Metal Shed

[fidom]

I helped a builder friend to start assembling a metal shed yesterday and it reminded me of one of my DIY disasters. When I did my own similar but bigger shed I was working on my own and was having to stick nuts on with masking tape inside so I could screw the screws in from the outside. I ran out of daylight before getting the doors on so I left them for the next day. Unfortunately we had gale force winds that night so next day my new shed looked like this:

Not a pretty sight, I hope your next shed was made of wood?
Metal sheds are uncomfortably hot in summer, and very cold and prone to condensation in winter.

Yes, that time I did repair it and made it much stronger but a year or so later we had a lot of snow which did this:

That time it was too far gone and I put up this:

much better with the wood fidom i had one of those metal sheds by yardmaster iirc. condensation was always a problem in cold weather but i never thought about ventilating it like yours.

best way to have metal sheds is indoors... as I did 2 big ones side by side in a basement...

That is definitely a disaster! I would be absolutely gutted haha, not as gutted as the shed though!

That wooden one looks a lot nicer anyway, I didn't think they'd look that good with a metal roof actually. Very smart.

Metal sheds are good for stashing a load of scrap copper in . You then connect it all to a farm Electric Fence transformer - not that I would ever do such a thing , or even similar - like standing a copper cylinder outside my house with a cwt. of concrete poured in it through the immersion hole I am the Travellers Friend

LOL! don't blame you, we had a load of stuff nicked from our shed when our travelling friends were in town - wish I had thought of that idea!
