Flat bed 5.5m trailer (or car trailer) and a suitable tow vehicle. Little bit of overhang but attach a suitable lighting board and maybe a marker you'll be fine.

May have to handball the sheets onto the car trailer though.

Sorted.

I know you said earlier it was a nuisance but can't you get them cut in half.
That way you could hire a vehicle and collect them yourself

the feather edge board option must be the cheapest way out surely ? £250 max would do the walls ,then if you have to pay top money for the roof sheeting its still got to come out cheaper and with less agg than slapping down to wales.
I did my shed (started life as temp classroom) 28ftx16ft as above for about £725,and the boarding looks a lot less industrial than the sheets .........PS i bought the plastic coated sheets of a firm in east grinstead who sometimes have end of runs that can be bought worth the chips !!!

Pps looked on ebay there are firms doing plastic coated box profile sheets 3mx1m any colour for £1.25 ft inc del .Sounds cheap to me,dont forget you will need ridge eaves &foam infills as well as fixings .l

Well chaps I'm not going to Wales as I never won them.

They sold for £1,320.10 tonight way over my budget, I was a little short with my bid of £450.55 lol.

I've now found others in derby 18 feet long lol, it's getting closer to home Luton.

I'm really after something to see me out on this job, I built it about 9 to 10 years ago, and don't fancy doing it again in my life time....

Thanks Simon

Simon cant help wondering if you want a do it once only job if your not best to bite the bullit and buy new .The trouble with second hand is it always looks second hand,time you plug holes ,sort out dents try and match ridge & eaves it will take longer and never look 100%.
I think in the long run if u factor labour into the equation it cant come out that much more,but looks wise there is no comparison .
Just my take on the job...good luck
