The Shedman workshops are a good quality and reasonable price.

has anyone ever looked into frieght containers as sheds have seen a mob here in qld that are selling containers to live in ie granny flat style with bathroom and they seem quite cheap all windows and doors etc installed but they also have jut empty ones with windows doors and was thinking they might be good ( at least you couild take all your tools with you when you move ) but they would be a lot pricey than a shed i suppose
my shed in progress will never blow down or anything as its made out of steel railway line that has been cemented into ground to form the uprights and then the bearers have been bolted to those and metal screwed to that but needs a better floor and power to it before i can really se it up and also some extra windows would be nice
the old bloke that used to own the hse muct of had mate on the railway as rail line has been used everywhere the old outside laundry is held up on one side with rail the old outside dunny is also framed with it and the long steel pipe holder frame in the yard is it as well

We used one for about 5yrs as a storage shed. Cost us $2000+delivery.
If you're going to get one I suggest you get one of the insulated ones, as we did. We didnt have problems with condensation inside (that surprised me, I thought it would be an issue).
We didnt need windows or doors, but did get a sparkie to install a couple of fluros in it.

Im still cogitating that route... I bought a 40ft x 9ft seatainer from Royal Wolf here in Perth when we first moved down here for $3500 delivered... I went up there and selected the seatainer I wanted from the MULTITUDE they have the bloke was pretty good getting the forklift operator to bring down 5 of the things from WAY up top for me to go over before deciding... they put new seals on the doors the floor was given new sheets of 1in ply it was painted inside... no dings no rips and the top (most important you get a gander up there man there was some rust on some of them!!) was great.
In the two years since its not leaked once no condensation but gets BLOODY HOT in summer in there!!...
Ive moved it behind the shed and its presently a storage unit for the surplus family gear.
Actually thinking about this I might wander up and ask the shire bloke tomorrow as Ive gotta see him anyway... Ive often thought of getting 2 of these things 7500 - 8000 delivered and set wherever I choose... Im thinking of putting them 20ft apart then making a cover and sides throw up some doors and bam instant SOLID 40ft x 9ft either side of a 20ft x 40ft area!! man that would be a good shed or what!! then factor in the existing 6mtr x 9mtr shed AND the existing 40ft x 9ft sea tainer and MAN OOOOOHH MAN!!!...
You would need to get hold of a oxy acetaline set to cut the doors and windows but theyre not that dear to hire for a day (get it friday arvo and youve got it for the weegen!!) keep the cut out weld some angle to it and use it as the door and window... not hard just time consuming
But for what shouldnt be much more than $13000 you would have one hell of a shed! You could get a couple of 20fters but they are not that much cheeper than the 40 and if youve got the room then get the bigger one (finances a given of course!) oooh okay you gotta add in for the metal for the top eh? duhhhh geez sometimes I gotta wonder at meself... okay lets up the anti to what? about 16000 - 17000 tops?... mmm getting up there eh? ANYWAY!! its a thought that keeps rattling around my head
Anyway I will get back with what the shire bloke saysBelieve me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!

I had a shed built when we lived in Bullsbrook (North of Perth) by a Maddington company, WA sheds http://www.washed.com.au/
It was 3 years ago though, we were happy with the price, product and service. The shed was a biggish one though 12 x 30 metres, I think they do smaller ones as well.
It was a strong shed, the wind really blew on top of that hill in Bullsbrook.
Cheers

I hear you
Hey Damon, I hear you loud and clear.
There are so many dodgy shed comapny's around WA at the moment, all claiming to be the best. I'll tell you and others of a secret I found out recently. Did you know most company's advertising in WA are actully from NSW, QLD and SA?? The best WA comapny at the moment by a street is a small outfit called Garage Wholesalers in Maddington. Great sheds, great service and only a small premium to pay for quality with no stress. Give them a go, you won't be disappointed.
Cheers,
Maungshay

Hey GW, you wouldn't happen to be connected to Garage Wholesalers would you.
Fancy that, your initials are the same as the initials of Garage Wholesalers. How's that for a coincident.
Cheers.
Vernon.

Maungshay, why not come straight out and tell us that you're Garage Wholesalers. It is fairly obvious from your email address who you are.

No I hadn't - thanks for the link!
Looking at their range, I wish I wasn't in suburbia - don't have enough land for even a half reasonable shed!"Clear, Ease Springs"

thinking back to when I did structural design 30 years ago, I recall that the design wind loading for a temporary structure was the 5 year return storm (only hospitals got designed for the 100 year storm). Given that in many places you don't need planning permission to errect a shed, I'm surmising that sheds are treated as temporary structures — so any decent storm will blow one over.
After Cyclone Tracey, wind design rules changed in the cyclone zone, but I don't think they changed elsewhere.
