malc d Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hmmm ... well Practical, but I don't find it very attractive I'm afraid. ( Well, you did ask for comments ). :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGD Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Looks fine. In fact, for the money it looks very fine. If it does the job, that's all it really needs to do. Maybe beef up the locking system a bit though?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza454 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Sorry Neil, but I have to agree with Malc on this, and again, you did ask for comments.It was obviously designed to store tools in your back garden and that's probably where it should stay.

lizken Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hinjw Don't take any notice of the mocking comments I have a garden store(green&black),similar to yours, which has travelled to the Channel Islands,andthroughout the UK, with any people admiring it. At cost of £29.99 against £300+ for aFiamma there is no contest I'm With You, Pal :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Maybe it would look better in white if you can find a suitable paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njw Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 hi tracker ,was only thinking about that today but will have to wait till i get back from malvern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Does the same Job as a Fiamma for a fraction of the Price, Great, I agree with Tracker give it a spray of Plasicote paint it'll be fine. I managed to pick up a Second hand 500 litre Fiamma Box but it still cost £150. :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Very interesting!! If your axle can stand it, room for another set of bike racks on top. What about a few chickens inside, fresh eggs for breakfast. Got to admit for the money you can't fault it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Neil, I must admit it looks like it should be on the back of one of those 'Classic old Bedford motorhomes ' from New Zealand,all timber-clad with a veranda. Remember that the Max. load on a Fiamma bike rack is 60kg. thats box AND contents, but it should take outside chairs etc., and still be well within that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 You don't have to stick to one design of store - I've just had a shuftie on the B&Q site and there's quite a variety, here are just a few: First, we have the cheap and chearful one - on offer at half price: Basic store For those of you who need more space, there's this big 'un! Big 'un For those with a bit more 'class' there's the posh version ... Rattan store And for the old codgers there's this one which can be used as a bench: seat store And finally, the one for clowns!!! Clown store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
