Comprehensive Surrey Display Sites For Viewing
We believe that it is vital that you are given the opportunity to inspect a timber building before parting with your so we have established an easily-accessible display site near Guildford and Woking in Surrey which, hopefully, is not too far away from where you live and you can come and over 100 buildings from all of our main ranges of buildings. You can browse our wooden buildings at your leisure without worrying about any high pressure salesmen pouncing on you (not that we would employ that type in any case!). If you need any help then we are there to advise.

More than 60 buildings on show seven days a week including timber, steel and concrete!
We positively encourage you to come and inspect the quality of our buildings for yourself by visiting our extensive display centre. Located between Woking and Guildford, in Surrey, we display a selection of products from all of our main ranges of buildings in timber, steel and concrete.
Take a walk around our display site showing many buildings.
Check out the quality timber and the thickness of the framework. Examine the quality of construction and attention to detail and you will have to agree: there really is only one choice for your new shed, summer building or workshop and that is ‘1st Choice Leisure Buildings’ Please note that our display is usually manned seven days a week but there will be occasions when we are closed as we may be out working on customer’s sites (yes, we do this ourself, we are not completely office-bound!). If you would like to speak to us personally please give us a call before travelling to check our availability or like our Facebook page which we will try to keep updated when we will not be in attendance. a>
Debunking the Misleading Myth that Internet Only Sites are Better
Amazingly there are companies out there who claim it is best not to have show buildings as they are not needed as you can look at their photographs! They claim that we – because we positively encourage you to view – are outdated and that you shouldn’t have to waste your valuable time travelling. This is, of course, Utter rubbish: no photo in the world can demonstrate how strong a door is, how thick a piece of cladding is or how well a door opens. Could it be that they have something to hide and they don’t want you to see what you are buying until it is too late? They imply that, if you do like the quality of their building, then you can reject it even after they have delivered and assembled it. Right!! Would you feel comfortable telling two burly guys that don’t want their building? I don’t think so! Take the risk out of buying on the web and view BEFORE committing yourself. Only then will you know that you’re getting what you paid for which is a quality, well-made, garden building. We have been manufacturing garden buildings since 1979 and we had the foresight to be the first company in the UK to sell sheds on the web; hardly outdated. The fact is that forward looking companies recognise that the customer is king and will provide display sites so their products can be viewed.
Always ask yourself the question what have the ‘internet only’ companies got to hide.
Take a look at the totally independent views from our previous customers and, if you are one of the few that do believe it is best to buy based on a photograph, our photo gallery showing thousands of quality garden buildings supplied to our customers. We take pride in our reputation which has been earned over almost 42 years unlike other companies who have been in business for a far shorter time but who like to shout the loudest.
If you are travelling a long way to see us – as many people do – it is nice to know that you can make a day out of it by combining your visit with one to one of the many local attractions. Whatever your interest you are sure to find something of interest from the list below: Aldershot Military Museum – museum based in the town known as the ‘home of the British Army’ (10 miles) Bocketts Farm Park – Fantastic working farm which is a great day out for kids of all ages (13 miles) Brooklands Museum – the birthplace of British motor racing also boasts an important aviation heritage (9 miles) Chessington World Of Adventures – a popular theme park and zoo (16 miles) Hampton Court Palace – historic castle with breathtaking gardens and walks along the Thames (18 miles) Mercedes-Benz World – fantastic collection of historic cars with free entry (9 miles) Legoland – a real favourite with kids of all ages (18 miles) Runnymede – historic site where the Magna Carta was signed (15 miles) Thorpe Park – thrill-riders nirvana (10 miles) Wisley Gardens – renowned as the best garden in the UK; well worth a visit (8 miles) Windsor Castle – the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world (19 miles) These suggestions have been brought to you in association with TripAdvisor which offers impartial reviews and ideas relating to these suggestions and thousands of others.
