Garden Sheds in Kirkwall
Garden sheds are an essential element of any useful garden space. They can provide storage for heavy garden tools, as well as for other equipment. A larger sized garden shed could even offer enough space for plant potting or a general workshop. Alternatively, a substantial shed could be utilised as an inside seating area. Garden sheds are available in a large array of sizes and can be specified to your precise requirements, providing you total control over the amount and placement of windows, type, size and location of door, and style of roof. Garden sheds typically 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 are still 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 resilient and therefore great for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds also require hardly any maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is a lot more durable than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it's important to make certain you pick one which will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds will need to be located on a flat area, and will need 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 have to be the right size for your shed and capable of supporting the weight of your shed when loaded.

FAQs
- Remove fascias and trims Unscrew or prise off the screws and nails fixing the trims and fascias to your shed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove any existing fascia boards Remove the fascia boards and the old felt if you’re re-felting.
- Measure the shed roof Measure the roof, taking into account that you should leave around 50mm for overlaps at the eaves and 75mm at the gable ends. You’ll probably need 3 pieces of felt, but some smaller sheds only need 2.
- Apply felt to the roof Once you’ve cut the felt to size, apply the each piece to the roof, pulling it tight. Then nail along the length of the roof at 100mm intervals. For nails at the bottom edge, they can be wider – around 300mm. If you’re adding a piece of felt in the middle of the shed along the apex, fix it using adhesive, then nail it at the lower edge at 50mm intervals.
- Tidy up the overhangs Fold down the felt at each overhang and nail it securely. Cut a slit in the overhang at the apex using a pen knife, then fold that down and nail at 100mm intervals along the gable. If you like, you can add fascia boards to keep the shed looking neat. Use wood nails to secure them and then trim away any excess felt.
