GARDEN SHEDS
Hand built, top quality sheds from a UK manufacturer established in 1982. Based in the Midlands - supplier and installer of Apex, Pent and Potting Sheds from £580.
WHERE GREAT QUALITY MEETS GREAT VALUE
Apex Roof Sheds
This excellent quality shed is made with 2" x 2" framing, 12mm finished tongue & groove shiplap, and finished with corner trims and barge boards. The polyester based roofing felt, and the tanalised floor battens further increase the already impressive lifespan, and the mortice lock and fully framed door offer security. A fully opening window compliments the fixed windows and the building is supplied with an effective wood treatment helping to ensure your money is well spent on a building that will stand the test of time. This product is hand built to order by people that care, and included in the price, is assembled at your location by professionals.
Delivery times fluctuate from 2 weeks in the Winter and Spring up to 8 weeks in the Summer and Autumn, so order now to be one step ahead.
Pent Roof Sheds
Built using the same materials as the Apex sheds, the Pent Roof shed is also a quality product but features a roof that slopes from front to back. This design is popular in the smaller sizes as it's well suited to being tucked in the corner of the garden.
The framed, ledged and braced door features a mortice lock for security, and the opening window allows suitable ventilation should it be required.
As per the Apex roof equivalent, the pent roof sheds are finished with corner trims and painted with an effective wood treatment. Once manufactured by craftsmen, your building will be delivered and assembled for you by the experienced build team all within the complete price.
​
The Woodford Apex
A slightly different take on the Apex Sheds, in that the door and windows are located on the front elevation under the roof truss. Looking fabulous with Georgian windows, this is the closest design to a Summerhouse in the garden shed range.
Remembering that you get 2" x 2" framing, 12mm shiplap cladding and polyester based roofing felt, means this design is popular for those looking for a Posh Shed at Garden Shed prices.
Potting Sheds
When you need a Potting Shed that is built to last then this is the one for you. The bonus of having a potting shed built with the superior shed materials ensures your plants and vegetables can remain in situ for much longer.
The inclusive opening windows allow your plants to breathe, and the stable style door on the side can add extra ventilation if required.
Also included with your order is a bench at window height for your produce to sit on.
Corner Sheds
If you want to make the most of your garden by sqeezing the shed into a corner, then this is the building for you.
The door is cleverly fitted across the front aspect, and can be upgraded to double doors if required. Also available as a summerhouse, which can be a great way to view your garden from the opposite end to the patio
Shed Gallery
There may be no better way to see what shed suits your needs, than through images. If one grabs your attention, please feel free to contact us for more details. Please note that some images are for illustration purposes to provide ideas, and may have been adapted by customers.
What do I need to do?
Buying a garden shed is straight forward, especially if you have a blank canvas to work from. If you currently have a garden shed that needs replacing, this would need to be emptied and removed prior to delivery.
The 7 steps to your new garden shed.
Step 1
Location
Decide on the area in the garden where you wish to have the garden shed, and peg out the area with a few bamboo canes and a ball of string. Alternatively you can use slabs, bricks or anything to create the points that denote the area.
Step 2
Size of Building
Measure the width and the depth of the pegged area to determine the size of the garden shed you require. Write this down, so you can refer to it when getting a price online.
Step 3
The Design
Choose the style of building that prefer to have. If you have a traditional garden, then an Apex roof may be more suited. Those with a modern garden tend to choose the pent roof style. You will also need to decide on the position of the door and the style of the windows.
Step 4
Choose Options
Upgrading to double doors is a great option if you need to store a mower or a bike. You could also add more windows if needed. It could also be that you remove the windows altogether.
A painted finish is also an option worth thinking about, especially if you are landscaping the garden.
Step 5
Order your new shed
The online price will give you a good idea of the price, however most people order over the phone or by email. Once you have decided on the design please contact us so we can confirm the details with you and book the order into the delivery schedule.
Step 6
Prepare the Site
Once the order is placed, you will have a period of time to prepare the site. It may be that you have done this earlier in the process, especially if the ground needs clearing before measurements can be taken. Please ensure the location of the shed has a flat and level base - either paving slabs, concrete or wooden bearers.
Step 7
Delivery & Assembly
When the day comes for delivery & assembly, please ensure access is unrestricted to the site. Assembly will be completed within a day, providing the team have suitable parking and a clear run from the vehicle to the base.

Why do shed prices vary so much?
​Something that many people find surprising when they begin to look into purchasing a wooden shed is that seemingly identical models come at different price points. This is because there is a difference in the thickness of the timber, plus the there are different types of cladding that vary in strength and weather resistance.
Quality of Materials
Two wooden sheds of the same size, and similar appearance, but at different price points. The wood in both sheds is treated, they both have a door and also feature a window.
So what’s the difference between these two sheds, and why is one more expensive than the other?
Cost of Manufacture
The more expensive model has shiplap tongue and groove clad walls which are 12mm thick and a floor that is also 12mm thick, plus a heavy duty polyester felt roof covering. The cheaper model has overlap clad walls that are 8mm thick, the floor is 10mm thick and the roof covering is sand felt.
Cost of Assembly
The door is fully framed with a mortice lock on the expensive model. This cheaper model door uses the cladding, with a cheap lock, and no diagonal bracing or framework. Assembly is also included in the expensive model, which will have factored in labour costs, along with a cost for delivery.

1
CONSTRUCTION
The most important thing to you is how good are the materials to make your shed. the cheaper sheds use 28mm framing, whilst the next level use 34mm framing. If you compare that to 47mm framing - that's nearly double the amount of timber to start with.
2
QUALITY
Not only does the framing vary considerably, but so does the grade of the timber. The lower grades are faster grown and feature more knots and blemishes. This increases the chance of warping, twisting and breaking, whilst also being thinner and less resistant to what nature has to throw at it.
3
SUSTAINABILITY
Using better materials, that are sustainably grown will also reduce your carbon footprint. FSC managed forests produce ethically minded materials that are greener for the planet in the long term. Therefore, if you are looking to keep your shed for at least 10 years, then look for a quality product that is built to last
Explain your difference
It's fair to say that you can buy a cheaper shed, however if you're looking for something that isn't made from matchwood, then you've found it. The sheds we supply are a level above the cheap online offerings, and a majority of DIY stores, due to the materials that are used in the construction. Using our knowledge of the trade and customers expectations, we are selling a product that ticks the boxes. So if you've seen the display models at the trade centres and require something a lot better, then we're the people to buy your shed from. Here's why our buildings are at the top end of the Garden Shed Market.
….and not forgetting
Remember
Assembly is included in the price (there is no self assembly price available for our buildings). If you wish to assemble yourself then it is important to understand that this could result in your guarantee be invalidated as clearly we can only guarantee our own work, and materials which are fitted to our own high standard specification This is why we believe that it pays to let the experts build it for you.

Way To Buy
Your Garden Shed
We have a lot of experience in selling garden buildings, and understand what the customer needs in terms of a shed that is built to last. We have taken a lot of time to find a manufacturer that is as passionate about their product as we are about our customers, and their needs. This is why we have refrained from offering cheap buildings and selected a product that we know you will feel is value for money.
