Corner Sheds That Make Better Use of Garden Space
A corner shed is designed to make practical use of a part of the garden which can otherwise be difficult to utilise. Instead of placing a conventional rectangular building across valuable lawn or patio space, a purpose-designed corner building can sit more naturally into the available area while still providing useful storage, hobby or leisure space.
This page is part of our wider garden sheds range but concentrates specifically on corner sheds for sale. The products currently displayed are the Eversley Corner Shed, Platinum Bursledon Corner and Platinum Hamble Corner.
Which Corner Shed Should I Choose?
The Eversley Corner Shed runs from 6×6 to 10×10. It uses pressure-treated Scandinavian Redwood, toughened glass and offers colour and full-insulation options, making it particularly relevant if you expect to spend more time inside rather than using the building purely for storage.
The Platinum Bursledon Corner and Platinum Hamble Corner are the more leisure-orientated corner buildings currently shown here. Both are available from 6×6 to 10×10 with professional assembly, colour-finish and full-insulation options.
Eversley, Bursledon or Hamble?
I see the choice quite simply. Eversley suits customers who want a substantial pressure-treated corner shed with insulation available. At the same time, Bursledon and Hamble move further towards hobby, relaxation and more regular leisure use.
There is no point paying for insulation and a higher specification if all you need is somewhere for tools and garden equipment. Equally, if you expect to sit or work inside for several hours at a time, the extra specification may be worthwhile.
Why Choose a Corner Shed Instead of a Rectangular Shed?
The main advantage is the way a corner building uses the available footprint. Its angled frontage can face naturally into the garden. At the same time, the rear sections sit into the corner, which may preserve more open lawn or patio space than a conventional rectangular shed.
A rectangular shed can still be the better choice if you need long uninterrupted walls for shelving or a very large storage area. I would choose a corner shed because its shape solves a particular garden-space problem, not simply because it looks different. If you are still comparing different types of building, our garden shed buying guide explains the main points to consider when choosing a shed.
What Can a Corner Shed Be Used For?
The Eversley can provide useful space for tools, garden furniture and general storage. At the same time, the Bursledon and Hamble are particularly well suited to hobbies, crafts, reading or occasional relaxation, where their glazing and insulation options become more useful.
Before choosing, make a simple plan of what needs to go inside. Door width, shelving, furniture and usable floor area matter more than the nominal external dimensions alone.
Can Corner Sheds Be Insulated?
Yes. Full-insulation options are available on the Eversley, Bursledon and Hamble buildings currently displayed on this page. This may be worthwhile if you expect to spend regular periods inside for hobbies or leisure use.
I would not automatically insulate a storage-focused building. If the shed will mainly hold garden equipment, spending the budget on the right size, access, and construction may provide better value. If you are looking for a corner building primarily as a more regularly used room rather than storage, you may also want to compare our corner garden rooms.
Are Corner Sheds Professionally Fitted?
Professional fitting or assembly is included with the wooden corner buildings currently shown here, subject to the relevant delivery area, suitable access and having a correctly prepared level base ready before installation.
The base is especially important with a corner design because an uneven foundation can affect several wall sections, door alignment and the roof. Always prepare it from the exact dimensions supplied for your chosen model. Our garden building base guide explains the main foundation options and why a firm, flat and level base matters.
What Should I Measure Before Ordering a Corner Shed?
Measure both sides of the available corner and do not assume fences or walls meet at a perfect 90-degree angle. Allow space for roof overhangs, door opening, installation and future maintenance, and check that rainwater has somewhere sensible to drain.
I would also measure the largest equipment which needs to pass through the doors. A shed can fit the garden perfectly but still be impractical if the lawnmower or furniture cannot get through the entrance comfortably.
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Corner Shed?
Many domestic garden sheds can be installed without making a planning application. Still, you should not assume this applies in every situation. The building’s height, position in the garden, proximity to boundaries and the property itself can all be relevant. Our garden shed planning permission guide explains the main points to check before deciding where your corner shed will go.
My Experience With Sheds Goes Back to 1979
I’m Robin Antill, founder of 1st Choice Leisure Buildings. I left school at 15 and started my own business in 1979 trading as Marina Sheds. I learnt the business hands-on by making, selling and delivering timber sheds and dealing directly with customers. Hence, my understanding of what makes a practical garden building comes from manufacturing experience rather than simply selling products online.
I sold Marina Sheds in 1990. However, unfortunately, I did not receive all the money which was due from the sale. It was a difficult business lesson, but I remained in the garden-building industry and carried on.
In 1992 we expanded beyond sheds and added summerhouses, garages, garden rooms and log cabins. That broader direction led to the name Titan Garden Buildings. My son Craig joined me in 1992 after studying carpentry at Guildford College from 1990, bringing his own practical carpentry and timber-construction knowledge into the business.
We sold Titan Garden Buildings in 1998 and in 2000 formed 1st Choice Leisure Buildings. Rather than being tied to one manufacturer’s products, Craig and I wanted to use our experience to compare quality buildings from different manufacturers and give customers a genuine choice.
Craig now runs the day-to-day business, and I remain involved to support him and the team whenever required. You can read more about our history on the About 1st Choice Leisure Buildings page.
Why Does My Experience Matter When Choosing a Corner Shed?
Having manufactured timber sheds myself, I know that choosing a corner building is about more than finding something that fits the measurements. I look at framing, floor construction, doors, glazing, roof design, installation access and how the finished building will actually be used.
If pressure treatment, insulation and practical storage are important, compare the Eversley. If you are looking for a more leisure-orientated corner building with insulation and a higher specification, compare the Bursledon and Hamble. I aim to help you choose the specification that fits the job, rather than automatically pushing you toward the most expensive option.
How Do I Choose the Best Corner Shed?
Start by measuring the available corner accurately, then decide what needs to go inside and how you want to approach the entrance. Compare the actual dimensions, doors, windows, construction and insulation options of the three buildings shown on this page.
If you are comparing corner sheds for sale and are unsure which model suits your garden, please ask us. Between Craig, myself and the team, there is a great deal of practical garden-building experience here, and I would rather help you choose correctly before ordering than see you discover afterwards that another layout would have worked better.
Can I See Corner Sheds Before Buying?
Whenever practical, I recommend seeing garden buildings before making a final decision. You can visit our Surrey garden building display site between Guildford and Woking, where almost 80 representative timber, metal and concrete buildings are normally available to inspect.
Photographs are useful, but seeing corner-building layouts, doors, windows and construction in person makes it much easier to understand how they will work in your own garden. I started selling sheds in 1979 and still believe that seeing the quality for yourself is one of the best ways to make an informed decision.
