Where's a good place to buy a large shed, maybe on-line?

We need 14 x 10ft size (approx 4x3m) which will be a shed/workshop (aka my hideway!).
I have never bought a shed before as we have always inherited one so not sure where to look...
Budget is max £1400 and we need it to be quite sturdy.
Any recommendations?
Thanks v much.

I used an online base for a bog standard shed recently. Think it was soemthing like shedstore or something like that. Service was good and shed is perfect for what we wanted (cheap and cheerfull for garden crap)

I have been looking for shed on-line. BILLY OH or similar name were good price and good reviews.

Argos do quite a range and these seem pretty reasonably priced.

I regret not having spent more on our previous shed - if you spend a lot of time in there (as we gardening types do ), I think it's worth getting the one you really want.

I really wished I'd bought a proper potting shed, with a growing area which could also hold a chair, and then a shed area for storing tools.

This is the kind of thing I would really have liked:

Or if you're in the south east, Skinners Sheds.

They do free erections

Looks perfect, other than the price!

yes, it was exactly this one!

But there was a place local to us in Cambridge that did less exciting ones at much lower prices, but they still had a substantial potting shed area.

Didnt realise you were Cambridge based, we used to live there!
Where was the place you found? I do go to Cambridge sometimes so may be able to go and have a look.
Thanks again.

We ended up with a shed from the Shed Factory - their standard 8 x 6, I think. It was good quality, but wasn't very suitable for growing seedlings etc.

They don't seem to have a potting shed on tehir website, so I might ahve seen it somewhere else.
