Why buy a windowless shed?

Apart from the obvious benefit of keeping your possessions hidden from view, a windowless shed has fewer components, so there's less maintenance – no painting round window frames and no risk of broken window latches. You also don't have to worry about shelving or piles of boxes blocking out the light!

How do I light a windowless shed?

There are many solutions. Electric lights, run on solar charged batteries or mains power are the most common methods. Gas or oil lamps and candles are not recommended due to the fire risk created by naked flames in a wooden building.

How can I secure a windowless shed?

The best ways to secure a windowless shed are to fit locks to the door, and to make sure it's properly weatherproofed so that there are no rotting corners that can be picked away at to gain entry.

Windowless sheds are the ideal solution for anyone looking for secure storage at an affordable price point. Windowless garden sheds offer a cheaper way to house your tools and equipment while also deterring opportunist thieves who won’t be able to see what you’re storing. Not sure a windowless shed is right for you? Take a look at our shed buying guide, which provides information on all our shed collections, helping to ensure you choose the one which best suits your needs.

Choosing a windowless shed

A shed without windows is a simpler build for us, and because we pass on the cost saving to you, the customer, it means you get more storage for less money than if you were to opt for a standard, windowed garden shed. If all you need to do is store your tools, bicycles, and garden equipment, and you don't intend to spend time working or relaxing in your shed, there’s no particular need for windows. That said, if simply opening the door doesn’t give you sufficient light to see what you’re doing, you may need to consider siting your shed somewhere close to the electric supply or using battery or solar lighting systems – for more information, take a look at our guide to how to light your shed.

Shed security

One of the main reasons our customers opt for a windowless shed is for the extra security it offers. When thieves can’t see inside, they’re much less likely to take the risk of breaking in. Going windowless is just one of the measures you can take to keep your possessions safe. You might also consider beefing up your shed security with floor anchoring points, reinforced doors, high-quality locks and security lights. For more tips to help keep your valuables safe, our guide on how to secure your shed provides excellent information and advice.

Windowless shed sizes and styles

Windowless sheds begin with a 3x6 ft apex shed or a 6x4 ft reverse apex offering, both of which offer excellent tool storage capacity that’s easy to access. For more comprehensive garden storage, we offer bigger sheds, increasing in size from 7x5 ft all the way up to a very roomy 12x8 ft apex double-door shed big enough to house a sit-on mower, bikes, tools and equipment, and more.
