Key Considerations for Choosing the Perfect Workshop or Shed
Garden sheds, garden workshops, summer houses and log cabins are made in many different types of materials, traditionally wood but also in metal or steel, plastic and concrete. The wood garden shed has the advantage of being more at home in the garden being made from the same materials as the trees in your garden. The warm appearance of timber is quite attractive and gives a feeling of being back to nature.

Should I View Before Buying?
Considering whether to view a garden room before making a purchase is crucial. Visiting the garden room allows you to assess its quality, size, and overall suitability for your specific needs. Viewing the garden room in person provides the opportunity to identify any potential issues or discrepancies that may not be evident from photos or descriptions alone. This hands-on approach enables you to make an informed decision and ensures that the garden room aligns with your expectations and requirements.
Key Considerations for Building a Durable Base for Your Shed
Without that, even the most expensive garden shed will struggle and you will have problems over the years. This is the most important part of the purchase of a garden building and you will find those decent shed companies such as 1st Choice Leisure Buildings will talk through the options and the merits of each type of base. Building a base is a relatively easy task for an average DIY'er, the most important thing is to plan what type of base you are going to put down and to allow sufficient time to do this before your new pride and joy is delivered.

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 have 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.

Before deciding on a new 9×8 outbuilding 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.
