When choosing a timber building, you need to check the specifications to ensure it will have the strength to last. So always check out the thickness of the timber, whether it’s made from redwood or the cheap inferior whitewood, how thick the framing is etc. Are the doors and windows joinery made, meaning they will last a long time? Does it has toughened glass for safety or imperfect horticultural glass, plastic or perspex? All important questions.
On many of the buildings available on the web, you will find that they will deliver them to your house and leave them for you to build. You can save a little money this way, but you will have to build it yourself. That’s OK if you are a good DIYer, but it will still be hard work. The best option is to take advantage of 1st Choice’s FREE assembly option on the Diamond and Platinum buildings. They will do all the hard work – all you need to do is build a level base for it to go onto. And they can even arrange that for you as well if you wish. This way, you can be sure your new building will be built correctly, and all you need to do is enjoy it.
We have a large range of buildings for you to choose from and in several styles. However, we specialise in making buildings to suit your needs. Whether it needs to be taller, extra or fewer windows, the doors and windows moved, we can do that for you. Ensure you buy the building to suit you and your family with no compromises. Give us a call on (0333) 800 8880 or visit our showroom and discuss what you would like. We are happy to provide a quote to suit you with no pressure.
We provide 6 x 4 sheds with a protective treatment but why not consider a building painted with Sadolin (Diamond Buildings) or Valtti (Platinum Buildings) paints. Both are available in a range of colours so you find a colour to suit you. You can find more details about

Before deciding on a new 4×6 shed for your garden, you should always do your homework (sorry!) as it’s very easy to be taken in with a flashy website leaflet or colour brochure. Try to find time and make a trip down to one of our showrooms where you can examples on view. By doing so, you will then be able to decide what you may be buying. We have a large collection of wooden buildings that you are welcome to view. We will be delighted to show you the different buildings and answer any queries you may have. We can provide quotations as well. Another thing to do is to take a look at the
feedback from previous customers which can be enlightening.
All of our timber sheds which we sell are not the 'cheap and cheerful' buildings you can buy online made from inferior materials and down to a price. After 40 years in the business we know what is important in making a quality garden shed - one that will last and will look good in your garden.
Don't risk buying a 'bad un'. Do your research and always, if possible, go and look at your intended purchase before signing on the 'dotted line'. Don't end up in the situation - if only! Visit one of our show sites and see for yourself how good our sheds are. You won't regret it.
During these recessionary times this government have been promoting the Big Society, which in itself sounds a good thing, but in practice not always practical. Where, sometimes, it can work is with allotment societies who all work to produce garden produce for their home. By sharing resources and ideas they can save money and be more efficient. You will find that on most allotments, in the many
6 x 4 garden sheds, there is a massive amount of gardening tools.
Many of these are only used infrequently and lend themselves to being shared. To a certain degree like farmers sharing a combine harvester. By utilising these tools in these garden huts they can all help each other. If there is a building as large as 6 x 4 then maybe that could be a central distribution point – who knows?
Another way allotment owners can help each other is when they are relaxing in their timber sheds, which appears to be the ‘norm’ if you watch Eastenders, they can talk about what seeds and plants to buy and by combining their needs can save further money on these items. As well as sharing ideas and buying crops to grow the shed plays a great role in giving ‘inner peace’ and relaxation.
I would say that the common old garden shed is a particularly British thing and these sheds can often be just an old ramshackle building made from bits and pieces right through to a very precise regimented look of garden shed insisted on by some allotment societies. These can look good but, to a certain degree, the cluttered personal look of the individual’s sheds look more as it should be.
In another scheme residents, keen on gardening, in BUPA care homes are being encouraged to help volunteer to help grow their own fruit and vegetables. By utilising the tools in the sheds at the homes they are able to take part in this project called Community Crops.
This initiative by BUPA feels that this should help the general health of their ‘inmates’ (sorry residents) and will improve their fitness and well being. By the use of the lawnmower, kept dry in the home’s garden building this will help and improve cardiovascular health which must be seen as a good thing. Obviously not everybody can use the lawnmower but most residents are able to plant a few seeds and to be able to tend to them.
Residents in these care homes throughout the country are also encouraging local groups to follow these ideas through by giving them free seeds. With these seeds they are able also to grow their own food.
BUPA’s community affairs assistant, Elisha Gardner (yes, really) said that there are good reasons to get growing. Besides keeping you active, you also get plenty of fresh air as well as getting the enjoyment of eating your own home grown fruit and veg. This campaign was supported by the Prince’s Trust and this means that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds could get involved and to socialise with other generations.
