Has anyone seen the sale of steel buildings by symonds and samson has been cancelled.?

Any reason why?

Were they new or used?

ALL BUILDINGS ARE NOT CE CERTIFIED

The question is, will they be allowed to sell them post Brexit?

Whats that?

Its the standard/regulations that structural steel is supposed to conform to after july 2014. Trading standards are supposed to enforce it and it looks like they have started to. Applies to new steel buildings etc.

Is it CE ?

Aren't these sheds "old stock" made in 2012 ?

Would that satisfy the little hitlers,?

Why not, it only applies to sheds made after a certain date
As for the little Hitler's, 2 words, second is off

Secondhand or used are also handy words.

I am amazed at the lack of support for a policy which is surely designed (in theory anyway) to remove the cowboys from the industry.
Why would you want a shed that is bodged together by comedians intent on gaining an edge by cutting corners.

Plenty of small time shed builders used to make their own frames, I'm not talking cowboys, just small firms working to a good standard have now been pushed out
Probably replaced by CE marked frames put up by cowboys

I'm not against it, I'm midway through gaining the necessary for it. When you get involved in it you see that there are some flaws, loopholes and very grey areas that eventually will be closed or clarifyed.

I agree the scheme may be flawed, because there are "CE marked" sheds available that I would not have as a gift.
The fact remains that any system designed to cut out the purveyors of crap sheds must still be a good thing.
