The roof is crafted from 8mm solid sheet material, reinforced with a metal truss bracket, and equipped with a high-quality mineral-felt covering for comprehensive weatherproofing. Its apex design, sleek barge boards, and appealing finials provide a graceful finishing touch to its remarkably stylish look.A Secure Shed SolutionThe door can be situated in various positions and installed for either left or right-hand opening. Featuring double-Z framing for added durability and resistance to warping. Concealed security hinges and a hasp & staple plate keep valuable tools safeguarded (padlock not included).

Made from UC4 incised timber that is pressure treated, ensuring durability and a 15-year rot resistance guarantee. Base size: 7.5cm (h) x 236cm (w) x 182.6cm (d)     Plastic Shed Base KitFor an easy and quick installation, the 8×6 plastic shed base kit is perfect for bypassing the challenges of laying slabs or concrete while setting up a shed base. Its interlocking design simplifies assembly, offering a strong and long-lasting base despite being lightweight. Crafted from 100% recycled plastic, this eco-friendly shed base is reusable, should the shed need to be repositioned. The base permits ventilation and drainage beneath the shed, helping to maintain a dry shed floor. To set up the base, interlock the square grids and lay them on a firm, level surface. It is recommended to use 15kg of 10mm pea gravel per square (gravel not included). Each square measures 500 x 500 x 40mm, with this pack containing 20 squares and heavy-duty, commercially-graded weed membrane. Please note that the assembly of plastic shed bases is not included as part of our installation service. A helpful installation video can be found here. You must prepare the base as per the provided instructions before the arrival of the installers. Placing the base directly on grass is not suitable, and the installers will be unable to assemble your garden building.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
