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.

Before deciding on a new 5×6 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.

As we get older the risk to our property can rise so it’s important that we take good care of our
garden and outdoor buildings. This group of people traditionally have a little more time and tending to the garden and pottering about is one of the favourite pastimes. Important to this activity is a good reasonably size garden shed, usually at least 6×5 in size, where there is space to maybe have a chair and a little space for a radio and some magazines or books. It has also been know that MP3 players are also popular.
Even though there is a little less money around this age group do tend to have a little more disposable cash available due to having paid of the mortgage on their homes and with their children grown up and making their own way in the world. However, with the economic climate many children are having to stay at home or after leaving home are forced back because of the financial situation of the world. As ever there is a word generated to describe this phenomenon and that is ‘Boomerang kids’ – which is nothing to do with Rolf Harris – and their loving parents are known as ‘BabyGloomers’ as a play on the Baby Boomers of the 50’s and 60’s.
The humble shed have been known to have been converted for the returning child’s use either as a 6×5 bedroom away from the house or for a small secluded private space for them. In the instance of using the garden shed then planning permission is nearly always needed but many sheds are not mentioned to the council. To be honest I can’t blame them as life can be tough and provided you are not upsetting your neighbours with undue noise or the shed is an eyesore then I don’t see the problem.
In any instance it is important that all sheds are kept securely locked and even more so over the dark winter months. Full precautions should be taken to protect these shed from thieves. A recent research by Sage showed that 14% of outdoor buildings are kept unlocked and a quarter don’t even put valuables in a locked shed.
The average value of items garages and sheds is £783 and typical claim for garden related thefts is £378, the research showed. However, older people are more likely to have even more value in their sheds with an average of £903 so the need to be even more careful is important. The chairman of Saga, Andrew Goodsell, said that many of us could face hefty bills to replace items neglected during the harsher period of the year or which are stolen from the vulnerable sheds. Only a little while ago Gloucestershire Police recommended installing metal grilles, more secure locks and garden shed alarms.
If you are concerned about security then the SafeStore Steel sheds are a very good option. made from very thick steel (about 3 times thicker than the normal domestic shed) and with a steel base they are very hard to break into. The steel is hot dipped galvanised steel, not just electro plated which most cheap metal sheds you get at the big DIY chains of catalogue stores.
