Value Overlap Double Door Apex Shed
Perfect for accommodating garden tools, outdoor furniture, or larger items like bicycles and lawn equipment, these sheds also make excellent workshops for gardening, woodworking and crafting hobbies.
Built for Durability
Designed to withstand the changeable British weather, Waltons’ extra large sheds are built from resilient materials. Many models feature shiplap cladding, an attractive finish which provides extra weather resistance. For a cost-effective alternative, overlap cladding is a robust but slightly cheaper choice. Go for an apex roof if you want a traditional feel or a pent roof if you prefer something more modern.
Practical Features for Accessibility and Security
Extra large sheds offer practical benefits that enhance accessibility and security. Many models come with wide double doors, making it easy to move bulky items and equipment in and out, while some include lockable doors to secure valuable equipment. Metal and composite options add convenience – ideal if you prefer a low-maintenance solution.

Can an extra large shed be used as a workshop or garden office?

Do extra large sheds require planning permission in the UK?
Many sheds do not usually require planning permission, but larger buildings need careful checking. Waltons advises that customers are responsible for checking local authority guidance before building, as permission cannot be guaranteed. Height, boundary position, floor area, property type and intended use can all matter. Read our guide here.
What base is needed for an extra large shed?
An extra large shed needs a strong, accurately measured and completely level base. Concrete is often the most reliable option, especially if the shed will hold heavy equipment. Paving slabs may also work if properly laid. The base should support the full footprint of the building.
Are extra large sheds secure enough for valuable equipment?
Extra large sheds can be made secure with the right specification and accessories. Look for robust cladding, lockable doors and a sensible layout. For valuable equipment, use quality locks, internal anchors, security lighting and careful positioning.
Are extra large sheds weatherproof and suitable for year-round use?
Yes, Waltons extra large sheds are designed for outdoor use all year round and to stand up to weather conditions. Many models are made with strong, weather-resistant materials and construction to help protect the contents inside. Good cladding, appropriate roof coverings, proper treatments and an even base will help in this regard.
