Garden sheds are designed to meet the various needs of homeowners. Besides providing storage, they come in different sizes to fit a range of outdoor spaces. Even with limited square footage, there’s a shed that will work for you.
That’s what this guide is for! Here, we’ll break down the best sheds for small gardens to help you with your buying decisions.
Best Sheds For Small Gardens
We’ve put together a list of the best small sheds in a mix of materials to give you more options, whether you’re looking for a wood, plastic or metal shed.
Let’s start with wooden sheds:
BillyOh Master Tall Store
This vertical storage unit comes in a compact 3×2 or 3×3 size, perfect for tight spaces. It’s designed with internal shelves to make the most of the space, with plenty of room for your garden tools, cleaning supplies and other small items. The single door opens fully for easy access, and its height allows for storing taller items like brooms or rakes—which we like, and we think you will too!
Even though it’s small, this shed provides practical storage to help keep your garden tidy and clutter-free.
BillyOh Keeper Overlap Apex Shed
This garden shed is roomier than the tall store model. With its smallest size starting at 4×6 feet, it’s perfect for fitting bulkier tools like a lawnmower (as shown in the picture) and still has space for other essentials. It also features wall shelving for extra storage and more floor space. Plus, you can use the side walls to hang your garden tools.
If you need a small shed that can handle larger equipment, this might be just what you’re looking for.
BillyOh Mini Keeper Overlap Pent Store Shed
The mini Keeper is a low-profile, horizontally designed storage with a minimal footprint. Unlike the other models, this one features a wide and shallow structure. It’s suitable for storing larger items that don’t need much vertical space.
You can fit a bike inside and access it through the double doors. The boards inside the doors are ideal to attach hooks for helmets and other gear. Its low height is also great for storing lawn equipment, sports gear, or outdoor tools.
Overall, the mini Keeper is a compact but roomy garden storage unit that won’t take over a small garden.
Next are plastic sheds:
Jasmine 4×6 Plastic Apex Shed with Foundation Kit
The Jasmine model is like the Keeper Overlap in terms of size, but it’s made from polypropylene plastic, has a steel frame, and has a foundation kit. Its tall, narrow form can hold shovels, brooms, or even small ladders. A locking mechanism is also added at the single front door for security. Overall, the 4×6 design fits in narrow alleys or the small corners of your garden.
When it comes to style, it’s a neutral dark colour framed with white accents that give it a clean and modern look. Ventilation at the top also keeps moisture at bay.
Small, compact, but with great features—that’s what this plastic shed is all about!
BillyOh York Pent White Plastic Shed
Plastic sheds keep getting better, from the material used in construction to the overall design that does justice to their popularity. Our York Pent is a great testament to that!
With its modern style, the York Pent features edge skylights under a low-pitch pent roof and a sturdy metal frame. What’s more, 0mm polypropylene panels that are both waterproof and UV-protected.
Need a small, safe place to store your garden tools and equipment? The York ticks all the boxes. It fits in small corners and tight spots while providing year-round protection for lawnmowers, plant pots, rakes, trowels, or garden furniture.
It’s truly a worthwhile upgrade and investment!
Now, onto metal sheds:
Globel Apex Metal Shed
This Globel metal shed unit in 6×4 is manufactured from high-tensile, hot-dipped galvanised steel. It’s the result of two years of development to create a weather- and rust-resistant apex structure for light-clad metal sheds.
The apex roof structure gives you extra headroom in the centre of the shed, while the wide, flat walls are perfect for adding hooks or shelves. This kind of layout allows you to store ladders, garden heaters, or other vertical equipment and still leaves plenty of wall space for smaller tools and gear. Don’t worry about going in and out of the shed—the sliding doors glide smoothly. Lock them to keep your stored equipment safe and sound.
Small but powerful, it will surely last a long time!
Newton Lean to Metal Shed
The Newton metal shed is designed to lean against an existing wall or fence to maximise space without taking up unnecessary square footage. This leaves more of the garden free for other purposes—a valuable feature for your humble backyard.
The design features vertical ribbed metal panels, giving the unit a unique look compared to standard, plain metal sheds. It’s available in a green shade, a pop of colour that blends well with the natural landscape. But the highlight of Newton is its sliding door, letting you access the interior without needing extra room for a door to swing open. Inside, you can store gardening tools, small equipment, and outdoor items like watering cans, plant pots, and more.
All the garden sheds for sale on this list are great options, and most of them come in other colours and sizes. We hope this guide has helped you find the perfect small shed you’ll love for years to come.
