These small sheds are available with either shiplap or overlap cladding. Shiplap cladding offers a tighter, interlocking design for superior weather resistance and a more polished finish. Overlap cladding, with its rustic, layered boards, promotes natural water runoff and provides an affordable option for secure storage.
Choose between an apex or pent roof—apex roofs provide additional headroom in the centre, while pent roofs offer a modern look and are great for positioning against walls.
For secure and flexible access, many of our sheds come with double doors or windowless options, and metal or plastic models are also available. To find even more solutions, explore the full garden sheds collection. For more help on choosing the best shed for you, check out our shed buying guide.
Small Shed FAQs
What can I store in a small garden shed?
A small shed works well for everyday outdoor essentials like hand and watering tools, pots, chemicals, cushions, and kids’ outdoor toys. It is the perfect solution for small spaces where storage matters.
Should I choose a wooden, metal or plastic small shed?
A wooden shed is perfect for a traditional style, but it does come with some upkeep. Metal sheds offer secure, low-maintenance storage, and a plastic shed is perfect for lightweight practicality. Consider your storage needs and how much maintenance you are willing to do before deciding on a product.
Do small sheds require a base or foundation?
Yes, even small sheds perform best on a level base.
Are small sheds weatherproof and waterproof?
Small sheds are designed to protect garden items from everyday weather, but the level of protection depends on the material and construction. Shiplap timber offers a tighter wall profile, metal sheds are rot-resistant and plastic sheds are low maintenance. Correct assembly and treatment are just as important.
How secure are small garden sheds?
They can be secure depending on your choice of shed. Keep contents hidden with a windowless design. Padlocks deter opportunistic thefts. Internal hooks, ground anchors and lockable storage inside can add another layer of security.
Are small sheds easy to assemble?
Two people with basic DIY knowledge can comfortably assemble a small shed. Remember, a flat and level base will set you up for success from the start. Waltons offers professional assembly on selected garden products as well.
