    Looking to get a good quality, reasonably priced, pre-assembled small timber garden shed, any recommendations?

    We got one 5 years ago from McT wood products in Ballygawley. It's been a water tight great little shed for what we paid. The price included it assembled and they came and built it on the exact spot we wanted. I know they are still in business and worth a look at I'd say.
    Not local but "Sheds Direct" are based in Dublin. During lock down we wanted a metal shed and after much research, their prices were the best so I ordered one. They deliver anywhere in Ireland, it cost us 70 euro for delivery to Sligo, we wanted delivery only but they do provide an "assembled" cost, you would have to check it out. It was delivered within 48 hours which amazed us and the staff were very helpful.

    I was in touch with McT Wood Products, very nice man, very helpful. I would be happy to go with him. The only problem is the 8 week lead-in time that he told me I would have to incur.

    Any other suggestions anyone? Seems to a serious backlog? Anyone?

    A friend of mine used to work for a crowd in Donegal. I'll see if I can get their name and number. Don't know anything about them other than he worked assembling them on site.

    Didn't get one. It's the same everywhere I look, 6-8 weeks. Personally I would be looking t&g or shiplap.

    Got this one from McT in Ballygawley, very happy with it

    If you have to wait anyway, it might be worth spending a little extra and get something maintenance free

    Does it rattle with the wind? Bought a metal shed online from Outdoor Superstore, complete disaster. Wasn't fit for purpose. I was keen to go get a timber shed from McT but the lead-in time is ridiculous, as it is with all the shed sellers right now.

    It's two years old and has been through plenty Sligo storms, no rattling I heard and certainly no damage.

    McT used to have a demo shed, I'm sure they still do ...go rattle it yourself :D

    They look decent, compared to the rubbish that I bought online, out of my budget though.

    Ordered with MCT almost two weeks ago. I was advised that it would probably be the full 8 weeks before I receive it.

    I also had to wait a bit for mine, which was good in a way.
    I managed to get the floor delivered first, this way I could make sure that the base was placed absolutely correctly (mine's on a slope) and also gave me a chance to dowse the floor in several coats of creozote (which should help with the whole longevity plan)
