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.

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.)
So yes, all sheds require a base.
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.
Our sheds are designed to be weather-resistant for UK conditions when correctly installed on a solid, level base and maintained as recommended. Protection varies by material and specification, so always check the product details.
- Wooden sheds: fitting the roof felt correctly (no gaps) is essential. Timber will naturally expand and contract, so keeping edges sealed helps prevent water ingress.
- Metal sheds: made from rust-resistant materials and designed for low maintenance, but correct assembly and anchoring helps keep them secure in high winds.
- Plastic sheds: low maintenance and good for damp conditions, with water resistance depending on the design and door thresholds.

Find the right shed for what you need
Most people buy a shed for one of two reasons: storage or a workshop space. That’s why our range runs from compact garden stores to larger, sturdier buildings you can comfortably work in. Once you know the job your shed needs to do, and how much space you have available, choosing the right shed becomes much simpler.
Everyday storage that keeps the garden tidy
If you’re storing tools, bikes and bulky outdoor kit, prioritise easy access (wide doors, practical layouts) and a size that fits what you own now plus what you’ll add later. Browse our wooden sheds for a classic look with lots of options, or choose low-maintenance metal sheds and plastic sheds if you want something simple to live with year after year.
A proper workshop shed, not just a box
If you’re planning DIY, woodworking or maintenance jobs, you’ll want more room to move, stronger floors for heavier equipment, and a layout that works for benches and storage. A larger footprint and a more robust build makes a big difference when you’re spending time inside, not just popping in and out.
Garden rooms: gyms, bars and home working
If you’re planning a space for workouts, entertaining, hobbies, or working from home, you’ll usually benefit from a larger size, better light and ventilation, and a layout that suits how you’ll set it up.
For purpose-built options, explore our garden gyms, bar sheds and garden offices.
The warmest and most comfortable options are definitely the log cabin sheds, so be sure to check those out for extended use.
Choosing a size that suits your space: Start with where the shed will sit, then work out the minimum footprint you need for the way you’ll use it. An 8×6 shed is a popular all-rounder for storage and light DIY, while smaller buildings can be ideal for tighter gardens and simple tool storage. For more help planning the right fit, see Which Size Shed Do I Need?.
Affordable prices & finance: Our prices start at under £200 and we regularly run seasonal promotions across our budget sheds. For larger orders over £560 you can spread the cost with flexible finance options, subject to status. Details are available on each product page and on our finance information page.
Advice & aftercare: To help you choose, build and maintain your shed, we have an extensive library of guides — from planning permission and running electricity to preventing condensation and seasonal care. Browse our shed advice section.
Delivery & support: Sheds are delivered flat-packed in pre-assembled panels with clear instructions for easy DIY assembly. We offer free delivery to most of England and Wales, with low-cost delivery to other areas. If you’ve got questions, our UK-based team can help by phone or via our contact form.
