Garden sheds are a significant aspect of any useful garden space. They can offer storage for bulky garden tools, as well as for other tools. A substantial garden shed could 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 choice of sizes and can be specified to your particular needs, providing you with total control over the number and position 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 encircling fences. Wooden sheds are still very popular, although they will demand maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to preserve the life of the shed. Garden sheds are also constructed from metal, which is very tough and therefore ideal for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds also require very little 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 vital to make certain you choose 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 made from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating wooden base, but will need to be the right size for your shed and able to support the weight of your shed when loaded.
The typical cost of Garden shed is £600. Costs vary based on the materials and the organisation selected. The upper price range can be as high as £690. The material costs are typically around £150

The historic city of St Albans, located in southern Hertfordshire just twenty two miles from London, is known as a popular region on the property market. The area is infamous due to the higher property selling prices, which are some of the most steeply-priced in the United Kingdom. The city still retains a lot of its traditional origins throughout the ages including the Abbey and fifteenth century clock tower. Making buildings up-to-date is necessary in St Albans in making the most from high quotations so use our vetted contractors to complete the process.

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.
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.
