Garden sheds are a vital aspect of any practical garden space. They can offer storage for heavy garden tools, as well as for other tools. A generous shed could provide enough space for plant potting or a general workshop. Alternatively, a substantial shed could be used as an inside sitting area. Garden sheds are available in an enormous range of sizes and can be specified to your exact needs, providing you total 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 common design 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 are still very popular, although they will demand maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to preserve the life of the shed. Garden sheds are also constructed from metal, which is very tough and therefore great for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds also require almost no maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is far more durable than might be expected. When contemplating a garden shed, it's important to make sure that you choose one which will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds should be placed 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 timber base, but will need to be the right size for your shed and able to support the weight of your shed when loaded.
