Containing dimensions of 8′ x 4′ (2.44 x 1.22m), the Conventional Pent Wooden Garden Tool Storage Shed offers a practical and elegant solution for securely storing garden equipment within easy reach. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for almost any garden space. Crafted from 12mm tongue and groove cladding supported by a sturdy 38mm x 50mm frame, this high-quality tool storage unit is designed for durability. Both the floor and roof feature superior 12mm tongue and groove construction, with the roof additionally protected by a felt layer to repel rainwater. The shed is completed with a sleek smooth-planed finish, ensuring not only robustness and weather resistance but also an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Accessing the shed is effortless through a single door equipped with zinc hardware and a key-operated lock for securing valuable tools against unauthorized access. The door can be conveniently positioned on any side of the structure. Measuring 1710mm x 2440mm x 1220mm and backed by a 1-year parts warranty, this compact garden storage solution has been dip-treated and requires re-treatment after 6 weeks of assembly and annually thereafter to preserve its attractive finish.

For an enhanced level of protection, consider upgrading to pressure-treated timber, which extends the anti-rot guarantee to an impressive 15 years. Additionally, this upgrade includes a complimentary increase in cladding thickness to extra-thick 15mm. Note that while pressure-treated timber offers longevity, the wood will still need waterproofing during assembly and annually thereafter.

This wooden storage shed is available in various sizes, ranging from 5’x3′ to 10’x4′. An optional Pro Shed Base Kit is available for purchase, and delivery is free for most UK destinations. Please note that the specified dimensions for cladding, floorboards, and framing are approximate prior to machining, resulting in a potential variance of plus or minus 1mm for cladding and floorboards, and plus or minus 5mm for framing.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
