Imagine weekends spent relaxing in a clutter-free garden, all thanks to the spacious 14ft x 12ft shed from 1st Choice Leisure Buildings. This investment provides a practical solution tailored to your needs, offering ample storage for tools, outdoor equipment, or garden supplies to help maintain an organised space.
Ideal for a variety of uses, it can serve as a bike storage area, a potting bench corner for gardening enthusiasts, or even a compact workshop for your DIY projects. Its versatile nature helps you maximise its functionality to suit your lifestyle.
When choosing a timber building, it’s crucial to ensure it has the strength to last. Look for sheds constructed with solid 19 mm timber boards; you can knock on and hear the heft, rather than the flimsy feel of the inferior whitewood. Consider the robust framing and opt for redwood for its durability and quality.
Are the doors and windows solidly made, meaning they will last a long time? Does it have toughened glass for safety or imperfect horticultural glass, plastic or perspex? All important questions.

If, as mentioned above, you intend to use your shed as a home office, garden gym or entertainment space, then you may also want to insulate this space. This way, your space can remain usable all year round – not just when the weather is nice!
All of our bespoke, customisable sheds are made from the highest-quality timber, as opposed to OSB (Oriented Strand Board) or manmade boards. Not only is this much more aesthetically pleasing, but it is also much more durable. We like to call this lasting quality our ‘Heritage Timber Advantage.’ This means that your shed is built to last! All with great height inside.
Glass windows can enhance the overall appearance of your shed while allowing access to natural light when in use. At 1st Choice, we use toughened glass on all of our Diamond and Platinum buildings as this can again help ensure that it stands the test of time.
If you have a specific vision for your shed, we’re here to bring that to life. Picture transforming a tired, peeling garden corner into a vibrant azure studio that immediately enhances the appeal of your outdoor space. For example, we have a wide range of colour finishes available, from more traditional shades of brown to more adventurous blues. Either way, a specialist coating prevents fading and ensures your shed always looks its best.
At 1st Choice, we put YOU first, and our customers’ feedback shows this. This means that you’ll be in charge at every stage of the process, from designing your dream 9 x 4 shed and making the most of our bespoke designs and customisation options to installation.
So, whether you are ready to get started right away or would like to visit our Surrey showroom to explore your options in more detail, please do not hesitate to get in touch today. We look forward to hearing from you.

Are there any limits on customisation?
If you are looking for a shed slightly different from the standard, then we can help. You need to chat with us about your needs, and we will then let you know the costings. If you want a slightly different size, extra or no windows, a different door, or extra height, that will not be a problem. You can even add a room inside, making your shed a combination shed.

Can you put a shed straight onto paving slabs?
Garden sheds are a must-have feature for every typical British garden. These sanctuaries allow you to appreciate the seasons’ glory while also giving shelter from the sun, wind, and rain.
To ensure your shed stands the test of time, mastering the art of a solid foundation is essential. Without it, your shed could slowly rot, tip over, or be swept away by a strong gust. You can choose from paving slabs, a concrete base, sturdy timber beams, or a timber subframe.
Fortunately, you will not have to learn how to build a garden shed on your own. This
guide is here to help. It discusses the various types of bases for garden buildings, how to construct them, who to hire for base construction, and how to repair and maintain your installation. Everything you need is in one location.

How do I determine the right shed size for my garden space?
To determine the right shed size for your garden, you will need to measure the available space and consider where the door and windows need to go. You need to allow about 12 inches all around the shed so you can treat the shed afterwards.
You do not want your shed to take over the garden, so bear that in mind when deciding. A 7ft x 5ft or 8ft x 6ft shed is a useful 'all rounder' for most gardens. If you have a larger-than-standard garden, then make sure you don't go too big.
-
How long does installation take, and do I need to prepare anything?
If your foundation is prepared before we arrive, most buildings can be assembled in just one day, depending on the project's scale. Our team designs, organises, and transports all necessary materials the same day to ensure an efficient process.
This approach allows us to erect your building quickly and with minimal disruption. If you require assistance constructing a shed base, we can help - visit our services page for further information and support.

What factors should I consider when choosing a shed size?
When considering what size shed to buy, the first thing to think about is how you will use the shed. How much garden equipment do you have, for instance?
Are you likely to need any future storage needs? It is always a good idea to opt for a larger shed, as this will provide more flexibility for the future. You will be glad that you did.
-
What is the life expectancy of a shed?
The lifespan of a garden shed can vary depending on several factors, such as the materials used, the quality of construction, the climate, and maintenance. However, according to various sources, the average lifespan of a garden shed is between 20 and 30 years.
The quality of materials really matters. Be careful with sheds made from man-made boards like OSB, or oriental strand board. These can fall apart if they get wet, which is not ideal for something kept outdoors.
If you choose proper timber for your new shed and treat it on a regular basis, there is no reason for it to deteriorate in the short term.
-
What shed size is best for my gardening needs?
When deciding on the right size of shed, you need to consider what you will use it for. If you want just a small one to store your garden tools and a few bits, then a 6ft x 4ft shed would be OK.
If you would like to use it as a workshop, then look at buildings 10x8 and over. If you have mighty plans for the future and wish to share the space with family members, then any size from 12x8 to 20x10 might be the right choice.
