Garden Sheds in Burnham-on-sea

Garden sheds are a vital component of any useful garden space. They can offer storage for cumbersome garden tools, as well as for other equipment. A sizeable shed could provide enough space for plant potting or a general workshop. Alternatively, a big shed could be used as an inside seating area. Garden sheds come in a huge selection of sizes and can be specified to your exact requirements, providing you full control over the number and placement of windows, type, size and location of door, and style of roof. Garden sheds generally are available in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the typical style and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, particularly if the wood used for the shed is matched to adjacent fences. Wooden sheds remain very popular, although they will demand maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to preserve the lifespan of the shed. Garden sheds are also manufactured from metal, which is very strong and therefore ideal for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds also require almost no maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is far more durable than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it's crucial to make certain you choose one that will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds will need to be located on a flat area, and will require a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be made from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating wooden base, but will have to be the right size for your shed and able to support the weight of your shed when loaded.

Burnham-on-sea

Burnham-on-Sea is a town in Somerset, situated around the mouth of the River Parrett and Bridgewater Bay. Before the 18th century, Burnham was a tiny fishing village. Its expansion started when it became a popular seaside resort during the Victorian time, at a time when seaside holidays were very fashionable. It's part of the parish of Burnham-on-Sea and Heybridge, and it shares a town council with Highbridge, a nearby market town. As recorded in the 2011 Census, the population of the town was approximately 20,000. As a consequence of the town's positioning on the edge of the Somerset Levels and moors where they meet the Bristol Channel, Burnham's history is dominated by land reclamation and sea defences since the Roman era. Due to the town's position near the mouth of the River Parrett, there's a higher threat to boats in the area. Lighthouses are, consequently, significant landmarks close to the town, with the original lighthouse, the Round Tower, built to take over from the light on the top of the 14th-century town of St. Andrews Church employed to decrease the amount of shipwrecks. The High Lighthouse is 34 metres in height, and 1 lighthouse is known as 'Lighthouse on Legs'. The construction of a stone pier was completed in 1858 by the Somerset Central Railway. Soon after its establishment in 1860, a steamer service to Wales began, although it was not a commercial success. A second steamer service, concrete pier, completed following 3 years of work in 1914, is known as the shortest pier in Britain. Despite its small size, the pier was shortlisted as being one of the leading 5 piers in Britain.

FAQs

Can I insulate my shed?

Yes, it is possible to insulate a shed. You might want to do this if you’re planning on working in it during the winter. A professional will be able to help you find an insulated shed or advise you on how to insulate a shed that you already have. Always seek professional advise first before attempting to do this yourself!

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 make a shed door?
There are a few ways to make a shed door and each has their benefits, but we’re going to go through a quick guide on how to make a ledged and braced shed door, which is a good option to stop the door from dropping over time. Tools and equipment required
  • Tongue and groove timber boards
  • Boards for the ledges and braces, at least 20mm thick
  • Nails
  • Hammer
  • Saws, including a circular saw
  • Chisel
  • Mallet
How to make your shed door
  1. Cut your boards to size If you can’t buy boards at the right height and width for your door, cut the boards to length using a circular saw. Don’t forget to sand and treat any cut ends with timber preservative. Lay out the boards in the best arrangement for your shed door, with the inside of the door facing up.
  2. Arrange the ledges and braces On most shed doors, you’ll probably need 3 boards across the back of the door to form the ledges. The ledges keep the door straight and keep the boards of the door together. The braces are the parts of the door that slope down to form a ‘Z’ shape between the ledges. Ensure that the braces are sloped up from the bottom and middle hinge to stop the door from sagging as the timber expands and contracts in the weather. Once you’re happy with the arrangement, mark the spots on the boards where they will meet and cut out of the housings using a chisel and mallet.
  3. Put the door together Use clamps to pull the boards together and hold the ledges and braces in place. Nail from the front of the door through the boards and ledges to fix them. Secure the ledges and braces with screws; you may want to pre-drill and countersink holes to prevent the wood from splitting. Remember to treat them with preservative if you do.
  4. Fix the shed door hinges Make sure you measure carefully before attaching the hinges, ensuring you know where the pin sits in relation to where the door opens.
  5. Treat the door and add locks and handles Apply some wood oil, like linseed or teak oil, to help prevent water damage. Then add locks or handles to your shed to help keep it secure.
  6. If you’d rather leave it to the professionals, there are plenty of specialists that will be able to make a shed door for you, or even put up an entire shed.
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.
