Diamond Woodgate Reverse Apex Shed
Customise Options
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’.
The sheer number of garden shed companies is amazing – all offering different prices and specifications. So how do you choose? It’s often an easy route to go for the cheapest but this is often made from ‘cheap’ materials which won’t last. This means you need to ask lots of questions before deciding to ensure you get the right garden shed for you.
You need to ask questions such as how thick is the timber, what grade of timber is used, is sheet material – such as chipboard or OSB board, used, is the shed erected free etc. Take a look on this page for advice on what to look out for – you won’t regret it. And you will nearly always find that the cheap shed is not the best value.
There is also a worry when buying a garden shed as to whether you will make the right choice. You will find that garden sheds 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 Woodgate transverse apex garden sheds 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 a 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 seem 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 Woodgate transverse apex garden shed 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 who will sell you a new wooden garden shed but 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 expectation but you can never be sure.
1st Choice has garden building display areas between Woking, Guildford and Farnham in Surrey where are over 100 buildings of all shapes and sizes to see. This allows you to see examples of your proposed wooden garden shed giving you a much better idea of the likely quality. And, even if you are unable to visit, the fact there is a 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.

Current Delivery Times:- This is variable depending on model but, due to unprecedented demand for this range and limits on raw materials following the lockdown, lead time is generally around 14-16 weeks on the Diamond range. Don’t be misled by other companies quoting 10 days delivery, 15 days delivery, 20 days delivery etc. When days are mentioned in deliveries they usually relate to ‘working days’. This means 10 days = two weeks, 15 days = three weeks and 20 days – four weeks not quite the same as you might have expected.
