Yardmaster Castleton 6'8 x 4'6 Anthracite Metal Shed (2.02m x 1.37m)

The Yardmaster Castleton Anthracite Metal Shed (65AEYZBUN) measures 6'8 x 4'6 (2.02m x 1.37m) with an apex roof. Built entirely from hot-dipped galvanised steel with a baked-on anthracite-grey finish, it is weather-resistant, blister-proof, crack-proof and insect-proof. It is made in the UK and comes in a range of sizes.

The steel goes through 7 layers of protection including a primer coat, finish coat, two oxide layers and a wash reverse coat. This makes it completely maintenance-free. No painting. No rustproofing. Ever. The ridge height is 1890mm and eaves sit at 1630mm giving solid headroom for most users.

Access is through internally mounted overlapping sliding double doors (800mm wide x 1570mm tall) fitted with padlockable handles and anti-tamper bolts. No padlock is included. There are no windows so stored items stay out of sight. It will hold garden tools, a lawnmower and outdoor furniture with room to move.

A 15-year anti-rust guarantee backs the Castleton range specifically. Rust-proof screws, anchor fixings, numbered parts and a full assembly manual are all included. UK telephone support is available if needed. A floor support kit is optional but sold separately.

The frame and panels are hot-dipped galvanised steel finished with a baked-on anthracite-grey coating. Yardmaster's 7-layer system includes a primer coat, finish coat, two oxide layers and a wash reverse coat. The apex roof sits at 1890mm ridge height with a 150mm wide ridge cover that allows airflow but blocks rain. Eaves ventilation at 1630mm height reduces condensation. Sliding double doors are internally mounted and overlap to keep rain out. Anti-tamper bolts on the handles add resistance to forced entry. Stainless steel screws and an anchor kit secure the structure to a concrete or paved base.

Hot-dipped galvanised steel throughout, including panels, frame and fixings. The finish is a baked-on anthracite-grey coating applied over 7 protective layers. Stainless steel rust-free screws are supplied. No timber is used in the main structure. Made in the UK.

This shed must stand on a level concrete or paved base. No floor is included. An optional galvanised steel floor support frame is available to purchase separately but does not include timber flooring. You will need to prepare and lay the base yourself before assembly begins. The anchor kit supplied fixes the shed frame to the base.

This shed arrives flat-packed for DIY assembly. Yardmaster estimates 4 to 6 hours to complete. Two people are recommended. All parts are clearly numbered and a full illustrated assembly manual is included. Stainless steel rust-free screws and anchor fixings are supplied. UK-based telephone support is available on 0333 003 0518 if you need help during the build. Professional installation is also available as an add-on.

The base footprint is 1860mm x 1250mm (roughly 6ft x 4ft). A standard push lawnmower fits easily alongside a set of garden tools. A wheelbarrow will fit but leaves little room for much else. One bike can be stored upright. Garden furniture such as folding chairs stacks well inside. Wall space on three sides allows hooks or shelves. The optional 3-tier steel shelf unit makes the most of vertical space and is best fitted during assembly.
