    Default Cost of a shed

    I am thinking about having a new shed built.
    Nothing fancy, 12 foot x 8 foot made of concrete blocks and timber/felt roof.

    Anyone have any idea what it would cost?

    1 sheet of plywood @ £10
    88 concrete blocks @ approx 50 pence each + VAT
    Cement @ £6 per bag

    we recently built two sheds,
    1 was 9 x 6 metres, cost in blocks and cement was under £1000
    1 was approx 30ft lomg 8 ft wide, cost for plywood and felt roof, £200 max.

    hope this helps

    Thanks Commore for your help, but I would not use Gunn's as not exactly environmentally friendly are they.
    The way they left dunes after illegal excavations in Reiss was disgusting.

    Would you need planning permission for such a block built shed?
