Best Workshop
If you want somewhere to use as a base for all of your crafts and hobbies, a workshop is ideal; it allows you the area you need to work on various projects such as restoring cars, or crafting things.
Out of all the wooden workshops that we stock, our best pick would be the largest you have room for - this will give you plenty of space to work on whatever project takes your fancy!
Top Bike Storage

Luckily, we're here to help! Our top pick would be the 7ft x 3ft tongue and groove apex wooden bike shed - this marvellous structure will give you plenty of space to store bikes of various sizes, as well as look great in your garden to boot!
Weather Resistant
If you want something that will not only do a fantastic job of keeping your garden equipment safe from the elements, then you need to take a look at this 6ft x 8ft skylight plastic shed.
This particular garden building comes with high strength cladding, as it is specifically designed to withstand adverse weather conditions - just the thing you need for the next time a big old storm whips up in your back garden! It couldn't be easier to install in your outdoor area, and even easier to maintain! All of our plastic sheds are simple to construct, and require the minimum care once they've been put up.
Extra Long Lasting
To ensure that your shed is going to truly stand the test of time, and that you're really going to get your money's worth, take a look at the 12ft x 8ft pressure treated tongue and groove pent shed.

Base
The right base is an essential part of your shed - and of the selection process. Read our guide, and decide which is the best base for the shed you want.
What are you using your shed for?
Whether you're looking for a simple 8x6 foot overlap or a top-of-the-range insulated garden room, we've got everything you need to make the perfect choice.
What will go in your shed?
For a few tools and bits of gardening gear, a simple shed will suffice. But for heavier machinery, large furniture, pool tables and motorbikes, you'll need something a bit more solid. Our guide sets out your options.

Materials
Wood, metal or plastic? We lay out the pros and cons of each so you can make the right choice for your needs.
Cladding and roof type
Make sure you know the difference between overlap and shiplap - and the benefits of a pent roof or an apex roof for your shed.
