Yes, you absolutely should consider purchasing a garden shed! Not only are they highly affordable, but owning one will open up a whole world of possibilities. Owning a shed will enable you to clear out the clutter in your house, garden and garage - with the ability to store everything in your brand new garden shed.
You may also be able to pursue hobbies that you previously couldn’t, with the space offered by a garden shed allowing you to take on projects which may have otherwise been made difficult by a lack of space.
We offer a number of excellent garden sheds for sale throughout our range. Here are four of our top garden sheds to give you an idea:
The Keeper is the perfect garden shed for new couples/families who are looking for a budget solution to their storage and DIY needs.
With robust overlap walls to provide water-proofing, as well as tongue and groove roofing and flooring for additional structural strength, the Keeper is the ideal starter shed!
The Master Apex garden shed is as versatile as it is practical, thanks to 7 unique size options which ensure you can fit a model to fit your garden's shape and specifications.
This is a perfect garden shed for storage, with wide opening double doors making it easy to transport larger tools in and out of your shed.
Thanks to its strong tongue and groove construction, the Apex Workshop represents a fantastic space for pursuing DIY tasks and other hobbies.
A windowless option offers additional security and privacy to your garden shed, while the windowed alternative allows plenty of natural light into your workshop.
If you need extra, and easier, access to your garden shed, then the dual entrance reverse apex workshop is perfect for you. With improved access to your garden building and four sizes to choose from, you can customise your garden shed to suit your garden.
If you're looking for sheds for sale near me, consider the below:
- Price vs. Quality - This can be a tricky balancing act, but just remember that a garden shed is an investment for the future. We suggest going for a shed built with better materials (like high-quality European sourced timber) at a slightly higher price, so you can be safe in the knowledge of getting an excellent garden shed.
- Material - Wooden, metal and plastic sheds each have their own unique advantages. Think about what you plan to use your shed for, as well as your own personal stylistic preferences.
- Location - Aside from the size of your garden, you should also think about how you intend to use your shed. You don’t want to place it in an inaccessible area, or one which receives little natural sunlight.
Undoubtedly the most popular type of garden shed, wooden sheds have been a staple of gardens for years, thanks to their multi-purpose use and classic look. Listed below are some the most important wooden shed advantages:
- Traditional aesthetic.
- Wooden sheds are multi-purpose. Easily used as either a DIY workshop or a storage area.
Highly customisable. Wooden sheds can be painted and modified to suit your personal preferences.
Metal garden sheds have seen a serious rise in popularity over recent years, thanks to their sturdy nature. Here are some of the best reasons to buy a metal shed:
- A budget-friendly, affordable option.
- Easy to assemble.
- Durable. Perfect for heavy-duty DIY.
- Virtually maintenance-free.
Plastic sheds are the ideal choice for those seeking a low maintenance, yet highly practical garden shed. Discount sheds don't have to skimp on quality, though. Here are a few of the biggest advantages of plastic sheds:
- Highly portable and easy to build. You’ll have little difficulty in moving a plastic shed from one area of your garden to another.
- Long-lasting and durable, thanks to the impermeable nature of plastic.
Multi-functional.
This depends on several factors, such as how you intend to use your garden shed, your budget and the space available in your garden. If you plan to use your garden shed for storage, then a small 4x6 storage shed will be more than sufficient. If you want a workspace then something bigger, like our 20x10 Expert Reverse Apex Workshop would be better.
Our BillyOh garden sheds come complete with assembly instructions upon purchase. Your garden shed will be delivered as panels that simply require assembly with the help of a friend. You will require a hammer or mallet, a Stanley knife, level and tape measure, and a drill. All fixings will be provided. Even our large sheds for sale can easily be put up by you and a friend.
In general, as long as your proposed garden shed isn't:
- Taller than 2.5m (within 2m of a boundary)
- Larger than 50% of your garden
- Two-storeys
Then your shed should fall under your ‘permitted development' rights. Still, these may vary and it’s a good idea to check with your local council. For more, check out our guide to garden shed planning permission.
