Garden sheds are an essential component of any functional garden space. They offer storage for bulky garden tools, as well as for other equipment. A generous garden shed could provide enough space for plant potting or a general workshop. Additionally, a substantial shed could be utilised as an inside seating area. Garden sheds are available in a large variety of sizes and can be specified to your particular needs, providing you complete control over the amount and position of windows, type, size and location of door, and style of roof. Garden sheds normally come in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the classic style and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, especially if the wood used for the shed is matched to surrounding fences. Wooden sheds are still extremely popular, although they will demand maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to preserve the life of the shed. Garden sheds are also manufactured from metal, which is very tough and therefore ideal 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 a lot more resilient than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it's essential to make certain you pick one which will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds should be placed 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 need 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

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.
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.
