Hi,
Need to buy a budget DIY garage in Essex for my Accord Type R.

Thinking about wooden one. These look like cheap enough https://www.quick-garden.co.uk/wooden-garages-alum... . Or should I go with metal one?

Any experience?

Thanks.

No direct experience, but from my research a few years ago when I was looking at garages: metal ones can give you condensation issues (unless they are insulated); wooden ones "breath" better, so condensation is less of a problem - but can give you insurance issues if there is a garaging warranty in your policy.

Bob,
Agree with you. I will try to go with wooden one and will share my experience here.

This one looks pretty decent:

Is it purely for storage or do you intend to do work on her too?

Well..it may seem a bit too late, but I will answer though, since I kinda find myself an expert in the find, 'cause I used to work at the position of Bauberater in Germany for one famous retailer of garden sheds...I guess the correct translation would be a building consultant. I consulted people regarding setting up our build-kits.
So, the garages you have provided are a bit too expensive as for the UK market..at least I can guarantee you can find better price/quality options. I know a couple of solid manufacturers in the field that produce really high-quality production, but the prices are naturally too high for marketing reasons.. Well, fair enough. On the other hand there are others that are less known, but still attention worthy.
For example have a look at the guys here:

Hope any of you, guys, gonna find this answer relevant and it would help. If you need deeper consultancy, not just a 5-minutes Google research, I'd be happy to answer your questions. I have all the time in the world, thank you COVID-19
