    It's expensive because its designed to do a few things:

    It ensures that the flue tempoearature stays warm to ensure good air flow, especially on long runs through buildings, if run externally/outside walls etc.

    It also complys with building and fire regulations. The twin wall ensures that there is an air gap between heat source and any flamable/ combustible materials.

    It protects against burns if accidentaly touched by people.

    If you are intending to put a stove in a shed and it is a small run then you could consider using a single flue and wrapping/ insulating it yourself and encasing it in wire and clading it with firerated plasterboard if necessary.
    It may not look great but does it mater in the shed?
