Choosing a garden building is an investment, so it's important to buy from a company you can rely on. At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we've been helping customers find the right garden sheds, summerhouses, log cabins, garden offices and workshops
since 1979 when
Robin Antill opened the doors. As a
family-run business, we believe in offering honest advice rather than a hard sell. We take the time to understand what you need and help you choose a building that suits your garden, your budget and the way you plan to use it.
Our approach is reflected in our
4.9 Trustpilot rating, where customers regularly mention our friendly, helpful service. We only work with manufacturers we trust, selecting buildings that offer good quality, durability and value for money. Most are made from
FSC®-certified timber and built to cope with the British weather. If you'd rather see a building before you buy, you're welcome to visit one of the
UK's largest garden building display sites.

Being able to compare different models and talk things through with our experienced team helps many customers make the right decision. With more than 47 years' experience and over 50,000 buildings supplied across the UK, we've built our reputation on quality products, straightforward advice and customer service you can depend on. We are always available to meet your needs or requirements so
contact us NOW if you would like help or advice.
We live quite far away; is it really worth visiting our show rooms? Absolutely!
We strongly urge anyone looking for a new building – whether it's a new garden shed, summerhouse, workshop, garage, or a full garden room – to
visit and inspect the quality in person before committing to any purchase.
Seeing the craftsmanship, materials and finishes for yourself is the best way to make a confident and informed decision.
Whilst we cannot display everything we offer, we have carefully selected around 80 different buildings that allow us to demonstrate almost every feature, design option, and construction detail in one form or another.
This allows you to compare styles, sizes and specifications, ask any questions you may have, and find the building that best suits your needs.
So, yes, it is absolutely worth visiting.

Are you the type of homeowner who maximises every inch of your garden space? If so, our unique collection of corner sheds is designed for you. These innovative structures, exclusive to 1st Choice, fit into tight spaces where traditional sheds can’t, allowing you to utilise your plot’s square footage fully. With their unique design and high-quality construction, our corner sheds stand out from the competition.
Our corner sheds are not just for storage. Use them for garden tools, workshops, or to complement the rest of your outdoor space by providing a focal point. Their versatility makes them a perfect addition to any garden.
Quality Redwood Construction
1st Choice Leisure Buildings uses redwood to construct our corner garden sheds. We deliberately avoid inferior materials, like OSB artificial boards, to improve overall quality. Redwood is our timber of choice due to its renowned durability and stunning aesthetics.
It looks fantastic and can last for years, even when used heavily. It’s tough enough to withstand things leaning against it and even the famous British weather. With regular treatments, it can endure freezing winter temperatures for many years.
Toughened Glass Windows For Extra Strength
Shed windows’ average life expectancy isn’t long. And given how people use outbuildings, that’s not surprising. Conventional panes usually get smashed and are challenging to replace. Fortunately, our toughened glass makes broken windows less likely to occur.
Hailstorms are no match! It is made through the process of tempering. Heating the outside while allowing the inside to cool creates a dynamic tension that holds the glass in place when under stress, even when conventional glass would smash. It’s why glass coffee table tops are so strong, but jam jars aren’t!
Customise Your Shed Your Way
With 1st Choice, you can customise your shed your way. (Forget generic options!) With us, you can choose the colour finish, size, shape, and base for your corner garden storage, providing you with exactly what you need. Every shed we build is unique and tailored to you.
If you aren’t sure which corner garden structures are suitable for your plot of land, we can help. Our team can suggest ideas that match your existing outdoor spaces and provide you with utility for many years to come.
For example, if you want to use the shed in the winter, we suggest optional insulation to retain warmth.
Take Care Of Everything With Our Free Installation
Furthermore, 1st Choice offers free installation on all large corner sheds and the small corner sheds we sell, making your life even easier. Our team arrives at your property and erects your new outbuilding in hours, sometimes minutes! We handle the construction process from start to finish, allowing you to watch or do something else.
We can also keep you updated on our progress and show you how we work, so you can feel confident that you’re getting the best craftsmanship. Why bother with DIY when you have 1st Choice to help you?
Visit Our Showroom
If you want, you can also visit our showroom to learn more about our corner sheds. Viewing them in the flesh helps you imagine their appearance in your garden. Our showrooms are located between Guildford, Ripley and Woking in Surrey.
We add new sheds every season, showcasing our latest designs and how our creations can enhance your outdoor spaces. You can inspect our redwood timber and toughened glass panels in person to see the difference they make.

Corner sheds can often fit in your garden’s spare space, allowing you to use every little area productively. Units are stylish and long-lasting, thanks to their redwood construction.

5 Reasons Why You Need an Insulated Garden Shed
Picture this for a moment: a warm, sunny day, maybe the first warm day of the year. You’re gearing up for a relaxing afternoon of gardening, getting your garden summer-ready.
You head to your garden shed, eager to retrieve some tools and get to work. But as you swing open the door, a wave of stifling heat hits you, and you’re met with a disappointing sight.
Everything in the garden shed - your tools, outdoor cushions, and maybe even your Christmas decoration looks far from maintained. But that’s what happens when extreme temperatures hit.
They take a toll and can sometimes damage belongings beyond repair, adding to your already long list of outdoor maintenance tasks. An
insulated shed can relieve this stress and ensure your belongings are always in good condition.

Garden Shed Insulation How Proper Insulation Can Help Alleviate Condensation
The satisfaction of gardening stems from a clear vision and effective management. Refining pathways, cultivating flower beds, and growing vegetables are rewarding practices to plan and accomplish.
While gardening is a fulfilling hobby, it also brings unique challenges. How will you keep soil healthy during a warm summer or protect against pests? These challenges are opportunities to demonstrate your skills and commitment. Additionally, how will you maintain your garden buildings?
Maintaining garden utilities is becoming more important. Although sheds, summerhouses, workshops, and other outbuildings are built from durable materials and treated for weather resistance, ongoing exposure to the elements can still impact them.
Condensation can be an issue.

How Many Sheds Can I Have in My Garden?
There is no legal limit on the number of sheds you may place on your property. The key requirement is that each shed complies with UK planning regulations.
What really matters is whether each shed meets the permitted development rights, which set out rules for the size, height, location, and overall footprint of outbuildings in your garden. These regulations are designed to ensure that garden buildings remain proportionate to your property and do not have an unreasonable impact on neighbouring homes or the surrounding area.
Understanding these rules will help you determine whether you can have
two sheds on your property — or even more — without needing planning permission.

How to Choose, Build & Maintain Your Shed
When purchasing a garden building, you have many companies to choose from, each offering a wide range of prices and quality. It is important to ensure your outbuilding is built to last.
Many companies do not offer the option to view their structures before purchase, so you may not know the quality until delivery. We provide large showrooms where you can inspect our Diamond, Sapphire and Platinum heavy-duty sheds and workshops in person.
You can
make an informed decision by examining our products before purchasing. If a company does not allow you to view their products in advance, proceed with caution.
