Don’t Buy On Price Alone
When choosing a new mono-pitch roof garden-workshop you need to check out thoroughly the specifications of it. Examine the very high specifications below to ensure any prospective purchase meets the very high standards of the Platinum Southampton Pent model.
The most important is ensuring the right quality of materials are used and that it’s built correctly. They are more expensive than a ‘run of the mill’ building but no corners are cut when making it. NEVER made ‘down to a price’. You MAY save some money but will you get what you really want?

When buying a garden building it’s important that you buy one which will suit you and your garden so rather than compromising we offer a very large range of styles which should suit all situations. However, if our standard styles of sheds don’t fit YOUR bill please let us know and we will endeavour to accommodate you. After all it is YOUR new garden building so you should call the shots, so to speak.
