What size shed do I need for my garden?
A 6x4 shed holds a mower, a wheelbarrow and hand tools, which covers most small gardens. If you want bikes in there as well, go to 8x6. Measure your plot and leave at least 300mm all round so you can treat the walls and clear the gutters.
Which shed cladding should I choose?
Overlap boards are cheapest and fine for dry storage. Shiplap boards interlock and shed rain far better, which suits an exposed garden. Tongue and groove costs most of the three but the boards are thickest and the joints stay tight for years.
How long does delivery usually take?
Times vary by retailer, but most cheap sheds arrive within 3 to 21 days. Larger workshops and made-to-order buildings can take longer. The courier normally rings ahead to book a delivery day, so someone needs to be in.
Can I put a shed up myself?
Yes. A 6x4 is a two to four hour job for two people with a screwdriver and a spirit level. A 10x8 takes most of a day. A solid, level base makes the whole thing far easier, so it pays to prepare that first.
Do I need planning permission for a shed?
Usually not. A shed counts as permitted development provided it stays under 2.5m high within 2m of a boundary, covers no more than half the garden and is not used for sleeping. Listed buildings and conservation areas follow stricter rules, so check with your council before you order.
Do you sell sheds directly?
No — we are a comparison and listing website. When you click through to buy, you go to the retailer's own site to complete the order. That means you keep the retailer's guarantee, returns policy and customer service.
