Diamond Portslade Pent Solar Potting Shed

The Diamond Solar Potting Shed is a great addition for your garden and can be used for growing produce for using in your home. It can also be used for planting seeds so that you can give those plants an early start when you plant them out in your garden. With its pent (mono-pitch or flat roof) there should be a style which appeals to you. Take a look at one at the 1st Choice Garden Shed display area near Guildford and make your own mind up.

The humble garden shed is a vital extra for most homes as it provides extra storage outside your home but close enough to access whenever you want. The extra shed these garden sheds bring enables you to utilise your internal space inside your home for more leisurely pursuits – always a bonus in our modern homes where space is at a premium. Always try to buy the largest garden shed you can afford to ensure the greatest amount of flexibility for storage and for working in. This enables all your clutter to be stored away ‘just in case’.

There is also a worry when buying a garden building as to whether you will make the right choice. You will find that they come in a wide variety of price ranges and sizes so how do you choose. It might seem that the cheapest shed you can buy will be the best option but like many things in life, it’s not that simple. Just the difference in the quality of wood can make a large difference to how long your new shed will last – so tread carefully. There are many garden shed companies out there to choose from so how do you decide who to use. A good idea is to look at previous customers feedback and you can see 1st Choice Garden Sheds feedback on the independent feedback site which should give you a good idea about them and their products which are all made from sustainable timber sources.

You may find that some garden sheds are cheaper than others and there is a reason for this – and this comes down to the quality of materials used. These Diamond buildings are made from the slow-growing redwood deal rather than the cheap fast growing and less resilient white wood used on most ‘cheap’ sheds. This costs a little more but is worth every penny. Always insist on proper T&G timber as this will ensure the best resistance to our British weather and protecting your valuable. The thickness of the framing is also important as some cheap garden sheds will have framework not much larger than 1in x 1in (25mm x 25mm) -crazy!! Ideally, look for 2in x 2in (nominal size) vertical framing for the strongest shed.

Again to try to make a cheap shed many companies use materials such as chipboard, OSB board, wafer board or Sterling board. All of these are totally unsuitable for use on a garden shed meant to last. As soon as these boards get wet they will start to disintegrate and this puts your valuables at risk – don’t take this chance. You also need to look out for some cheap garden shed companies describing their floors and roof as being made from ‘sheet materials. This is meant to hide the facts that they are using chipboard type materials and could be seen as underhand. Caber board is an exception to this as this is designed specifically for wet environments such as a kitchen or bathroom in a brand new house. This is standard on the Barnham Heavy Duty Workshops and on all garden sheds 8ft x 8ft and over. Great choice.

Garden sheds by their very nature are heavy – well certainly well-made quality ones – so it can be hard work to build them. All the Diamond Solar Potting garden sheds include free assembly to make life easier for you. This also ensures it has been built correctly and that the building won’t have any problems such as leaking. The cheap garden shed companies often claim it’s a doddle to build a garden shed and this is often because they don’t offer a garden shed assembly service or by doing so make their garden sheds a lot more expensive. Why take the chance – let someone else take the strain and you put your feet up. You back will thank you for it.

You will find that many internet companies selling garden sheds don’t have a display site where you can view and examine their sheds before buying. You are expected to buy from a flashy web site or sometimes from a colour leaflet – not really ideal – and you are in their hands until after your new garden shed appears in your garden. Hopefully, it will meet your expectations but you can never be sure. 1st Choice has a garden shed display area at Farnham and Guildford in Surrey where are over 100 buildings of all shapes and sizes to see. This allows you to see examples of garden sheds giving you a much better idea of the likely quality. And, even if you are unable to visit, the fact there is a garden shed display area means that the company in question has the confidence for the public to view beforehand. Peace of mind as standard – what a nice option.
