimsy.

My own is self build, using fence posts socketed onto concrete pads, and partially clad with 18mm T&G ply, which I treat with woodstain. It would look prettier with shiplap. I have good eaves and gutters to keep the rain off the cladding.

The frame and cladding are much stronger than any commercial shed, so I can hang tools and equipment on them, and in the "toolshed" end, I have kitchen cabinets on hanging rsil.

Doors are hardwood house doors I collected free from foolish people having plastic front doors fitted.

He did say "a small external cupboard".

Well, if such is the case it would be nothing like the Keter shed I bought all those years ago. A little worrying, though, that a Keter product has turned out to be unreliable or poor quality.
Apologies to Opps, btw. You did say a small cupboard, and I obviously misunderstood. Nevertheless, if it leaks then I'd have a word with Keter.
