3M X 4.2M Side Linked Flat Pack Container Bundle (Galvanised)

Two 3m galvanised stores joined side by side with a matching galvanised linking kit, opening up 11.3 m² (121 sq ft) as a single room rather than two separate boxes. This is the plain galvanised version — the same bundle is available powder coated where the finish needs to look deliberate rather than functional. Side linking gives you a room you can walk around in, which is the point: you can reach things at the back without unloading everything in front of them first.

Keep the surplus panels — this is the one thing people regret

The bundle comes apart as easily as it goes together, and the two stores can later be split and used individually. That only works if the spare side panels displaced by the link have been kept. Close the two stores back up as standalone units without them and you cannot, and they are not something that turns up in the shed three years later unless somebody put them somewhere deliberate on day one. Store them flat, somewhere dry, and remember where.

What is in the bundle

• 2 × 3m galvanised flat pack stores plus 1 galvanised side-by-side linking kit
• Two sets of doors; each additional store brings another set
• Door positions specified at opposite ends, or both on the same end
• Hand-carried components, hand assembly, no crane access required
• Individually re-usable units; dismantle and relocate whenever the site changes
• Links in one direction only — side by side or end to end, never both
• Twelve months’ cover on the units as supplied new

Settle the door positions first

Put the doors at opposite ends and the result is a drive-through layout, which suits long items pushed in one end and pulled out the other. Keep both on the same end and the whole working face stays on one side, better where the store backs onto a wall or a fence. It is a five-minute decision at planning stage and a considerably longer one once the structure is bolted together, so settle it early.

Delivery and buying

Free UK delivery, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey included, and no VAT added at checkout — the price shown is the total payable. At 704 kg the bundle arrives as flat panels rather than two rigid boxes, so no crane or HIAB is needed and the components can be walked to a position no lorry could reach. Where placement on arrival matters, agree it in writing before delivery. Cover runs 12 months on the units as supplied new, alongside your 14-day right to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and a separate 30-day right to reject faulty goods under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Other configurations

Want the same bundle in a colour finish? That is the 3m x 4.2m powder coated side linked bundle. Longer footprints run on 4m stores — see the 4m x 4.2m side linked bundle — while narrow sites are usually better served end-linked, as with the 6m x 2.1m end linked bundle.
