Hi Karen
Just to say the shed arrived this morning, early which was great, your guys were cheerful (despite being up at
the crack of dawn) easy to talk to, very professional and did a super job.
Very impressed with the product and will no doubt recommend you to all who will listen!
Thank you for great service
Kind regards

High Quality Apex Sheds
This excellent quality shed is made with 15mm finished pressure treated tongue & groove shiplap. Finished with corner trims and barge boards, along with a small overhang to the eaves. The polyester based roofing felt, and the tanalised floor battens further increase the already impressive lifespan, and the fully box framed door offer and keyed lock provides excellent security. Joinery made fixed windows allow ample light, and an opening sash can be added if required. The building can also be supplied with a translucent wood treatment to ensure your money is well spent on a building that will stand the test of time. This product is hand built to order by people that care, and included in the price, is assembled at your location by professionals.
​
Delivery times fluctuate from 2 weeks in the Winter and Spring up to 8 weeks in the Summer and Autumn, so order now to be one step ahead.
High Quality Pent Sheds
Built using the same materials as the Apex sheds, the Pent Roof shed is also a quality product but features a roof that slopes from front to back. This design is popular in the smaller sizes as it's well suited to being tucked in the corner of the garden.
The box framed, ledged and braced door features a keyed lock with D handle for security, and the joinery made windows add ample light into the building. An opening sash can be added to allow extra ventilation should it be required.
As per the Apex roof equivalent, the pent roof sheds are finished with corner trims and the timber is tanalised to prevent rot and decay. Once manufactured by craftsmen, your building will be delivered and assembled for you by the experienced build team all within the complete price.
​
Potting Sheds
When you need a Potting Shed that is built to last then this is the one for you. The bonus of having a potting shed built with the superior shed materials ensures your plants and vegetables can remain in situ for much longer.
The inclusive opening windows allow your plants to breathe, and the stable style door on the side can add extra ventilation if required.
Also included with your order is a bench at window height for your produce to sit on.
Corner Sheds
If you want to make the most of your garden by squeezing the shed into a corner, then this is the building for you.
The door is cleverly fitted across the front aspect, and can be upgraded to double doors if required. Also available as a summerhouse, which can be a great way to view your garden from the opposite end to the patio
What do I need to do?
Buying a garden shed is straight forward, especially if you have a blank canvas to work from. If you currently have a garden shed that needs replacing, this would need to be emptied and removed prior to delivery.
The 7 steps to your new garden shed
Step 1
Location
Decide on the area in the garden where you wish to have the garden shed, and peg out the area with a few bamboo canes and a ball of string. Alternatively you can use slabs, bricks or anything to create the points that denote the area.
Step 2
Size of Building
Measure the width and the depth of the pegged area to determine the size of the garden shed you require. Write this down, so you can refer to it when getting a price online.
Step 3
The Design
Choose the style of building that prefer to have. If you have a traditional garden, then an Apex roof may be more suited. Those with a modern garden tend to choose the pent roof style. You will also need to decide on the position of the door and the style of the windows.
Step 4
Choose Options
Upgrading to double doors is a great option if you need to store a mower or a bike. You could also add more windows if needed. It could also be that you remove the windows altogether.
A painted finish is also an option worth thinking about, especially if you are landscaping the garden.
Step 5
Order your new shed
The online price will give you a good idea of the price, however most people order over the phone or by email. Once you have decided on the design please contact us so we can confirm the details with you and book the order into the delivery schedule.
Step 6
Prepare the Site
Once the order is placed, you will have a period of time to prepare the site. It may be that you have done this earlier in the process, especially if the ground needs clearing before measurements can be taken. Please ensure the location of the shed has a flat and level base - either paving slabs, concrete or wooden bearers.
Step 7
Delivery & Assembly
When the day comes for delivery & assembly, please ensure access is unrestricted to the site. Assembly will be completed within a day, providing the team have suitable parking and a clear run from the vehicle to the base.

Why do shed prices vary so much?
​Something that many people find surprising when they begin to look into purchasing a wooden shed is that seemingly identical models come at different price points. This is because there is a difference in the thickness of the timber, plus the there are different types of cladding that vary in strength and weather resistance.
Quality of Materials
Two wooden sheds of the same size, and similar appearance, but at different price points. The wood in both sheds is treated, they both have a door and also feature a window.
So what’s the difference between these two sheds, and why is one more expensive than the other?
Cost of Manufacture
The more expensive model has shiplap tongue and groove clad walls which are 12mm thick and a floor that is also 12mm thick, plus a heavy duty polyester felt roof covering. The cheaper model has overlap clad walls that are 8mm thick, the floor is 10mm thick and the roof covering is sand felt.
Cost of Assembly
The door is fully framed with a mortice lock on the expensive model. This cheaper model door uses the cladding, with a cheap lock, and no diagonal bracing or framework. Assembly is also included in the expensive model, which will have factored in labour costs, along with a cost for delivery.

1
CONSTRUCTION
The most important thing to you is how good are the materials to make your shed. the cheaper sheds use 28mm framing, whilst the next level use 34mm deep framing. If you compare that to the 44mm deep framing - that's nearly double the amount of timber to start with.
2
QUALITY
Not only does the framing vary considerably, but so does the grade of the timber. The lower grades are faster grown and feature more knots and blemishes. This increases the chance of warping, twisting and breaking, whilst also being thinner and less resistant to what nature has to throw at it.
3
SUSTAINABILITY
Using better materials, that are sustainably grown will also reduce your carbon footprint. FSC managed forests produce ethically minded materials that are greener for the planet in the long term. Therefore, if you are looking to keep your shed for at least 10 years, then look for a quality product that is built to last
Remember
Assembly is included in the price (there is no self assembly price available for our buildings). If you wish to assemble yourself then it is important to understand that this could result in your guarantee be invalidated as clearly we can only guarantee our own work, and materials which are fitted to our own high standard specification This is why we believe that it pays to let the experts build it for you.
Delivery and assembly is INCLUDED IN THE PRICE
