We are committed to providing the best value for money by making use of only the best high-end materials, which makes your garden structure a lasting life-long investment.

Here are our top 10 items to keep in mind prior to making your purchase of the cheapest shed:

Every single one of our structures can be delivered and set-up at no cost within our complete end complete service.

Are they open to your ideas and thoughts?

Quality Construction

The use of heavy-duty timber is crucial to the endurance and durability of your structure. A lot of sheds are built with the larchlap the cladding. It can provide people with the best value for money however, as a cheap option is unlikely to last for more than the span of a few years. Find a shed which is constructed from redwood pine instead of whitewood spruce since it’s less prone to knots breaking loose. We make use of sustainable FSC(r) certified lumber and we consider our environmental responsibilities seriously.

Base

A sturdy, professionally laid concrete base is the perfect foundation for any garden construction. Paving slabs are suitable for smaller structures.

A well-constructed floor

To ensure a durable and strong flooring, we suggest 19 x 125mm flooring boards with tongues and grooves placed on 38 x75 mm planarised floor joists tanalised at a minimum of 350mm (from the center of floor joists) away. Man-made floorboards used on substandard sheds bow, bend and then begin to decay. We also give our customers with the option to have their floors insulated particularly if they plan to spend long hours working in their garden.

Windows

Joinery-made windows are more durable and they are less likely to leak than the equivalent. The toughened glass is much more resistant to breaking and should it ever fall it does so safely. that makes it an ideal choice for children if they are in the room. Also, consider whether you would like the option to open your windows especially during warmer seasons.

Doors

Doors made from joinery are stronger and are designed specifically for your home and, as a minimum, we recommend a framework that is 75 x 75mm that is planed. The ability to select the method you want your door to be hung or even having options for your door, such as double or glazed doors, is always highly desirable.

Roof

A damaged roof is among the indicators of a poor shed, so select a sturdy construction. We suggest 19 x 125mm tongue and groove board mounted on the frame 38 x 75mm. The frame should be covered with an extremely strong felt like 35kg of roofing felt made from mineral. Another option for roofing include cedar shingles and roofing tiles that look beautiful and are capable of enhancing the lifespan of the roof. A green or sedum roof is also attractive and will certainly help to improve the environment and natural climate control for your shed.

Paint

The finish of the paint is among the most prominent and important elements of the exterior of your shed. You should select an option that is in keeping with the aesthetics and design of the garden. A higher quality finish significantly minimizes the need to maintain. Be sure the garden structure is treated with a preservative in order to keep woodworms and fungi out. We provide a range of paint options, including Farrow & Ball, Sikkens and our exterior paint System which provide an extra level of protection from the elements.

Security

Garden Sheds are frequently used to store objects that are valuable. So, security must always be an issue. Security packs are a good solution. Security Pack addresses this need by offering bar security, high-quality anti-pick lock, as well as screws that cannot be returned on the hinges of the door.
