We've recently moved house and am looking to buy a bigger shed 8x8ft. To the one which is currently here.
Am i thinking to much about which shed is best? I didnt realise they could be as expensive as upto £800, for what i think is a decent one and looks nice! Planning on ply boarding it with insulation behind so does it really matter how expensive it is. Any input much appreciated. Ive been looking through posts on here to what people have and the setup.

I would build a shed around a shed an stuff insulation fluff between the 2 perimeters. But i dont know how hot that would be in summer. Find a 2nd hand shed and do it up a bit if needed
 
Any shed will need maintaining - painting, potentially re-felting of the roof (either through normal wear and tear or through wind pulling the felt off) but I’d go for quality first because it’ll make maintenance easier if you know it’s been well built out of good quality materials in the first place.
The shed my pigs are in gets hot in summer, so I have to keep a very close eye on it. They spent most of the daytime out in the run anyway so it has been manageable but just yesterday it was 22 degrees outside but 29 in the shed.
 
I've been looking at sheds because my garden shed needs replacing. If you have a look at this company, you can 'customise' your shed, and it is possible to have one for under £600 - though that would be not using pressure treated wood, which seems to add quite a bit to the cost though presumably is meant to make it last longer.

I have actually been on this site. And may go with it. But thanks all.
