FAQs
Usually not. In England, a shed is normally permitted development if:
- it isn't in front of the house
- buildings and extensions cover no more than half the land around the original house
- it's no taller than 2.5m overall if it's within 2m of a boundary
- if it's further away than that, it's no taller than 4m with an apex roof or 3m with a pent roof, with eaves no higher than 2.5m
Rules are stricter for listed buildings, conservation areas and National Landscapes, and they differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. See our guide to planning permission for sheds for full details.
Why Choose an Overlap Wooden Shed?
If you need secure garden storage quickly and on a budget, our overlap sheds are the ideal solution. Unlike premium interlocking designs, overlap cladding is constructed by layering 7mm horizontal timber boards over one another, nailed securely to a robust internal frame.
This traditional construction method provides two fantastic benefits for the budget-conscious gardener:
- Highly Cost-Effective: Because the manufacturing process is simpler and uses less timber volume, we can pass those savings directly to you. It is the most affordable way to get a high-quality, UK-manufactured shed into your garden.
- Excellent Water Runoff: The overlapping design mimics traditional roof tiles. When the British rain hits the walls, the angled boards allow the water to cascade smoothly down the outside of the building, keeping your tools and equipment dry inside.
Purpose-Built Overlap Storage
We keep our overlap collection highly focused so we can offer you the best possible price. Our current range caters to the two most common garden storage needs: a full-size Pent shed designed to sit neatly against boundary walls for everyday household storage, and compact, lower-height mini sheds that act as the perfect secure lockup for bikes and tools.
While these models represent the most budget-friendly entry point into our wider wooden sheds collection, we don't cut corners on the foundations. To ensure your new shed stands up to the elements, we reinforce both models with heavy-duty 11mm tongue and groove floors and roofs as standard
Assembly & Delivery
Our overlap garden buildings are designed with the DIY-er in mind. They arrive with pre-cut timber panels, green mineral roof felt, and comprehensive instructions, making assembly a straightforward weekend project for you and a friend.
Please note: To maintain the structural integrity and weather resistance of your overlap shed, it must be built on a firm, 100% level base.
