I'm looking for a steel shed/garage approx 25' x 17' - basically bolt down and job done.

I have a raft foundation in place.

Any recommendations/pitfalls I should be looking out for?

I got mine from shanettesheds.ie and fine. Came and did the job, no problems

Beige with Grey roof is nice..

Go visit their showrooms.

Ring the salesman (Damian McLoughlin) for best price not list price.

Consider Insulated Version (cannot retrofit), I regret not getting it insulated.

No connection other than customer.

Thanks monagt and Sue Ellen.

NP, good to help, remember Insulation, you cannot retro fit and a can of coke in my shed exploded during the snow last year. Maybe it would have happened anyway without heat.

OH, and something else, the steel shed come with lots of vents so to let condensation run down and out gap at bottom (in uninsulated) which allows condensation to run out.

But, the damn spiders come in and spin webs..........................and I hate them.

A fine material taped over the vents will block the spiders while allowing ventilation.

Good idea but might be a bit messy at the bottom where the water escapes.

You could use a metal gauze screwed in place with a few self-tapping screws? Always a solution
