Anyone seen/have one of these?

The thing that appeals to me is that they are not too deep. We are looking at one that is no deeper than about 48cm and this seems quite good.

Thanks in advance.

wouldn't it be better and a lot cheaper to make your own ?

If I was skillful enough to, then maybe! :)

Not that hard, why not have a crack. Take your idea to a local woodworking club and you'll get all the help you need and learn something along the way.
I'm the guys at the Triton club in Holmesglen would be more than happy to assist.

Yeah - a sheet of marine ply, few bits of treated pine, wee bit of tin for the roof, dowell and hey presto!

Thinking of having a go myself...

Would anyone know of any plans or tutorials on how to build a slimline outdoor cupboard for outside? The cupboard back would butt up against a brick wall of the house.

Thanks

Painted treated pine battens, corrugated polycarbonate sheet, sides and roof and a packet of plastic coated screws - no plans - just made it up as I went along. 1.5 m long, 0.5m deep, 2.1 m high. One half contains my DC (outside the shed) and the other half contains 4 fibre cement (so it doesn't matter what spills on them) shelves and holds all SWMBO's garden sprays, poisons, fertilizers, seeds etc out of the shed. Works an absolute treat.

Here is the thread that discusses some more about it.

Just click on that link mate, and you're there. You could use the darkes poly sheet, if you wanted 'privacy'.

BobL, do you have any more pics of that unit? I like it...just wondering how you did the doors? And are the sides sealed up? Does rain get in?

Cheers
