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 7×6 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 6×7 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 our showroom 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.

When the Olympics was fast approaching athletes and competitors are training even harder trying to ensure that come that July they were at the peak of their fitness and abilities in their quest to win those coveted medals. With over 20,000 athletes descending on East London then competition will be fierce. At a different level the
Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) set up a contest to find the best for the site of the Olympic Park. Clearly this is something which us mere mortals had the opportunity to take part in – and it’s the taking part which is supposed to be important.
Entrants in this design competition were asked to submit a 7X6 garden design on A4 paper showing what they would like in their gardens and to give a general look of what this garden should be like. Further to this they needed to give a short explanation as to why their design would reflect the unique qualities of British gardens.
Twelve amateurs gardeners were in the final running for this from over 200 entries submitted at the Olympic Gardens. Thousands of people voted online at the organisation’s Great British Gardens web site. After careful deliberation the winners were Rachel Read in the adult category and Hannah Clegg in the Children category.
This meant that a world class team of garden designers and landscape architects will work to bring their creations to life, so their gardens could be viewed by millions. It will of course be left in place after the games as a legacy so their creative green ideas will live on. A typical garden would consist of lawns, plants, bushes and flowers and water is a feature which would appeal to a lot of people.
The issues of some out door storage is also a consideration and a garden shed or possibly two smaller sheds may be implemented however a good design will blend these 7 x 6 sheds into the design or would have them hidden away.
The RHS also announced a little while ago its programme of garden events which will keep us enthusiasts busy during the winter period and leading up to spring. This advice included protecting your garden from frosts and gale force winds. Check ties, stakes and supports to ensure they are not damaged and maybe moving plants out of the inclement weather, maybe behind the garden shed or garden workshop. Also, try to feed the birds as they find it difficult at this time of year to find food.
