Thank you for considering one of our handcrafted sheds. We pride ourselves on building strong, reliable sheds tailored to your needs. This guide answers the most common questions and explains everything you need to know before ordering.
What our sheds are made from
All of our sheds are built using 47x50mm framework, 12mm shiplap cladding for the sides, and 12mm tongue & groove boards for the roof, floor, and door. The roof is finished with a flat bitumen-bond felt.
What comes as standard
A 30″ wide door, a single fixed window for sheds up to 8×6, and two fixed windows for sheds larger than 8×6.
Sizes & customisation
Every shed is made to order – we can build almost to the inch. Ask our team for a free site visit if you’re unsure.
What the price includes
All quotes are itemised for transparency. The price includes VAT, primary treatment in a red cedar wax-based oil, installation, and local delivery (other areas available by arrangement).
Windows & doors
Doors and windows can be positioned almost anywhere. Glazed doors and windows are available as upgrades.
Height
Standard shed height is 6’3”. Taller sheds are available, but planning permission may be required.
Primary treatment
Each shed is treated inside and out with our red cedar, wax-based oil treatment. Safe for children, pets, and plants.
Insulation options
We can quote for paper lining or poly/TGV lining. Roofs are not lined.
Lead time
Our current lead time is 8–12 weeks.
Ongoing care
We recommend applying an oil-based treatment suitable for smooth wood once a year. Ask us for advice if unsure.
Preparation
The site must be level and firm. Gravel or natural earth bases are best for drainage. Groundworks can be quoted if agreed in advance.
Access
Let us know of any access issues – site visits can be arranged.
Electrics
We do not install electrics but can recommend a qualified electrician.
Old sheds
We are licensed waste carriers and can dispose of your old shed legally – ask for a disposal quote.
Next steps
To secure your order, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required. The balance is due on the day of installation, payable by bank transfer, cash, or card.
