Garden Sheds

At Gardens4Living, we aim to to offer the widest possible choice of garden sheds including wooden garden sheds, metal garden sheds, plastic sheds of various different shapes and sizes.

The humble garden shed; typically a simple, single story structure which lives in the back garden or on an allotment and used for many different activities including storage, hobbies, a workshop and of course a solitary retreat for men from "her indoors"!

Sheds vary considerably in the complexity of their construction and their size, from small open-sided tin-roofed structures to large wood-framed sheds with shingled roofs, windows, and electrical outlets.

The vast majority of sheds are garden sheds, including allotment sheds. This class of sheds also includes potting sheds and tool sheds.

Most modern gardens are too small for more than a single shed, containing garden tools and lawn mowers.

Gardens4Living offer a range of garden sheds constructed from a range of materials including wooden sheds, metal sheds, plastic sheds as well as other popular garden buildings such as garden offices, gazebos, summerhouses and pavilions.

Wooden Sheds

Of the range of garden sheds, wooden sheds have traditionally been the most popular.

It is an environmentally friendly material and many sheds nowadays are FSC certified.

It is warm, economical, comes in hundreds of different shapes and sizes and of course can be painted in any colour the owner chooses.

The downside to a wooden shed is that it they do require continual treating unless a more expensive wood such as Cedar is chosen, cheaper sheds can be flimsy and on the whole they can be difficult to relocate, particularly the larger ones.

Metal Sheds

Over the past decade, metal sheds have become increasingly more popular due to the broad range that suppliers are bringing to market with new functionality such as roof lighting, high security lockable doors and a good choice of colours.

Metal sheds are quick to assemble and easy to maintain.

That said, metal is a cold material and not so good for keeping pets such as guinea pigs or rabbits.

Condensation can collect on tools.

Metal sheds can be noisy e.g. shutting the doors and they can incur rust problems if water doesn´t drain away.

Plastic Sheds

Relatively new to market are a range of plastic sheds.

Lightweight, easy to assemble and can be taken apart easily for relocation.

They often have wide front opening doors and require little maintenance.

On the flipside, plastic sheds are considered to be non-environmentally friendly and can look out of place in older properties.

At Gardens4Living, whatever your shed choice, we are available to help, advise and provide the right shed whatever it´s required function, size or construction material.
