Wood Garden Sheds For Outdoor Storage - UK

Having a garden shed is an essential for most medium and large UK gardens. Unless you have a built in storage room on the outside of the house, you are going to want somewhere to store the lawn mower and other garden tools and equipment. If you have an attractive, well designed and well cared for garden, it is best to have a wood garden shed of high quality that blends in well and maintains the standard you have set for the rest of the garden.

Wood is the traditional material for garden shed construction, and wooden sheds are still the most popular type of shed today. One of the drawbacks with using wood for outdoor sheds, though, is the potential of the wood to rot very quickly, and the maintenance responsibility does encourage some people to choose alternative metal sheds, which are nothing like as attractive.

Maintenance, though, need not be such a worry if you choose a shed made from high quality wood, and treated properly to prevent rot. The sheds below, for example, are all treated with a spirit based preservative, but have an additional option of a top coat that will come with a 7 year guarantee against rot. While maintenance is required, it is made much easier by the best treatment before leaving the factory.

Garden sheds come in a variety of traditional styles. The wooden cabin style shed above is made from redwood, and uses high quality materials throughout. The shed pictured is 6ft square, but other size options are available. The standard features include:

• 4 fixed windows

• Mortice lock and key.

• Joinery standards throughout.

• Standard Single door width of 5'9x 2'6

• Standard framing of 44x27mm chamfered eased red wood

• 12mm T+G redwood shiplap side cladding.

• 12mm T+G redwood "V" board floor

• Spirit based dip treated, treat again within 3 months of installation

However, there are some options available to improve the shed further, and if you have children, the safety glass option may be a very good choice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another redwood shed, above, is in the traditional apex style, and also comes in a wide range of sizes, with similar standard inclusions to the cabin shed, and many optional extras.

The final example of a wooden garden shed (below) is a traditional potting shed. Providing you with somewhere warm, dry and cosy to do your plant potting in winter and spring, the potting shed is an idea that goes back hundreds of years. Potting sheds are a must for serious gardeners in cooler climes.
