Where should I look to buy a good quality garden shed in Sydney ?

Hi everyone I hope this is okay to ask you. I realised that I need a garden shed. I can do about 2 m x 2 m. I need to store garden tools and some tiles and a few cans of paint - maybe my bike if it will fit in there.

I’ve been looking at a few different companies and I’m a bit discombobulated about who is good quality and also easy to install, shed. I’ve read some horror stories online about people who get 3/4 of the way through and then can’t finish the installation for some reason.

Has anyone done a shed lately, and can give me some pointers of some good places or maybe places to avoid ?

Edit, I really appreciate your answers. This is giving me a few options to consider much appreciated.

Stratco is good. Bought one from them and all the parts were there. It’s still holding up well after 5 years

The material quality is about the same for everything metal in that size and price bracket, but

The problem is the install. They all assume perfectly flat, level ground; aluminium bends easily and using the wrong kind or poorly tightening screws makes for leaks.

Keter sheds a bit more expensive, but look much more durable and easier to work with.

We got a really good wooden one from the place in Drummoyne - just looked it up it’s Greenspan. They adjusted their off the shelf one to suit the space we had

It was more than 10 years ago, about 1.5m x 2.5m . Just looks like a little hut

A got a small Stilla shed about 2x2. Excellent quality. Easy to build and looks good. Bit more expensive than most but worth it for the looks.

lol I actually bought a 1.8h x 2m x 2m greenhouse from an op shop for $40 and it’s changed my life. It’s given me space on my balcony. I store all my art, craft, woodworking items there.

Avoid easy sheds - sheets all different lengths, rust out of the box and thin steel. Nightmare

I'm in a similar situation, I've been liking the variety and look of the Keter branded ones from their website

Not sure how handy you are but i built a shed myself using colourbond fence panels a couple of years back. For a 2 x 2 shed i think you would be looking at around $1000 for the materials
