Buying or not a steel shed

[Memmeddu]

Hi everyone happens to have found a metal shed on marketplace
2.5 wide x5 meters long

I'm in the process of building my workshop in my land.
I still have to finish the mechanic pit hole, then I have to weld the steel frame, then I have to pour concrete, blocks wall , concrete, steel webbing for the floor pouring concrete, blocks walls ,roof frame etc etc .
Would be worth buying this shed to kinda save what I have over there while I'm building the real shop?
Seller wants 300 euro.

Looks better quality than a lot of the Chinese metal sheds we have over here. As long as it'd dismantle without problems then I can't see a reason why not to buy

Do you have means to move it? I wouldn't fancy it on roof bars on a 126. It looks far easier than a concrete sectional garage, might just need a full new set of bolts unless it's always been inside the bigger shed.

If it's local and won't cost a lot to dismantle and move, you can always sell it on once you have your other workshop done.

I bought same type second hand , better quality than modern light weight sheds , does the job , especially untill your proper one is built , I put timber prop in centre as roof support.

yes ....def buy it it....they are always handy for extra storage if u have room......
besides after you have finished with it you can sell it on for a profit with luck.....
I just helped a friend put a smaller shed together....Chinese garbage......which cost almost 800euro's.....

I'd buy it just for storage...

To me its a no brainer, buy it, build bigger permanent shed, then put all the stuff that's not nice enough to take up valuable nice shed space in it afterwards.

When I built mine, I used pop rivets instead of self tappers. A good excuse to buy a pneumatic riveter.

Air riveter - good tool - cheap and easy to use!

Unfortunately it has been sold.
I was talking with my brother few minutes ago.
We are planning to buy insulated roof panels for less than 16 euro per square meter
I need roughly 30 metres for my shed
500 euro roughly
I've got the water pump for the con saw in the mail this evening tested and works
On tomorrow I'll start to break in the Husky
And on Saturday I'll finish the mechanics pit base to get the concrete poured

this is light guage steel garage it also uses insulated panels

as goes for insulation a normal roll will do

its just that white plastic sheet thats needed first before the insulation unless your going to board the insides

this one shows both insulation rolls and insulation boards with extra info
