FAQs
Storage sheds are often available in wood, metal and plastic designs - as is the case at Garden Buildings Direct.
Wooden storage sheds offer a traditional, authentic design and boast the potential to be utilised in a number of different ways beyond storage. Metal sheds are incredibly heavy-duty, thanks to reinforced galvanised steel. They also offer maximum privacy with windowless designs. Plastic sheds are long-lasting with a uniquely modern design that will compliment the vast majority of gardens.
Outside of having individual covers for cushions which can be taken on and off as required, the most suitable solution is to merely move your cushions on and off your patio as necessary, placing them in your new BillyOh storage unit during times of extreme weather such as heavy rain or biting cold.
In England, most garden storage units fall under permitted development, which means planning permission isn't usually needed. Height, how close the unit is to a boundary, whether it sits forward of the house, and how much of your garden is already covered by outbuildings all affect this, and rules can differ in conservation areas and for listed buildings. Our planning permission guide explains each rule. If in doubt, check with your local council before you buy.
While it can be worthwhile to support local businesses, online providers such as Garden Buildings Direct can offer lower prices and a greater range of garden storage products.
When you buy from Garden Buildings Direct, you are supporting a British business, and in the case of our wooden buildings you are supporting UK manufacturing.
Patio Storage Containers for Sale
Most of the products on this page are suitable for installation on a patio (and the other item is a garage). Provided the space is large enough and the surface is level, a patio can be used as the base for a shed. Our wooden sheds come with pressure treated floor bearers that allow them to stand directly on such a surface.
Types of garden storage
Depending on what you want to store (and how much), there are a wide range of options available to you. Many of these storage units are multi-functional, so if you see something listed as a bike shed, that’s not necessarily the only thing you could use it for, and it could store something else.
For storing a large amount of items and things such as BBQs, wheelbarrows, furniture and spare parts, you might want to consider going all the way in getting a garden shed. But if you’re trying to find a lower scale solution, here are the best options for you.
Bike storage sheds
Sure, you could just put a bike in your garage or standard garden shed. But if that takes up too much space in those buildings, perhaps a dedicated storage container is required. Our bike sheds are secure, durable, and just the right size for storing bicycles.
Bin storage
If you find your council wheelie bins an eyesore, hide them away in one of these wheelie bin storage sheds. Doors at the front let you roll the bins straight out on collection day, with room left over for garden equipment.
Outdoor storage boxes
Ideal for small items such as cushions, toys and tools, our garden storage boxes are made from durable plastic designed to keep rain out, and fit neatly at the side of any outdoor space.
Some of these boxes are also the right size to be used as seating as well - check out our storage benches.
Storage garages
They’re big enough to fit a car, but they also make great buildings for general storage. Check out our range of garages for protecting your vehicle from the elements.
Outdoor storage cabinets
These compact, narrow units fit neatly at the side of a garden. Unlike a storage box, they open with a front door, so your tools and equipment are easy to reach. If you're looking for waterproof outdoor storage cabinets, our plastic models are designed to keep rain out with no treatment needed. Our wooden cabinets are weather-resistant, and when they're built on a level base and well-maintained they will keep your belongings dry.
