I’m quite a keen gardener, with quite a large lawn. I’ve just bought
myself a new ride on lawnmower and am wondering about whther I should
also get myself a dedicated outdoor metal storage shed as theres no
space in my garage! Had a look online, and seen the metal garden shed at
an online store called Asgard 'Metal Sheds, Metal Bike Sheds, School
Storage' (http://www.asgardsss.co.uk) which looks great, but wanted to
know how easy it would be to install?


Not much to set up but it looks almost too small for a ride-on
mower... first big gust of wind will blow it away... hardly worth the
trouble and expense to anchor it down. If all you want is something
small, inexpensive, and simple, to protect just a mower... I'd
recommend a tarp type cover... I don't see the point to a permanent
installation for something so tiny... one of those covers for a small
sports car makes much more sense. If I'm going to erect a permanent
garden shed it has to be large enough to storage all my gardening
equipment with plenty of room to spare. That doll house sized thing
doesn't appear tall enough for an adult to stand upright.

First thing I think you'd need is a place to park your contraption.
Continual water vapor condensing on machinery, is not a good deal. You
could spend a lot of time greasing and painting but why? A nice concrete
slab would be where I'd start. Then you could put a cover over your
contraption, or do a post and lentil frame around it with a corrugated
fiberglass roof.
