Hi,

It depends what your budget is. Argos do some fairly cheap sheds.

A really simple lamp or clock can sell for over £100, I just thought I'd mention it in case you like upcycling projects. I've made a few clocks for friends and I'm thinking about setting up a shop online. I'd love to be able to sell furniture like this one day: http://www.hicksandhicks.com/hicks-and-hicks/original-upcycled-bike-bar-table.aspx?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyv3XhKOq5AIVjA8YCh1I2wGVEAkYASABEgJHlfD_BwE

Where wheel builds go to die...

Have you ever tried making things from bike parts? You can make some cool stuff, especially from the gears and wheels and they sell really well on ebay.

Hi,
Have a look at steel-vintage.com or retro-bike.co.uk

I'm not sure if its the type of stainless steel or the drive type (probably both), but these screws seem much less prone to rounding :)

Sorry I assumed it would have some sort of coating on it aswell.

Thanks Jonny, it might have been the allen keys that didn't fit right and that I was over tightening them because I didn't want them to come loose.

The Clerkenwell screws website wasn't working, but I've ordered some with threadlocking liquid already on them: https://www.accu.co.uk/en/torx-cap-head-screws/255956-SHC-M4-6-A2-R360

Thanks so much for your help. Those Torx ones on ebay look good for £2.15, except the delivery time is between 3 and 9 weeks :(
If I cut a M4 bolt will it damage the coating and make it likely to rust and get stuck?

Thanks, this could work. But I was hoping for a Torx version or one with a bulky head so it is easy to grip with pliers if it gets stuck.

I’ve lost a grub screw for my OBE cartridges. I seem to either lose them or round their heads from overtightening! I’m looking for a screw with a bigger head or deeper recess so that I don’t round them.

I’d try some M4 cap head screws in the same length, but I can’t find any stainless steel ones that are 6mm long. Has anyone switched out their screws for something more substantial?

Wow it looks great so far. Have a good holiday

I think it would be easier to raise the shed up rather than digging holes for pile cages and filling them with cement. I've attached a photo of what you could do. I'd use wood screws like these: https://www.accu.co.uk/en/747-pozi-button-head-wood-screws so you can uninstall the panels easily if they need replacing in future.

I see! They would deflate immediately haha

I've lost a grub screw recently and so now I'm using cone point versions because they are less likely to come loose.

I'm really into cyclocross, and everyone wants to make their bike lighter and I've just stumbled across helium filled tires! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8upKwOrXRU
. Has anyone tried helium in their tires? I'd be interested to know how long the tires lasted.

youramericanlover, I'm not sure about the rim compatibility, but you could try a few ounces of sealant and filling the tires with nitrogen gas. Nitrogen is less likely to leak through the rubber.

I'd say Torx drives, but its important to use the right screw driver. I use this Torx screwdriver set : https://www.accu.co.uk/en/ifixit-screwdriver-kits/499152-EU145398
