Heavy Duty Metal Sheds – Practical, Low Maintenance Storage Solutions
Are You Looking For Effective Storage Solutions That Don’t Compromise On Aesthetic Appeal? When it comes to storage sheds, there are plenty of options available. You can choose between a range of sizes and materials – but many people turn to metal as it’s a cost-effective solution to ensure maximum protection from severe weather. At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we supply high-quality metal sheds so that you can store your bikes, furniture and garden equipment. Each of our metal shed designs is made from galvanised steel, and some SafeStore buildings have pick resistant Euro cylinder locks. They’re also fireproof and aren’t susceptible to rot, so if you’re looking for a maintenance-free garden storage solution, you’ll find there are many benefits to our galvanised metal storage solutions.
Why Choose a Galvanised Metal Shed?
Metal garden sheds can be an excellent option for providing extra storage in your garden and can accommodate larger garden equipment such as sports gear, bikes, and gardening tools. Not only are they incredibly cost-effective, but metal itself is a low maintenance material. If your top priorities are security, affordability and protection, you can’t go wrong with galvanised metal storage sheds. Metal is much less likely to suffer from the effects of water damage, can withstand severe weather conditions and is completely fireproof.
Our Metal Garden Sheds Are Designed to Last
We offer a selection of high-quality metal sheds that will protect your valuable items from severe weather conditions and theft. Each model is made from galvanised steel, which increases security and stops the material from rotting. If security is top of your priority list, our sheds are built to keep out thieves. With pick and drill resistant locks (omn many models), and a unique assembly process that ensures no exposed screws and extra reinforced hinges, you can rest assured that a SafeStore shed will offer additional protection. Condensation is a potential problem with any building, but our sheds are specially designed to maximise the airflow inside your shed, improve ventilation and reduce the chances of condensation build-up.
Choose Your Desired Size
All of our SafeStore Gold and Silver sheds come in a range of sizes, so you can find the right one for your needs. We do recommend you purchase a larger shed because it can accommodate your growing storage needs.
Our most popular sizes include:
Metal Workshops/Sheds: 5ft wide, and 7ft, 11ft or 14 ft long.
Secure Bike Storage: Various options can accommodate three bikes, with premium models being extendable in length.
Apex Metal Garden Sheds: Sizes range from 6 x 3 to 10 x 8.
Caravan Sheds: 46 x 23 and 35 x 77. Our caravan sheds are also made with PVC coated, hot dipped steel, making them a lot thicker than the average metal shed.
We encourage you to search through the many available designs and sizes to find which suits your preferences. At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we understand that flexibility is essential, which is why we offer such a vast selection of metal garden storage solutions.
Buy Heavy Duty Metal Sheds With Floors & Benefit From Optional Installation
Our SafeStore Gold storage sheds normally come with a free steel floor base, enhanced security doors, and are incredibly easy to assemble. You can also take advantage of SafeStore Gold installation service , so if you’re looking for a perfect shed that won’t cost you in time or money, our product range and installation options won’t disappoint.
What’s The Difference Between Galvanised and Hot Dipped Galvanised Steel?
Galvanising, in general, protects metals from corrosion, so it’s a vital process if you want a long-lasting shed. Hot dipped galvanised metal is similar to traditional galvanised metals, but it tends to have a rougher finish instead of the standard smooth finish.
Both methods are highly effective at preventing corrosion, but hot-dipped galvanised materials are a cheaper solution. That’s why you’ll notice our SafeStore Gold products are made with extra thick galvanised materials, and the SafeStore Silver products use the hot dipping process.

FAQs For Metal Sheds
No results!
-
Are these SafeStore sheds fire proof?
No, SafeStore sheds are not fire-rated. While they are constructed from metal, this does not provide official fireproof certification. A metal construction means they can’t easily be ignited and will last longer than wooden sheds in the event of a fire. However, SafeStore sheds are not officially fire-rated in any way.
-
Do SafeStore metal sheds suffer from condensation?
A metal shed can be prone to dampness and condensation without proper planning. SafeStore metal garden sheds include a roof ventilation system that reduces condensation, keeping your equipment dry and safe. If the shed base is not built correctly, a damp base will likely cause condensation, so always ensure the concrete or slab base is slightly larger than the shed. The edges of the base should be smoothed and angled downward to prevent water seepage. Also, make sure there are no plants or bushes near the shed, as they can allow moisture to enter.
-
Is it possible to install my SafeStore shed directly on my lawn?
SafeStore sheds are among the heaviest and most secure available. Placing a shed directly on your lawn may cause it to sink over time, and can make the doors difficult to open if the shed is not level. Recommended metal shed base sizes are listed at the bottom of each product page. For guidance on building a suitable shed base, please call us as we may be able to help..
-
The Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) specialises in testing the security features of products. Several of our metal sheds have been tested and certified to Level 1, and many are built to meet this standard. Please note that some companies may claim to hold this certification without proper documentation. We recommend requesting certification for each product. For more information about SafeStore Secure Steel Sheds LPCB ratings, please contact us.
-
What is the steel thickness used, and does it make a difference?
Safestore metal sheds use heavy-gauge galvanised steel, which is a higher grade than competitors offer. This construction makes the shed exceptionally strong, durable, and resistant to weather and theft.
-
What size metal shed do I need for my garden?
Does your garden building fit your available space? In our experience, storage in a garden shed is always fully utilised. Have you considered choosing the largest shed that fits comfortably within your area and budget? SafeStore offers a wide range of sizes—what are your specific storage needs? If you are replacing an existing shed, do you want to keep the same size or go bigger? How often will you use the shed? Do you need easy access, single or double doors, or ramp access?
-
Why do you provide a base size, and what does it represent?
We recommend installing our sheds on a 50mm concrete or similar solid base. A level, flat surface ensures proper door function and simplifies assembly. Please avoid placing sheds on grass or soil, as the weight of our metal sheds may cause them to sink into the ground. Shed base size information is available at the bottom of each product page.
-
Why is the delivery time so long?
All metal sheds are designed and manufactured in-house, and the trained installation crews manage delivery and installation (installation is an optional extra). Although this process may take a bit longer, it ensures your product arrives complete and fully functional. Each product is visually inspected before dispatch and again upon delivery to confirm it is in excellent condition.
