The most important thing to consider when looking for a shed is quality. Nobody wants to spend a lot of money on a new garden shed only to find that it’s destroyed during the first storm that rolls along. You want something sturdy, attractive, and, most importantly, designed to fit your needs perfectly. In short, you want a bespoke shed.
Design Your Own Shed
One of the most important reasons to get a bespoke shed is that you can design it yourself. Garden sheds are incredibly versatile structures, and people use them for all kinds of things.
While the most common use for a shed is to store tools and other items, it can also be used as a workshop, a potting shed, an art studio, or even an office.
When you look into custom-made sheds, you can explore different design ideas that might suit your needs. Sometimes, you need a custom option for something incredibly specific.
For example, if you have a small garden or an odd shape, it might be hard to find a traditional garden shed that will fit nicely. You want the shed to be convenient but not exactly the centre of your garden.
With from 1st Choice and made to measure, you can design a shed that fits into a particular spot, even if it has some slightly odd measurements. You can also create a large garden shed or even a shed with other features.
Whether you want a bespoke storage shed or something designed for a different purpose, you can meet your needs perfectly.
How to Design a Shed
The first thing you need to do is think about where you want to put the shed. Measure the area. Then, consider what you need the shed for. This will help you decide what features you need and if you need any additional storage or other options.
You can also explore our showroom twixt Woking, Ripley and Guildford in Surrey for viewing. While bespoke sheds are designed for you specifically, it can be helpful to look at examples of sheds so you can pick up some ideas.
Finally, speak to our team about your needs, and they will help you create a functional design that will work well in your garden. From there, you only need to sit back and relax while the shed is built and even installed for you.
Materials and Other Features
A shed is only as good as its materials. Even the most skilled workers can’t turn scraps into a sturdy and functional shed. This is why our sheds are made with real redwood deal timber, NOT OSB artificial boards.
This timber looks great, it feels great, and it’ll last. You can keep the timber as is, or you can get an optional colour finish. Our stain or paint will protect the timber from the elements, ensuring it lasts even longer.
It’s also attractive; some people like to ensure their shed matches their home or the rest of their garden.
If you opt for windows, you can also be assured that we use toughened glass. This means you don’t need to worry about debris or strong winds potentially breaking your windows, causing a safety hazard in your garden.
Toughened glass windows will last, just like the rest of your shed. On a similar note, if you work in your shed or otherwise spend a lot of time in there, you might appreciate optional insulation.
This keeps your shed more comfortable even during winter, so you can still work on your projects.

Are Made To Measure Sheds Cheaper?
Made-to-measure sheds in the UK can vary in cost compared to standard, pre-fabricated options. While custom sheds typically allow for specific dimensions and features tailored to individual needs, this customisation often comes with a higher price tag. However, in some cases, the precise fit and quality of materials can lead to long-term savings, as these structures require less maintenance and offer better durability. It's essential to weigh the upfront costs against potential long-term benefits and consider the value of having a shed that perfectly fits your space and storage requirements.

How Much Would A Handyman Charge To Build A Bespoke Shed?
In the UK, a handyman's charge for supplying a bespoke shed direct to you typically ranges from £500 to £2,000, depending on various factors. The shed's size, design complexity, materials used, and location can significantly influence the final cost. Basic models with standard features tend to be on the lower end, while custom designs with high-quality materials can increase the price. Hourly rates for handypersons generally fall between £20 and £40, so projects requiring more time will naturally increase the overall expense. It's advisable to obtain multiple quotes to ensure competitive pricing and clarify what's included in the service.

Is It Cheaper To Build A Bespoke Shed Rather Than Buy A Shed Direct?
Building a bespoke shed can be cheaper than buying a pre-made one, but it depends on several factors. Costs for materials can vary widely, and if you have the skills and tools to construct the shed yourself, the savings increase. Customisation options in a bespoke shed might allow you to use materials that fit your budget better than standard models. However, if you factor in the time and effort required for planning and construction, buying a ready-made shed is more cost-effective, especially considering warranty and durability. Ultimately, the decision relies on personal preference, budget constraints, and desired features.
