The wooden garden shed is the essential component of any self respecting gardener’s garden! It’s almost a pre-requisite. Got a garden; need a shed! And if you’re investing in a shed, you’ll want to consider the classics. Think garden shed; think wood.
A wooden shed isn’t just a storage place for your tools; it’s more than a place to pot your plants; it’s an essential feature of your garden. Unlike other materials, which all have their own particular qualities, wood will age and grow with your garden. Rain, wind and the unpredictable English seasons won’t batter your sturdy wooden shed, but they will temper it. Only wood will blend into your garden, and become a part of it.
So if you’re choosing a shed, be choosy. After all, a shed isn’t just for summer; it’s for the life of your garden! Think about the sort of features that will complement your particular garden space. There are just so many quality wooden sheds on the market today that you can afford to shop around until you find the shed of your dreams. (It’s true! Aspirant gardeners really do dream about the perfect shed!)
Wooden garden sheds are available in all sizes. And when we say “all sizes” we really mean it! Even a little slip of a garden can accommodate a garden shed. ‘Miniature’ wooden sheds, storage sheds and storage boxes will blend into the smallest garden spaces unobtrusively, giving you the storage capacity you need, with none of the attendant loss of space. At the other extreme, it’s just a question of how much shed you want! Think of a shed; pick a size; double it – wooden garden sheds can be made to fit your requirements, whatever they might be.
Even the oddest shaped lawns, most irregular garden boundaries and downright awkward spaces can fit a garden shed. You’ll find corner fitting wooden sheds, wall store sheds; some that are big and tall; some that are wide and spacious; rectangular, round and square sheds. Truly, for every garden space, there is a shed!
It’s not just size and shape that you need to think about. What about all the other features that will set your wooden shed apart from the rest? Good looks and security, for example. Fortunately wooden garden sheds are blessed with looks in abundance. Pre-treated timbers and rot proof guarantees will ensure that they draw the eye and retain their looks for years to come. Add to that the range of optional colours and finishes; choice of windows and you’re really getting spoilt for choice! And, because you’ll be building your shed from solid timbers (all farmed from sustainable sources) you know that you’re getting a solid structure for your money. Added security comes by way of sheet metal roofing and sturdy locks.
For all the variety, there is a constant: wooden sheds are made to last. They’re strong, they’re sturdy, and they’re beautifully finished for a lifetime of use. They’re even easy to assemble. Your shed will be delivered flat packed, ready for home assembly. Simple to follow instructions and simple tongue and groove fittings or nail together overlap fittings make the whole thing … well, simple! And that’s the beauty of a wooden shed – that something so simple can make such a positive impact on your garden.
