Storage Sheds

Storage Sheds

If you’re looking for extra storage space or simply somewhere to keep your bicycle, garden furniture, garden equipment and household goods then getting the best storage shed will ensure you have a secure space for your equipment.

With so many different materials, sizes and styles to choose from, it can be confusing which type will suit your needs and before you make your purchase there are a number of considerations that you need to make.

Price - you need to work out your budget so that you can get the best shed available for the price you want to pay. Buying the cheapest option may prove to be false economy in the long run.

Materials - there are three main materials options for storage sheds, wood, metal and plastic. Outdoor storage sheds with higher-quality materials and solid construction last longer and look better than the cheapest options. 

Bear in mind that a wooden shed will need regular maintenance such as repainting and repairing damaged or rotted parts. Metal and plastic sheds do not need to be painted and require very little maintenance. However, metal shed materials will corrode if their paint or protective coating is scratched or damaged, and metal doors and other parts wear over time. Plastic sheds generally need the least maintenance of all.

Aesthetics - Think about how you want the shed to look, a few decorative details could make the difference between something that is an eyesore or eye-catching. Plants can help outdoor storage sheds blend in with your home rather than sticking out like a sore thumb.

Size – make sure you measure your space and that the entryway to the unit is wide enough to accommodate your largest piece of equipment.
