May 25, 201313 yr Looking for a pre-fab outdoor storage shed to keep the paint, garden tools etc in. Can't find a thing. RubberMade makes a great one but it seems not available here. Any one have a suggestion? Much appreciated.
May 25, 201313 yr Searched for a year and found nowt, so had one built properly with bricks and mortar as it was the only way.
May 25, 201313 yr A very long time ago Makro was selling plastic garden sheds I kick myself for not buying it when I saw it Next time I went back it had gone...sold They must be available in Thailand
May 26, 201313 yr agreed; a nice little metal garden shed would go well. I'm also looking out for shade cloth. Not the chewed up plastic bags they seem to use here, but properly woven shade cloth with grommets sewn in. I fitted some on some west facing windows in Oz, and they looked good and worked well.

I cannot help with the storage shed question; I, too, had one built with cement blocks. But as for the canvas, you should be able to find what you're looking for at the tent and canvas shop on the south side of Highway 3029 just west of the Ping River. http://goo.gl/maps/rK7v2
May 26, 201313 yr Author The companies that produce the portable toilets could simply pull out the throne and do well selling them as Garden Sheds. One poster mentioned this would be a good business as it seems this concept and product is not manufactured here. I agree and wonder why not? Farang's tend to work in there yards, paint and maintain. Thais will generally job that out to the local gardner and labor crews. Never the less, as you drive around your moo-baan you consistently see materials stacked along the driveways and in the corners of the properties.

May 26, 201313 yr Not that difficult to make a metal one. A welder could put one together in sections that you could bolt together, or even with pieces that you could bolt together. Screw on the sheet metal sides and roof.
May 26, 201313 yr Have you ever thought of buying a 20 foot shipping container? You would need to contact some container companies and I am sure you would be able to buy one. If you go to Bangkok could look around Klong Dtoi. (bad spelling I know). Their are so many empty containers going to rust all over the world.

While they're about it, they could import a few hundred Hills Rotary Hoists. If you're ozzie, you'll know exactly what I mean. The only other country I've seen them, in was Papua New Guinea!
May 27, 201313 yr For some reason, I just had to go watch Monty Python after seeing this heading... Arthur "two sheds" Jackson
May 27, 201313 yr Ran this by my wife once for our backyard out in the country. Her reply. No cannot, danger from the snake go inside. After 10 years together I've learned to laugh and only fight the battles I can win.
July 28, 201313 yr Author any updates on this? I have been looking for a prefab garden shed for 2 years. Still looking as well. Surely there is a market here for such. So many plastic injection molding companies in Thailand. Look at this one from Rubbermaid. They make several sizes, this is there big one.
July 28, 201313 yr someone sent me this link. http://www.thaitechno.net/dip/productdetails.php?id=79875&uid=40146 A bit larger than I am looking for but, I am going to contact them and see if they have other sizes.
July 29, 201313 yr Author Rubbermaid: Here are some sizes. Please post if you find them anywhere in Thailand. http://www.rubbermaid.com/category/pages/subcategorylanding.aspx?CatName=Outdoor&SubCatId=RoughneckSheds
July 29, 201313 yr On the 118 (on the left side) on the way to doi saket there is a place that sells small wooden bungalows. Not cheap though, i think they are 100k and up, but would also double as a nice beer drinking shed since they also have structures with balconies. You could also stick the mother inlaw inside during visits.
May 5, 201412 yr Hello, better late the never.... I have been doing research for lawn, garden sheds and found some being sold at Home-Pro they are made by Keter. I found them on there on line shopping sight, there not that cheap. I was trying to fide out how much they were there or if it would be better to get one here before the move and just put it in the container with some of our other stuff we are bringing. I know that I will be getting a gas BBQ here before the move because they are almost $4-5 hundred dollars more there for the same model here,...lol here are some prices on the sheds there at Home-Pro, in Baht : 6x3=29,999 (non Keter), 6x3=35,220 , 6x6=44,999 , and 8x12=89,990 Keter Summit.. hope this helps you and others.... I'm serious thinking of having one built on sight with block and tile roof to match house, it just might be cheaper.. LOL Edited May 5, 201412 yr by rsbg1
May 7, 201412 yr A very long time ago Makro was selling plastic garden sheds I kick myself for not buying it when I saw it Next time I went back it had gone...sold They must be available in Thailand Friend had a small plastic shed a few years ago although not sure he bought from Makro. It didn't take long before is was faded and the plastic was getting brittle. Sun just too strong here.

Mine is 8x14 feet and cost me less than 18,000, albeit that was three years ago so material prices have risen. Should last forever in comparison to wood or plastic. Don't know how i could live without it now.
