You may find that some potting sheds are cheaper than others and there is a reason for this – and this comes down to the quality of materials used. These Diamond buildings are made from the slow-growing redwood deal rather than the cheap fast growing and less resilient white wood used on most ‘cheap’ sheds. This costs a little more but is worth every penny.

Always insist on proper T&G timber as this will ensure the best resistance to our British weather and protecting your valuable. The thickness of the framing is also important as some cheap garden sheds will have a framework not much larger than 1in x 1in (25mm x 25mm) -crazy!! Ideally, look for 2in x 2in (nominal size) vertical framing for the strongest shed.
