Log cabin company or block shed

alliemac

Hi there,
We need extra storage for the big appliances i.e. Washing machine dryer etc and all the usual shed stuff. We have a decent size garden so space is not an issue.
We were looking at these shed/office on the Internet.
Has anyone any experience of this company, any feedback would be great.
Or do you think a block shed would work out better?

Without any science or building experience, I think any wooden building is time limited in our climate. Two or 3 years and you'll be forever patching it, painting it, repairing it - I'd stick to blocks

Yes it is the executive one. Maybe we should do a similar one in blocks.

From a practical point of view is it really a good idea to put a washing machine or tumble drier in a shed detached from the house? Imagine what it would be like having to bring your all laundry in and out on a cold wet winter's day. Perhaps you could look at building a proper utility/laundry room attached to the house and use the shed for the "usual shed stuff".

It is certainly safer anyway, there has been numerous cases of drier's catching fire and partially and wholly destroying the house.

Hi
Have a look at steeltech sheds ballina co mayo. they have some good stuff
I am buying a 20x10 shed off them. very pleased with construction and they will do all foundations/gutters etc of course at a price. There is a inner lining on sheeting. They have branches around the country and are Irish Made.
i prices around and found their prices to be competative

It's more space saving really with the washer and dryer but it probably would be safer and can hide all the washing out there. Out of sight out of mind!!
I will check out steeltech we just wanted it to look attractive as well as be functional
