Look at the one below. It’s not cheap, but it’s too flimsy, flätig indeed, you can’t really translate that from Platt. The top cabin, the impregnated one, is already rustic, but with Swedish red and white you can make it chic.

By the way, Yvonne, where is the upper one from?

The upper one is also available similarly at OBI, but the photo is from gartenpirat. Lower one from OBI online... I also got a 10% voucher at OBI online during an online promotion... Both are probably free of shipping costs... I have not yet gone through the ordering process. Both under 900 €. Edit: the upper one has a plastic glass roof

Bremer wants 899,- for the lower one. The doors only close with force. Too fresh wood that has warped. The glass pane in the door is also very thin.
Better to spend a similar amount on the biohort from AT, even if it's made of metal. But it's solidly made. We were looking at sheds for lawnmowers. Karsten

PS I checked it out on Gartenpirat. Well, one review says it all. Always look at these things in person. Don’t buy online.

Hehe, I know the reviews... they're all about the same. But we saw the one without the lean-to roof in someone’s garden yesterday. Very crooked in the wind. Mine costs about 400 more at OBI and has 20mm boards, so it's of better quality. I didn’t want to start with anything under 19. The one at Gartenpirat has 16mm boards, I just noticed [emoji33] The metal parts are certainly good, but they don't come into question visually. I also want the lean-to roof included. My husband should be able to chop the wood in the dry [emoji4] You often can't look at them in person though. They only have the usual ones on display.

We have the "SSH Speyer 3 naturbelassen" from Hornbach. It has a 3 m x 3 m base area and side walls made of 38 mm round profile with tongue and groove. Roof in 19 mm. Additionally, a wooden floor, also 19 mm.

My thoughts on it:
- I (! ) don't think I would have come out significantly cheaper with wood from the specialist timber trade and DIY. The planning effort alone... When am I supposed to do that?
- The assembly instructions for the house are rather rubbish. I suspect that's the case for all of them!
- Now I know how, but best is to help a friend with the first house. The second one will then be your own .
- The wood itself was of good quality, not warped etc. The wrong/missing parts were promptly delivered (of course this throws the schedule back by weeks, you only occasionally have a free weekend).
- About the foundation... I couldn't sleep peacefully if the house just stood there. I fixed it firmly to the foundation. Maybe paranoid, but we've experienced more (severe) storms here than the years we have lived in the house.
- Whether the square floor plan is really good remains to be seen. I have a feeling a rectangular one would be easier to use.
- With the external dimensions, 38-mm wood is already more stable.
- You also have to sort out the roofing and drainage yourself.
- A splash guard makes sense, otherwise dirt gets hit against the bottom.
- We initially painted the individual parts twice with solvent-based wood protection primer. Under the pavilion, because of rain. Then assembled it (that was last autumn). As soon as there are three free dry days, insulating primer and final coating will follow [@Nordlys: reddish brown and light ivory. The ladies of the house did not want Scandinavian red]).

That’s it for the beginning ...
