Garden sheds are a significant aspect of any useful garden space. They offer storage for heavy garden tools, as well as for other tools. A large garden shed could offer enough space for plant potting or a general workshop. Additionally, a substantial shed could be utilised as an inside sitting area. Garden sheds come in a huge choice of sizes and can be specified to your precise requirements, providing you full control over the number and placement of windows, type, size and location of door, and style of roof. Garden sheds generally are available in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the traditional design and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, especially if the wood used for the shed is matched to encircling fences. Wooden sheds are still extremely popular, although they will demand maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to maintain the lifespan of the shed. Garden sheds are also made of metal, which is very durable 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 contemplating a garden shed, it's vital to ensure that you pick one that will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds should be sited on a flat area, and will need a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be made from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating wooden 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

The London Borough of Havering is a London borough in East London, England and forms a part of Outer London. The London Borough of Havering was established in 1965 by the combined former area of the Municipal Borough of Romford and Hornchurch Urban District which had been moved to Greater London from Essex by the London Government Act 1963. The name Havering is a reference towards the Royal Liberty of Havering which occupied the area for several centuries. The local authority is Havering London Borough Council.
The principal town in Havering is Romford and the other main communities are Hornchurch, Upminster and Rainham. Havering is bordered south by the London Borough of Bexley by the River Thames, to the west by the London Borough of Redbridge along with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and to the north and east by Essex. The borough is mainly characterised by suburban improvement with big areas of protected open space. Havering covers a total area of 43.35 square miles. There is a high ratio of area per capita as substantial areas of Havering are parkland and 23 square miles (60 km2), which is more than 50% of the borough, is Metropolitan Green Belt protected land. Those areas of development are substantial but hardly ever intensive.
Romford's urban centre is a major metropolitan retail and night time entertainment centre and towards the south the borough extends into the London Riverside redevelopment section of the Thames Gateway. Havering is served by the London Underground and there's an substantial network of London Bus routes.

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.
