I'm looking to buy a new shed for my piggies as my current 10x12 is old and seemingly not water tight. They are in the house at the moment but with 8 and lots of outdoor space and a massive run I can attach to any shed I want to get ready for them to enjoy some more space outside so does anyone have any recommendations for the best shed to get and where to get one from in the UK?
Any advice appreciated as I've been looking forever but not sure the best one to get?

Mmmmm I’m sorry I can’t offer advice as my piggies are indoors
Great that you are planning ahead and I’m sure some forum members will be along with their ideas and experience
Good luck !
 
Mine spend half the year indoors and half out as they can obviously have much more space outside
 
I had my piggy shed custom made by a local outbuilding/greenhouse company (so I could add things like stable doors etc) - maybe you have something like that near you?
 
I've been looking for one like that but there's so much choice then that I've got stuck with the best setup to go for and for it not to cost a fortune.... I keep trawling the Internet looking for setup ideas!

I had a custom built shed with summer house attached made very quickly - it’s very sturdy and designed as I wanted and actually not as expensive as you think.
A lot of sheds you can buy are quite flimsy and you need it to be rodent proof
 
Exactly as @Roselina has said:
It is worth spending a bit more and getting one made, good quality, thicker wood means you are getting a better shed that will last
 
You can have an area for storage in a custom made shed too
 
I've found someone but just for a basic insulated shed with a mesh interior door and stable door its over £3,000 so may need to keep looking!

If you’re on Nextdoor site you could ask for recommendations
 
I have ordered one from a local garden centre. I wanted to see one in person so to speak before I committed to it.

It was almost two thousand with no insulation or extras.
