Are you looking for a more secure garden tool storage or shed workshop? Do you need a storage solution which is maintenance-free and longer lasting than a standard timber shed? Why not purchase a metal storage shed online and take advantage of its strength, versatility and longevity!
Metal garden sheds are no longer the old rust-buckets you might see falling apart in your grandparent’s garden. Our modern designer metal storage solutions give you a clean aesthetic with a hardy structure - the best of both worlds. Plus, we can’t be beaten on price; we offer metal storage sheds that are both high-quality and affordable. Take a look at our huge range of metal shed products and find the perfect product for your home.
Though our metal products are lighter than our wooden sheds, they’re no less durable. The galvanised layer underneath the surface protects the metal from weather elements and prevents the formation of rust. This protective layer also delays the onset of corrosion and reduces its effects on steel sheds. All in all, a metal shed can stand up to heavy rain, snow and wind as well (or better) than other materials.
When it comes to safety, our metal structures provide better security and are free of fire hazards. Metal is by its very nature fire-retardant, and can withstand significant natural blazes. If security is your concern, most of our sheds can be fitted with a lock to deter thieves. Rest assured that whatever items you have stored will remain safe at all times.
If you hate having garden shed maintenance, metal garden buildings are the way to go! A wooden garden shed has a great traditional aesthetic, but with natural products like wood, you have to consistently battle the effects of weather and natural wear and tear; meaning repainting, refinishing and recoating your wooden shed walls and even the floor, to ensure it stays sturdy.
With a metal tool shed on the other hand, you barely have to worry about maintenance. Every five years or so you may want to repaint these structures, but other than that, the occasional hosing down is all the maintenance you have to do!
Weighing a lot less than our wooden shed products, metal designs are easier to assemble — you don’t need to be a builder to put it all together! Our products are made from lightweight aluminium and easily slot together with only a few handheld tools. All you have to do is follow the accompanying guide to install a metal shed in your garden. Most often, all the equipment you need comes with the package, so there is no prep work needed or any additional costs.
For all of these reasons, a metal garden shed is a versatile garden storage solution. Use a metal shed as a garage to store cars, motorbikes or push bikes securely, or as somewhere to keep your toolboxes and gardening equipment. Better yet, a large metal tool shed could double up as a garden workshop for DIY projects.
To suit all these varied uses, we offer a variety of shed styles. Apex roof sheds provide the extra headroom for a workshop or garage, while a pent roof is ideal for a basic storage shed. Other metal storage solutions include a dedicated log store or metal storage box.
They’re affordable! Many brick-and-mortar retailers aren’t able to sell at the price we do at Garden Buildings Direct. Why settle for an expensive storage solution when you can get quality and aesthetic at a low price?

Metal sheds constitute a great option if your desire is to convert your shed into a workshop or merely use it for garden storage. There are a number of advantages which can be solely attributed to metal sheds:
Though a base isn’t essential, we would always recommend getting a substantial base to go along with any garden shed purchase. For a metal shed, a solid concrete base represents the best option, as a hard-wearing base designed to support a great deal of weight.
Though, it is worth noting that one of the biggest advantages of metal sheds is that compared to wooden and plastic sheds, a foundation isn’t as important, due to the heavy-duty nature of their construction. Essentially, the larger a metal shed, the more likely it is to require a foundation, due to needing a strong base to provide support.
The true temperature that a metal shed is capable of reaching internally depends on how hot the temperature is. In the UK, it rarely gets exceedingly hot and as a result, the inside of a metal shed will rarely surpass a mild temperature.
Of course, on an especially warm day, with the sun consistently beating down on your metal shed, the internal temperature will rise somewhat. To prevent any negative consequences of this, you may want to consider leaving a door open.
Finding a metal shed which is sold with included insulation is incredibly rare. However, if you do wish to insulate your shed, in order for it to better regulate and maintain a suitable temperature, then this is certainly doable!
Be sure to apply plenty of attention to the process of picking the most suitable insulation type; whether it be foam boards, fibreglass wool or bubble wrap.
Any type of shed, irrespective of the material it's made from, will eventually leak to some extent, as a result of weathering which inevitably occurs to garden sheds over time.
In a metal shed, this issue can be counteracted by waterproofing your metal shed, which will offer the additional benefit of lowering surface temperature and thus reducing any cooling costs.
Luckily, this is a relatively simple process. After removing debris and dirt, tighten any loose screws on the roof, covering over cracks with trowel-grade coating. Then, apply seam tape over anywhere that the horizontal and vertical seams meet. Finally, apply two coats of metal primer to the roof and then paint the entire roof with acrylic latex roof coating.
Condensation is a common problem amongst metal sheds, but not necessarily one which you should be greatly concerned about, provided the proper steps are taken to tackle this.
Condensation occurs in a metal shed when surface temperature, air and water vapour alike all collide, resulting in droplets of moisture covering walls, ceilings and other internal surfaces.
The good news is that here at Garden Buildings Direct, this issue is largely negated, due to the vast majority of our metal sheds containing vents for added air circulation. Allowing fresh air to circulate in and out of your metal shed will help to negate the effects of condensation. Barring this, it is advisable to occasionally open your shed doors to allow fresh air in.
Reduced weight per package helps to ensure that metal sheds are some of the easiest to construct. This certainly isn’t an assembly project which requires you to be an experienced builder in order to put everything together.
Simply follow the instructional leaflet provided with your metal shed. As a general rule, the only equipment required will come within the package, so no prep work is needed and no additional costs are incurred.
