Well the shift to the new house is now complete....and not one thing broken....which is a record for me:o ....now I have to buy a 2 bay shed, roller doors, and a PA door, for the Series IIA restoration.

Anyone got any suggestions. Been an had a look at the titans, $4800.00 If I get it, will have to make room for Numpty's Missus's blonde mates:D :eek: , I have had a quick squiss at a few others, A&A sheds, Aussie Sheds etc.

All advice is gratefully received.

Only one thing I can think of, better make it a 3 bay.

No matter how big a shed we get, we always need a bigger bugger.

regards shorty.

Hi Rob
Go as big as you can afford to,you wont regret it!!!!!.
I put a 12mx6m shed and its too small.Hoping to put a 4.5m leanto down 1 side and part enclosing.
Look for the trussless sheds,much more hight inside.I went 3m walls and also built a lifting gantry with a pair of swingout cranes concreated them into the floor and bolted to the shed frame.
If I get it tidy I may put up a pic or 2,its VERY MESSY at the moment(but on the list of jobs to do over the hols!!!!)

All I can add is my missus's cousin runs/owns Garage World. Dunno if they are in your area, but he must be doing something right, seems to be the envy of his competitors too. Most of his kids have joined the business, so its a family company.
Maybe worth a look.

Robhay I feel your pain, has been two weeks since my move and I'm sick of living in Boxland, the series is chockers with my tools and stuff and the two small sheds in the backyard (not big enough too swing the black wrath around your head) are chockers with SWMBO horse stuff and the mystery boxes from the move. I'm personally looking at a 7m x 6m Rambuild shed or have been thinking of a 14m length x 4m wide one as to not take up too much play area for the kids

Get the extra height! Also I agree with go as big as you can. I have a 6 by 7 standard 2.4 high. Roller doors don't go high enough to fit the landy so the only part I can put in the shed is the bonnet. It's also to full to fit a vehicle.

I'm with you in your need. I have planning permission for my garage, so as soon as the building permit comes thorugh can start. (Hopefully in mid Jan) It is 11m x 8m with two 5m roller doors on the laneway, and a single car opening on the house side, along with various windows. Also a large room above. 2.7 High doors, so will be able to fit the Defender in, without removing the roof rack. This will give me plenty of room for a workshop, and car storage. Woohoo! I'm almost there.

Rob. Ours is from Wholesale (garages or sheds). On the H'way at Burpengary. 2 bay + workshop (9x7 mtr). The extra depth is great. Also try Caboolture Garages near Showground. They were excellent quality. Everyone makes them, but some are suspect build.
BTW mine fits the missus blonde head no problems. Funny, I've never met the blonde mates:twisted::twisted:
