Garden Sheds in Alfreton

Garden sheds are a critical component of any useful garden space. They can provide storage for heavy garden tools, as well as for other tools. A large shed might even offer enough room for plant potting or a general workshop. Additionally, a large shed could be used as an indoor seating area. Garden sheds come in a large selection of sizes and can be specified to your particular needs, giving you complete control over the amount and position of windows, type, size and location of door, and style of roof. Garden sheds typically come in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the common design and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, especially if the wood used for the shed is matched to adjacent fences. Wooden sheds remain very popular, although they will require maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to protect the lifespan of the shed. Garden sheds are also made of metal, which is very durable and therefore great for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds also require minimal maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is far more resilient than might be expected. When contemplating a garden shed, it's vital to ensure that you pick one that will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds should be located on a flat area, and will require a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be produced from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating wooden base, but will need to be the right size for your shed and capable of supporting the weight of your shed when loaded.

Alfreton

Alfreton is a town and civil parish in Amber Valley in the county of Derbyshire, connecting the Bolsover and North East Derbyshire districts. It was a Norman Manor before becoming an Urban District, and comprises a modest population of about 7971, as per the 2011 census. Traditionally, the villages of Ironville, Riddings, Somercotes and Swanwick form a portion of the Manor and the Urban District, with a population of 24476 in the 2001 census. The presence of conveniently available and rich seams of coal and ironstone inside the region led to the development in significance of mining and iron-working in the finish of your medieval period, radically changing the conventional agricultural economy. Big numbers of tiny workings and pits have been constructed, and Alfreton became the chief coal-mining centre in Derbyshire by the 18th century. The development of those industries contributed considerably towards the town's prosperity and attracted considerable numbers of workers, producing Alfreton the third biggest town in the country by the end of the 18th century. Population growth led to the improvement of brick-making and tile-making industries within the town, in addition to boot-making, repairing and leather on account of the need for industrial footwear. Due to the decline of the sector in the middle of the 20th century, the pits closed in the 1960s and their sites are now used for other development. Alfreton is a bustling urban centre with a mixture of chain shops and a number of independent businesses, such as pubs, food outlets and also a leisure centre. For all your residence improvements, be certain to pick trustworthy specialists in Alfreton to be sure of quality.

FAQs

Where should I put my garden shed?

Try to put your shed in open space, away from trees, bushes and other buildings. This will help to protect it from falling branches and sap. It will also mean that you can access all sides of the shed for repair and maintenance purposes. Make sure you take a look at garden shed planning rules before you pick a final spot for your shed.

How to build a shed base on uneven ground?
Building a shed base on uneven ground can be as easy as digging out a sub-base and checking that it’s level. You can dig down until the soil is light brown and rather compact, then work out where the ground is uneven and move soil around to compensate. Add a weed-blocking membrane down then put plastic grids in to act as your shed base or continue to make a sub-base for paving slabs or concrete. However, you could also build a timber shed base on uneven ground using concrete blocks to level it out.
  1. Mark out the area and dig the top layer of soil, trying to get the ground as flat as possible.
  2. Build a timber frame to size.
  3. Measure out 4 rows of 3 blocks to create good weight distribution and lay in place.
  4. Underneath each block, dig around 50mm wider than the blocks and about 150mm deep. Fill the hole with pea gravel until it’s flat.
  5. Place timber planks along the rows of blocks and see how level it is. Add or remove blocks where necessary. If it’s only a small difference, use shingle underneath the timber until it’s level.
  6. Nail your timber shed base to the timber planks to create a sturdy base for your shed.
If you’ve got any questions about building a shed base on uneven ground, it’s best leaving it to the pros. Get in touch with a range of builders who will be able to offer you a quote.
How to dismantle a shed?
It can seem daunting to dismantle a shed when you want to get a new one or just get rid of it for good. Every shed is different and is likely to have been put together in a different way, but there are some general rules that you can follow to make dismantling a shed a simple task.
  1. Remove fascias and trims Unscrew or prise off the screws and nails fixing the trims and fascias to your shed.
  2. Take off doors and remove windows Unscrew hinges from doors and take them off. Remove all metalwork once the door is off. If you’ve got frames on your windows, unscrew these, and remove the panes. Be extra careful if your windows are made of glass.
  3. Take off the roof Prise off the tacks from the roofing felt and take the felt off – you can’t reuse it, so you’ll need to throw it away. Unscrew the screws on the roof boards and slide them off the shed’s frame – you might need a friend to help you do this.
  4. Take out the roof brace (optional) If your roof has a brace, unscrew the brackets that hold it to the side of the shed. Remember not to lean on anything once you’ve taken the brace off as the walls might be wobbly.
  5. Unscrew the frame from the floor Remove all the screws that are holding the shed to the base, remembering not to lean on the walls.
  6. Unscrew the frame corners Starting at the corner of the front gable, remove the screws where the panels meet. Once a panel is free, lift it carefully out of the way so you can carry on with the others.
Tidy up all your tools and debris, clearing the area to make it safe, and you’re done!
Does my garden shed need a base?

Yes, your shed does need a base. This is to give it a solid, level foundation. Open soil will not help with the longevity of the shed itself or the contents within. The best materials to use to make your shed base are concrete, natural stone or wood.
