Choosing the Right Type of Shed for You
Here are some of our most popular shed styles
All of our sheds are patio-friendly, perfect for placement on concrete, brick, or slabbed patio areas. As long as your patio is large enough for your chosen size of shed (we have some very large ones), you should be fine to commence with building.
Please bear in mind that if your patio is not completely level, an extra base may be required to give the shed a flat surface to stand on.
If you have wooden decking rather than a patio, check out this guide: Can I Put a Shed on Decking?
Getting a garden shed doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Whether you’re looking for basic storage or a place to get your pressing projects completed, we’re pleased to offer some of the lowest prices on the market, all manufactured with premium materials. In addition, even our cheapest wooden sheds include our 10-year guarantee.
If you need to budget carefully, our selection of cheap sheds is where you want to look.
FAQs
Usually, no. Most UK properties are allowed sheds as 'permitted developments' with no planning permission required.
Exceptions (where you MIGHT need planning permission) include:
- Listed properties and locations of 'outstanding natural beauty'
- Structures exceeding 2.5 metres height on the eaves or, if placed near a boundary, 2.5 metres total height (our sheds don't exceed this)
- Sheds placed in the front garden
- Sheds exceeding more than 50% of the garden space
There are some other rules, so check out our guide to planning permission for sheds to get a full understanding.
Since 2020, we no longer have a physical showroom and all trade is conducted online. Our website shows previews of every size of building with precise measurements to make it easy for you to make an informed buying decision.
When you visit a product page, changing between sizes will immediately show you what the exact size looks like.
Each shed material has its own pros and cons and your decision should be based on how you intend to use the building.
Wooden sheds
Wooden sheds are the most popular type of shed, and for good reason.
- Pros:
- They look great and can be painted and customised
- They are very durable against wind and rain.
- Wood is naturally insulating against heat and cold.
- Cons:
- They are flammable. Not ideal for welding or other blowtorch work.
- They require regular maintenance, including treatment to prevent rot and insect infestation.
There are multiple styles of wooden garden shed available, including log cabin sheds. All our BillyOh wooden sheds are manufactured at our purpose-built site in the UK and come with a 10-year guarantee as standard.
Plastic sheds
Don’t underestimate the practical benefits of a plastic shed. They can serve you well for both storage and workshop uses.
- Pros:
- Plastic sheds are relatively inexpensive.
- Low maintenance and long lasting.
- Quality models offer solid durability.
- Not flammable.
- Cons:
- Difficult to customise without damage.
- Can’t be painted.
- Colour might fade with time.
Metal sheds
For a low cost, low maintenance garden building, look no further than a galvanised metal shed.
- Pros:
- Metal sheds are cheaper than wood and plastic sheds.
- They can be painted with specialist metal paint.
- Not much maintenance to do.
- Galvanised models are resistant to rust as long as the coating stays intact.
- Cons:
- Can be difficult to customise with add-ons.
- Metal sheds become hot in the summer.
- At less than 1mm thick, they can dent with impact.
We deliver sheds for free to most of the UK. Check our delivery page for full details.
Unfortunately we are unable to offer an installation service. However, our wooden shed kits are designed to be easy to assemble with basic DIY tools. Metal and plastic sheds are even easier to put together, with only screws required.
If you require professional installation, we encourage hiring a local specialist. It is best to wait until you have a delivery date before booking this.
When we say a 'base', we mean a surface that is:
- Flat (check with a spirit level)
- Solid (bricks, slabs or concrete. NOT soil, grass or gravel)
- With drainage (it doesn't have to be raised, but rainwater has to be able to leave the area.)
It is important that a shed stands in a location where it will be able to easily remain upright without undue stress on the structure, and where it won't be absorbing water. Our wooden sheds all come with pressure treated floor bearers which raise the floor slightly above the ground, so you can place yours straight onto a level patio or reinforced decking without issue.
If your designated shed location is currently soft, you could level this out and use our Ecobase product to save you the work of landscaping.
The size of your shed depends on how you plan to use it. Whether you need space for tools, a workshop, or even a garden office, we offer sheds in a range of sizes to fit your space. Use our shed size guide to find the perfect match for your garden.
All our sheds are designed to withstand the UK weather, with durable roof and wall materials to protect your items from rain, snow, and wind. From treated wood to rust-resistant metal, your shed will last for years to come.
With wooden sheds, it is important to ensure that the roof felt is securely fitted without gaps.

Garden Sheds for Every Purpose
At Garden Buildings Direct, we design outdoor garden sheds that go far beyond simple storage. From compact tool sheds to full-featured garden buildings, our customers have turned their sheds into creative, practical, and even luxurious outdoor spaces. Here are just a few of the ways you can use your new shed:
Garden Gym Shed
A garden shed can make an awesome workout space and a perfect home for all that bulky exercise equipment. Check out our full range of garden gym buildings.
Garden Office Shed
Working from home offers great flexibility, but many professionals find it better to fully separate themselves from the house and retreat into the solitude of a garden workspace. Garden offices are a perfect solution for this.
Bar Shed
Who doesn’t love a relaxing drink in the garden? And with a garden bar shed, you can fully incorporate private or social outdoor food and drinks into your home lifestyle.
We’ve made it easy to set up a luxurious drinking environment by installing our garden bar counter product.
Why Choose a Shed from Garden Buildings Direct?
With thousands of satisfied customers over 25 years, we know how to make and deliver sheds. Our wooden units are made to order, manufactured at our Worksop facility with the finest British craftsmanship, while our metal and plastic sheds are carefully curated to meet the needs of British gardeners.
All of our sheds are designed to be easy to assemble, while also offering everything a garden enthusiast could possibly need.
Shed Sizes
Each of the models listed above is available in multiple sizes, so be sure to look beyond the appearance in the lead photo. Our smallest shed is the Master Tall Store which starts at just 3x2 feet for a compact garden storage cabinet, while at the high end some of the other models go up to 20 feet long. There is truly a shed for every need in this selection.
By far the most popular size option is an 8x6 foot shed, which is offered by most of the products on this page. This size works out great for storage while leaving enough room for DIY work, or to apply the shed to other activities. 8x6 feet is also the largest permitted size for a shed in most allotments.
