These sheds, available in various sizes and designs, are all expertly crafted in the United Kingdom.

Pressure-Treated Wood with a 4Life™ Pledge
This timber storage building is pressure treated to prevent decay and is backed by an exceptional 25-year anti-decay promise, the lengthiest in the market. With no need for additional treatment, this building will save you both time and money. One 4Life™ Storage Building is all you’ll ever need!
Innovative Modular Design
Featuring an improved fully modular design, this garden storage building comes in smaller, interchangeable panel sections for simplified assembly compared to most wooden structures. This flexible design also allows for multiple door placement options, enabling customization to suit specific needs. With 30% more framing than traditional wooden buildings, this 12×8 storage unit is not only easy to assemble and versatile but also exceptionally sturdy.
Structure Construction
The walls are constructed from 7mm overlap cladding, enabling efficient rain drainage while allowing natural movement of the timber throughout the seasons. In contrast to typical overlap structures, the boards feature straight cuts for a more elegant appearance.
The 14mm solid wood floor is 40% thicker than standard shed flooring and comes with pressure-treated bearers for additional protection against ground moisture. The roof, made of 8mm solid sheet and reinforced with a metal truss bracket, is covered with premium mineral felt for complete weather resistance. The reverse apex design, smooth-planed barge boards, and decorative finials provide a stylish finishing touch to the building’s appearance.
Enhanced Security
The double entrance doors are equipped with double-Z framing for added strength to prevent warping. Hidden security hinges and a hasp & staple plate ensure the protection of valuable equipment (padlock not included). The windowless feature adds further security by deterring unwanted attention. The high roofline offers ample headroom and enhances storage capacity.
