The 8×4 pent metal shed in Heritage Green by Globel is a top-quality storage unit built to stand the test of time. This range of Globel sheds sets the standard for lightweight metal storage solutions, providing exceptional value for money. Through a new design approach, a sturdier, easier to assemble shed has been created, marking a groundbreaking advancement in light-gauge metal sheds.

Crafted from robust hot-dipped galvanized steel with a heavy gauge, this metal garden shed outperforms wooden alternatives that require costly upkeep and are susceptible to rot. With minimal maintenance needed, it is resistant to rust, rot, and pests. Backed by a 15-year anti-corrosion guarantee (plus an additional 1-year structural warranty), this shed is ideal for caravan parks where fire-safe storage sheds are mandatory.

Featuring taller walls for enhanced internal access and increased storage capacity, this pent shed includes ventilated gables for improved air circulation and condensation control. The door and track system are engineered for durability and ease of use. The classic heritage green finish blends seamlessly into any garden setting, while a contemporary slate grey option is also on offer.

The innovative design of Globel Sheds simplifies assembly with fewer components, making the process quicker and more straightforward. Comprehensive instructions and online videos support assembly to ensure a hassle-free experience.

Optional extras include a galvanized steel foundation kit and Hilti screws. We highly recommend purchasing the Galvanized Steel Foundation Kit to establish a stable base for the shed. This kit comprises metal battens that the customer must assemble. By placing a moisture-resistant plastic sheet beneath the kit, it can be filled with concrete or used to lay timber boards, both effective choices for shed flooring. Securing the shed in place using Hilti screws is recommended.

– 15-year anti-corrosion guarantee (plus 1-year structural warranty)
– Highest gauge hot-dipped galvanized steel in its class
– Low maintenance
– Increased wall and eaves height

– Various sizes from 5×3 to 8×4 are offered

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.
