Garden Sheds

Materials and size will influence the price of a garden shed, but sheds tend to be cheaper than, say, garden offices. Expect to pay a few hundred pounds upwards for the average garden shed.

It’s often cheaper to build your own garden shed than buy one, but, beware, it’s not always as straightforward as it looks. Building a shed means putting in the work and sourcing the materials, as well as having the right tools, equipment and skills. For peace of mind that you’re getting a good-quality shed that has been installed by experts, it might be worth it in the long run to buy a shed.

It tends to be cheaper to build a garden shed out of metal rather than wood, but both materials have their uses and plus points, so it’s more important to find a shed that’s right for your needs.

A garden without a shed is missing something – so, yes, a garden shed is absolutely worth it! Whether you use it to store equipment and tools or for pottering, a garden shed will get plenty of use.

Location of a garden shed is perhaps not as important as a garden office or home office, for example, as most people just use it for storage. However, it should be handy and accessible if you intend to use it a lot. A garden shed may be situated in any awkward or shady areas of the garden not used for planting, sitting or other purposes.
