About Our Wooden Sheds 🌲
Wooden sheds are the traditional choice for UK gardens, offering natural style, customisation options, and reliable weather protection. Our collection includes everything from compact overlap sheds for budget-conscious buyers to premium tongue and groove sheds with 10 year warranties. Each shed features modular panel construction for straightforward assembly, toughened glass windows for natural light, and secure locking doors for peace of mind.
You'll find pressure treated sheds that need zero maintenance for 15+ years, alongside shiplap sheds offering excellent water resistance. Free UK delivery comes as standard, and most models arrive within 5 days of ordering. Browse our full sheds range to compare wooden, metal, and plastic options.
Choosing Your Wooden Shed
Finding the right shed comes down to three main factors: cladding style, wood treatment, and size requirements.
🪵 Cladding Types
Overlap cladding is the most affordable option, with boards overlapping like roof tiles. Shiplap boards interlock horizontally for superior weather resistance and a premium finish. Tongue and groove offers the strongest construction with interlocking panels on all sides.
🛡️ Treatment & Longevity
Pressure treated timber forces preservative deep into the wood, protecting for 15+ years. Dip treated sheds cost less but require annual re-coating. Compare with plastic sheds for zero maintenance or metal sheds for security.
📏 Size & Purpose
A 6x4 shed stores tools and a mower. An 8x6 model fits bikes and garden storage essentials. A 10x8 or bigger functions as a garden workshop. Prices range from £387 to £1,165 for premium models.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wooden Sheds
-
What's the best cladding for a wooden shed?
Shiplap or tongue and groove cladding delivers the best weather protection and durability. These interlocking designs prevent water ingress and create stronger panel structures. Overlap cladding works fine for dry storage on a tight budget, but it won't last as long in exposed locations.
-
What's the difference between pressure treated and dip treated sheds?
Pressure treated timber lasts 15+ years without maintenance because preservative is forced deep into the wood fibres. Dip treated sheds receive a surface coating that needs annual re-treatment to prevent rot. The upfront cost difference is typically 20-30%, but pressure treatment saves money long-term.
-
What size wooden shed do I need?
A 6x4 shed handles basic garden tools and a push mower. An 8x6 model accommodates bike storage, larger equipment, and shelving. Choose a 10x8 or bigger if you're creating a workshop space. Measure your intended location and add 30cm clearance on all sides.
-
How much do wooden sheds cost?
Quality wooden sheds range from £387 for small overlap models to £1,165 for premium 10x8 tongue and groove buildings with apex roofs and toughened glass. Pressure treated versions cost 20-30% more than dip treated equivalents. Free UK delivery is included.
-
Do I need a base for my wooden shed?
Yes, a solid, level base is required for your warranty and prevents structural damage. Concrete or paving slabs work best, raised 5-10cm above ground level for drainage. Your base should be 5-8cm larger than the shed footprint on all sides. Check our shed base guide for complete instructions.
-
Can I use a wooden shed as a workshop?
Absolutely, and garden workshops are increasingly popular. Choose models 10x8 or larger with tongue and groove construction for stability. Add proper ventilation, insulation if needed, and ensure your electrical work meets building regulations. Apex roofs provide more headroom than pent designs for standing workspace.
