Sheds

When choosing your shed, consider what you’ll be using it for, where it will be situated and what type of material will best suit your needs. To make storage and movement within the shed easier, it’s a good idea to go for the largest shed you can accommodate.

There are three different shed types to choose from:

Wooden sheds

Wooden sheds are popular for their attractive and traditional appearance. They require some maintenance and need to be re-treated every year with an external wood preserver. All wooden sheds come with a floor and a felt roof.

There’s a choice of two finishes:

Overlap timber is rough sawn to the touch and constructed with each slat overlapping the other, giving a more rustic appearance.
Shiplap timber is shaped and formed with each piece connecting to the next with an interlocking tongue and groove joint. The finished panels are nailed into place giving a superior finish to the outside of the shed and making them more damp resistant.

Metal sheds

Made from 100% galvanised steel, they are rot and rodent proof and require no maintenance. All metal sheds come with a manufacturer’s 10-year guarantee, are lockable for extra security and classified as non-combustible.

Plastic sheds

Plastic sheds all come with a floor included and are weather resistant and maintenance-free. The larger sheds have a steel reinforced structure and all are lockable for added security. They require minimal, simple assembly.

Style

There are two different style sheds to choose from:

Apex – a central ridge with sloping sides. A robust style of roof with a traditional, attractive shape.
Pent – a single rear-sloping roof allows rainwater to run off the building and gives generous headroom within the shed. This style is ideally situated against a wall or fence.
