Sheds in Saffron Walden

Garden sheds are a vital aspect of any practical garden space. They provide storage for heavy garden tools, as well as for other equipment. A sizeable shed might even provide enough room for plant potting or a general workshop. Additionally, a big shed could be utilised as an inside sitting area. Garden sheds come in a large variety of sizes and can be specified to your particular requirements, giving you total control over the amount and position of windows, type, size and location of door, and design of roof. Garden sheds generally are available in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the traditional style and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, particularly if the wood used for the shed is matched to bordering fences. Wooden sheds are still extremely popular, although they will require maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to protect the life of the shed. Garden sheds are also manufactured from metal, which is very tough and therefore great for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds also require very little maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is much more resilient than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it’s vital to ensure that you select one that will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds should be located on a level area, and will require a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be made from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating timber base, but will have to be the right size for your shed and able to support the weight of your shed when loaded.
