Angel Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hi there, I'm looking for some advice on buying a shed, is there anywhere up here that sells sheds? I'm looking for a wooden one about 4x6. I've seen a couple in Argos but have been told that they'd charge me and arm and a leg to get it here, just wondering if anyone knows of any other companies south who sell them at a reasonable price and deliver for not overly much. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glipper Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 There's a building firm in Lerwick who build sheds there called DITT there phone number is 01595 692733 you could give them a call for a quote.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RileyBKing Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I would recommend the local suppliers quoted above, and would be careful ordering mail order from south. Quite apart from delivery costs, and "scottish islands" tend to feature in exclusions, the build quality is sometimes better suited to less challenging locations, more Surbiton than Shetland.

Scorrie Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 DITT do sheds that withstand a nuclear blast, but not cheap. The build quality on some sheds in Argos and places like that can leave a lot to be desired. Flimsy is an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter9jd Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Got a DITT shed last year, quite expensive but the structure of it was nothing short of a peerie hoose - just fab! I always think that the sheds bought in from south are not designed for our Shetland 'breezes'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 http://www.logspan.com/Really helpful, used to dealing with Shetlanders and although it looks expensive, one trip to see the cardboard flatpacks from some places and their exorbitant prices, all of a sudden they look really cheap.

Sudden Stop Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I watched an Argos shed get torn into pieces smaller than when left they factory last year. And then watched the contents of said shed vanish. False economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
