The Traditional Wooden Garden Shed

By: Michiel Van Kets Home | Home-and-Family | Landscaping-Gardening


Wooden garden sheds are a common sight throughout the country as they are ideal for storing tools, bicycles and other bits and pieces. Sheds are versatile and can be easily adapted to suit most people’s needs. Just take a look online and you will find a huge range on offer from various manufacturers, and with prices that suit every budget a garden shed is the number one preference for storage and extra working space.

The garden shed provides a safe haven for many people. They are well known for being a quiet place to retreat to when you need a few minutes alone, typically located at the bottom of the garden you are guaranteed peace and quiet. They can also be easily turned into a workshop for hobbies and interests and people use them for any number of purposes, from making clay pots and growing seeds, to woodwork projects and breeding rabbits.

Perfect for storage you can ensure any dangerous chemicals or tools are safely removed out of the way of young children’s reach. Or if you don’t have a lot of storage inside the house then they offer a place to keep large toys, bicycles, golf and BBQ equipment. Keeping everything under cover will not only prevent it from getting rusty and damaged, it will also keep it safe and help to keep your garden nice and tidy.

A timber shed is convenient as you can easily make changes or adaptations to it. If you have lots of tools then consider customizing it with shelves and hooks to tidy tools away neatly, or fix up some basic shelves, brackets and hanging rails.

Wooden sheds are amongst the most popular types of shed as their natural look fits well in a garden environment. They come in a variety of different shapes, sizes and dimensions and whether you are on a tight budget or have the finances to get something more expensive, there is a wide choice. It is worth paying a bit more if you want a real timber shed as they will last a lot longer than cheaper products, and with the wet UK weather you need it to be durable and strong.

There are plenty of options when it comes down to finding a wooden garden shed suitable for your needs. Before you start shopping decide exactly why you need a shed and what it is going to be used for. Then have an idea of the size you need, if windows are required, and what material is most practical. Wooden sheds are useful, hard-wearing and very easy to take care of, whilst providing you an adaptable storage and working space, all for a very competitive price.

Check out the Shiplap OSB Apex, durable and robust it has shiplap tongue and groove cladding and Styrene opening windows and comes in 4 size options. Or how about the Shiplap OSB Pent Shed, slightly higher in price it is a popular choice with its pent style roof angled at a slant to ensure the rain rolls off. The roofing felt allows the underlying timber to be protected from wood rot and fungal corrosion and the robust framing and tongue and grooved cladding will ensure this shed lasts. There are three sizes available in this range.

Higher up in the price range is the elegant Heritage Store Houses made using traditional Waney lap timber which has been certified as carbon neutral. The buildings have felted timber roofs and opening styrene glazed windows. The original Heritage Store House has nearly 4m2 of internal space and an opening window, plenty of space for all your extra bits.

Take a good look around before deciding on any particular company to buy your shed from as some will offer free delivery and installation, and prices are competitive. If you have a good idea of what you want, but can’t exactly find it, then why not give them a call? There are even companies that offer to design garden sheds tailor made to your specifications.
