Garden Sheds in Omagh

Garden sheds are a critical element of any practical garden space. They can provide storage for large garden tools, as well as for other equipment. A generous garden shed could offer enough space for plant potting or a general workshop. Alternatively, a sizeable shed could be utilised as an indoor sitting area. Garden sheds are available in an enormous selection of sizes and can be specified to your particular needs, providing you complete control over the number and position 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 design and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, especially if the wood used for the shed is matched to surrounding fences. Wooden sheds are still very popular, although they will need maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to preserve the lifespan of the shed. Garden sheds are also made of metal, which is very resilient and therefore ideal 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 much more durable than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it's crucial to ensure that you choose one which will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds should be located on a level 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 timber base, but will need to be the right size for your shed and able to support the weight of your shed when loaded.

??Omagh is the county town of County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, with a population of 21297. It lies in an area where the River Drumragh and the River Camowen combine to formulate the Strule. The town is a reasonable distance from Ireland's capital city, Belfast, being 68 miles to the east of Omagh, but it is nearer to Derry, which is 34 miles to the north of the town. Positioned at these cities are Omagh's closest public air links, although a smaller air strip, Enniskillen Airport, can be found 24 miles to the southwest of Omagh. As a result of the town's central location in County Tyrone, Omagh is generally viewed as the primary shopping centre for Tyrone, together with the West of Ulster. In between 2000 and 2003, more than ? 80 million was invested, and a brand-new retail space was established, covering 60.96 square miles. This features a wide range of national and regional businesses, providing residents of the county with a variety of shops, dining establishments, junk food outlets and pubs to go to. A current job in the town, which began in 2014, is the development of the Omagh Accessible Shared Inclusive Space, which includes a ? 4.5 million redevelopment of Omagh's riverbank. The project is financed completely by the European Union. A popular landmark often visited by residents is the Ulster American Folk Park, which includes the cottage where Thomas Mellon was born in 1813. The park is largely an open-air museum which examines the journey made by the Irish to America through the 1800s. Hosting large events during Easter, Christmas and Halloween, over 100000 people visit the park each year.

FAQs

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.

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!

Generally, you don’t need planning permission for a shed if you live in England or Wales. This applies whether it’s a wooden, metal, plastic or brick shed. However, there are a few conditions your shed will have to meet to not require planning permission:

The shed doesn’t cover more than 50% of the garden
It’s not in front of your house
The shed is single-storey with eaves no higher than 2.5m and the overall height is no taller than 4m for a dual-pitched roof, or 3m for any other type. If it’s located within 2 metres of your property’s boundary, it mustn't be more than 2.5m high
There’s no veranda or balcony
The floor area is no bigger than 15m² - up to 30m² may be covered under Permitted Development if other conditions are met
The shed is for domestic use only by those who live in the property and there’s no sleeping accommodation – that means you can’t run a business from the shed unless you apply for planning permission

Exceptions Of course, there are always exceptions:

If you live in a listed building, you’ll need Listed Building Consent before you can build a shed in your garden
If you live in a conservation area or similar, the maximum area of ground covered by outbuildings, pools and enclosures situated more than 20m from any wall of the house mustn’t exceed 10m² if they’re to be considered as a permitted development
If you own a piece of woodland, you must seek planning permission for any permanent structure
In Scotland, you’ll need planning permission if any part of the shed comes within 1m of a neighbouring property or is more than 2.5m high
In Northern Ireland, there are rules about how close your shed can be from a road that passes by the back of your house. It’s best to check for clarification

So if you live in a straightforward house in England or Wales, you shouldn’t need planning permission for your shed. If you’re in any doubt, make sure you check with your local planning office.

If you spend time in your shed, whether you use it as a summer house or an office, you’ll probably want a bit of insulation in there for when it starts to get chilly. There are different ways to insulate a shed, and some aren’t expensive at all. You just need to decide what the best way for you is. Bubble wrap If you don’t spend too much time in your shed, bubble wrap is an easy and cheap way to insulate your shed. Simply attach bubble wrap strips to the framing of the shed to create an air gap, then screw or nail a sheet of MDF over the top. Fibreglass wool Fibreglass wool is a good option if you want to insulate your shed further. Make sure you use safety equipment to protect your eyes, nose, mouth and hands when you’re handling it. Tack a breathable membrane to the inner walls of the shed, then place the fibreglass wool on top. Add a sheet of MDF or wood board, ensuring all the fibreglass is covered. Insulating shed windows and doors You'll often feel draughts through shed windows and doors, and these are easy to block up. You can use foam filler or liquid wool along the edges of the windows and gaps in the door frame. Let it dry out after you’ve applied it then cut off any excess. Insulate the floor If you’re building a new shed, you could fit some underfloor insulation to the grid of the shed base – it could help reduce up to 40% of heat lost through the shed floor. But if your shed’s already built, you can line the floor with a breathable membrane then lay a rug or piece of carpet down. The membrane underneath stops any damp or rot forming, so it’s best not to lay a rug straight down on the shed floor.
