Garden sheds are a significant component of any practical garden space. They can offer storage for bulky garden tools, as well as for other equipment. A larger sized shed may provide enough room for plant potting or a general workshop. Additionally, a large shed could be utilised as an indoor sitting area. Garden sheds come in an enormous array of sizes and can be specified to your precise requirements, providing you complete control over the amount and position of windows, type, size and location of door, and design of roof. Garden sheds commonly come in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the common design and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, particularly if the wood used for the shed is matched to bordering fences. Wooden sheds remain extremely popular, although they will need maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to protect the lifespan of the shed. Garden sheds are also manufactured from metal, which is very resilient and therefore great for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds also require minimal maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is much more durable than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it's essential to make sure that you choose one that will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds will need to be placed on a level area, and will require a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be made from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating timber base, but will need to be the right size for your shed and capable of supporting 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

Yes, it is possible to insulate a shed. You might want to do this if you’re planning on working in it during the winter. A professional will be able to help you find an insulated shed or advise you on how to insulate a shed that you already have. Always seek professional advise first before attempting to do this yourself!
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.
We can help you get more garden shed work with our qualified job leads and boost your business.
