The 5×8 Globel Lean-to is a superior garden storage unit ideal for positioning against a wall or fence. Crafted for enduring excellence, the complete Globel shed collection showcases the top specifications for lightweight metal sheds on the market, all while offering unparalleled value. An advanced design approach has yielded a sturdier, more resilient, and simpler-to-construct shed, marking a groundbreaking advancement in the realm of lightly-clad metal storage units.

This premium shed is crafted from robust gauge, hot-dipped galvanized steel. Unlike traditional wooden garden sheds that necessitate time-consuming and expensive treatments and are susceptible to decay, this metal garden shed demands minimal upkeep and is impervious to rust, decay, and pests. This exceptional durability is underpinned by a 15-year anti-corrosion guarantee (+ 1-year structural warranty from the manufacturer).

Designed as a space-efficient storage solution, this lean-to shed is ideal for locations where space is limited. (Also available in 4×6 and 4×8 variants). Ventilated gables promote airflow and combat moisture build-up. The door and its track are engineered for durability and ease of use. The door can be installed on either end of the shed to suit the garden layout. The classic heritage green hue harmonizes with any garden setting.

The innovative construction of Globel Sheds has resulted in significantly reduced parts for a notably simpler and swifter assembly process. The assembly is complemented by detailed assembly instructions and a helpful online instructional video.

Both a galvanized steel foundation kit and Hilti screws are available as optional additions for purchase. We recommend acquiring the Galvanized Steel Foundation Kit to establish a suitable base for the shed. This kit comprises a framework of metal battens that must be assembled by the customer. After placing a moisture-resistant plastic sheet/membrane beneath the kit, it should be filled with concrete or utilized to support timber boards, both of which serve as effective shed flooring. Hilti screws are then utilized to secure the shed in place.

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.
