Garden sheds are an essential element of any useful garden space. They can provide storage for heavy garden tools, as well as for other tools. A larger sized garden shed might even provide enough space for plant potting or a general workshop. Alternatively, a big shed could be utilised as an inside seating area. Garden sheds come in an enormous range of sizes and can be specified to your exact requirements, providing you total control over the amount and position of windows, type, size and location of door, and design of roof. Garden sheds generally are available in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the common style and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, especially if the wood used for the shed is matched to adjacent fences. Wooden sheds remain extremely popular, although they will demand maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to protect the lifespan of the shed. Garden sheds are also made of metal, which is very tough and therefore ideal for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds also require hardly any maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is a lot more resilient than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it's crucial to ensure that you select one which will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds should be sited on a level area, and will require a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be produced from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating wooden base, but will have to be the right size for your shed and able to support the weight of your shed when loaded.
The typical cost of Garden shed is £600. Costs vary based on the materials and the organisation selected. The upper price range can be as high as £690. The material costs are typically around £150

Abbey Wood is a district in south east London, in the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley. It's south of Thamesmead and 10.6 miles east of Charing Cross. The area takes its name from Lesnes Abbey Woods, which is to the east, and once belonged to the monks of Lesnes Abbey.
The history of the district goes back to the 12th century, when Richard de Luci, Chief Justiciar of England, founded the Abbey of St Mary and St Thomas the Martyr at Lesnes in 1178. The Abbott of Lesnes Abbey was an important local landlord, and took a key part in draining the marshland. The draining plus the expense of sustaining river embankments was among the causes for the Abbey's desperate financial difficulties. It never became a large community, so in 1525 Cardinal Wolsey closed it under a licence to close monasteries of fewer than 7 inmates.
Abbey Wood railway station was opened in 1849, immediately to the north of the area now referred to as 'The Village', built exactly where Knee Hill became Harrow Manorway. The Village had about 12 cottages and two pubs - the Abbey Arms along with the Harrow Inn. The Harrow Inn, which was destroyed in 2009, hosted live bands and was the scene of nightly migration as guests would relocate to the Abbey Arms each evening, as Kentish closing times were 10:30pm whereas the Abbey Arms closed at 11pm.

Try to put your shed in open space, away from trees, bushes and other buildings. This will help to protect it from falling branches and sap. It will also mean that you can access all sides of the shed for repair and maintenance purposes. Make sure you take a look at garden shed planning rules before you pick a final spot for your shed.
Yes, your shed does need a base. This is to give it a solid, level foundation. Open soil will not help with the longevity of the shed itself or the contents within. The best materials to use to make your shed base are concrete, natural stone or wood.
