When deciding what kind of base to use.
There are several options available when considering which base to use for your shed including, concrete, slabs, timber, and plastic grids.
You may choose to install your shed on several different types of base, however when deciding this please bear in mind that the most important thing of all is that the base be perfectly level and adequately sited leaving enough room around it to enable the shed to be placed on top .
If you need any information or help when considering this please get in touch and we will do our best to help you.
We do offer a service for shed bases (in certain areas) which may not include all options as above, (please ask for more info)
We also offer a free local survey so if you are In any doubt we can talk you through what base you will need, if any.
Contact USHere at The Shed Brothers we are always being asked what the difference is between an Apex and a Pent shed. it is important that you know the difference when ordering to avoid any confusion or upset at a later date in the process. The main difference is the style of roof.
There is no one design which is better than the other and therefore the main reason for choosing a particular style of shed will most likely come down to personal preference on style or practicality due to headroom etc .
This is a kind of hip-style roof where there is only one surface to it which is usually higher at the front of the building and slopes towards the back of the shed, this gives the shed quite a modern look and feel.
This is a more traditional style of roof with 2 surfaces meeting at the top to form a point and look like a traditional gable from the end. these are often favorable when needing a little extra headroom due to the internal peak.
All framework is built from a heavier-duty wood with 600mm centers creating a robust frame before being clad using a choice of either of our shiplap or Loglap cladding options, floors are built using 400mm centres and 18mm matchboard.
It is essential that all windows are sealed inside and out as soon as is possible after assembly.
Although it may come with a factory basecoat you should treat your new garden building shortly after installation with a good quality water resistant treatment. This process should then be repeated annually with care taken to brush the treatment into all wooden components involved within the construction of the building, inside and out
No, we ask for a 50% deposit of the quote at the initial order then final payment as your shed goes into the workshop to be built, we will contact you to request this.
This depends on the time of year, typically between October and March the time scale is around 6 weeks, from March to September this would possibly increase to 10-12 weeks.
Yes, we offer a free local survey where we will discuss your requirements, and take photos and measurements, the main office will then email your quote to you.
SIPS which stands for (Structurally Insulated Panels) is a system where foam insulation is sandwiched in between sheets of OSB creating a completely insulated box where you can enjoy the warmth year round. the walls, floor and roof are all fully insulated with 100mm of foam . The main structure of the building can usually be erected within one day and they can be fully bespoke in every other way.

I ordered a 13 x 10 shed from this company and they were faultless from start to finish the quality was far better than anyone else was offering me. The fitters were also very good, and nothing was too much trouble. Very happy customer

We wanted a nice summer-house for the bottom corner of our garden and visited the premises to discuss our needs. A design was agreed between us and a few weeks later the summer-house was delivered and installed. We are absolutely delighted with the design, quality and installation. Our needs were met fully. Phil, Neil and team are a pleasure to work with, nothing was too much trouble for them and the installation went very smoothly. I highly recommend The Shed Brothers company. Thank you very much for a great job well done at a very competitive price

I chose this company as the quality of the materials were better than other company's I had been to see. I was not disappointed the shed was superb and from ordering to being fitted was absolutely hassle free I am very pleased with the job done

Contacted Shed Brothers after a post snapped on a part of our fence next to where we park the car. They fitted us in at a convenient time and replaced the fence with concrete plinth and posts looks so much better. Would recommend to anyone.
