Shed Store

The choices are endless between overlap sheds and our more popular tongue and groove cladding, as well as apex, reverse apex, and pent roofing. We offer that, and much more, in order to customise your shed to suit your needs. Whether it’s a tool shed, a garden office, wooden storage shed or something completely different, you’ll find exactly what you need here at Garden Buildings Direct. Our garden buildings offer premium quality at a budget-friendly price, with a variety of feature options for each one so you can turn a simple wooden shed into almost anything you can think of.

Cladding Type

At Garden Buildings Direct, we've got tongue and groove for sheds as well as overlap cladding options. 

Tongue & Groove Garden Sheds

With solid walls that are built to withstand even the toughest British weather, our tongue and groove wooden sheds UK are sturdy, durable, and built to last.

Our premium tongue and groove panels are 11mm thick as standard and are engineered to slot together seamlessly, without the need for fixings. This design gives our wooden sheds great strength and offers weather-resistant protection from the elements. Tongue and groove cladding is stronger and more weather-resistant than shiplap and overlap cladding and is the perfect way to prevent any rainwater from getting into your shed and damaging belongings.

Overlap Cladding

Overlap cladding also uses slats of timber but they're overlapped and nailed together rather than interlocking like a tongue and groove shed. Overlap cladding is the cheapest option for garden sheds uk but it doesn't mean that cheap sheds have to skimp on quality!

Our overlap sheds are specifically designed so that water runs easily off the side of your garden building. Overlap sheds are a cheaper alternative, perfect for first-time buyers, small families or new homeowners on a budget. While overlap cladding provides defence in most conventional rain storms, tongue and groove cladding is more appropriate if you’re looking for long-term protection from the elements.

Pressure Treated Timber

For maximum protection, you can opt for our pressure treated sheds. Pressure-treated wood is treated with chemicals in a vacuum that allows them to penetrate deep to treat it against rot. Not only is it a more sustainable way of treating timber, but a pressure treated timber shed will require less maintenance over time. This saves you time and money in re-treating your shed, resulting in a longer-lasting shed.

For example, our BillyOh pressure treated sheds come with a 15-year guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation. That being said, even pressure-treated sheds may need care and maintenance every few years. Speak to a member of our customer team to discuss the maintenance requirements of our buildings to help you choose the right product.

Apex, Reverse, Or Pent Roof

Pent wooden sheds and apex sheds differ in the type of roof they utilise. So for online sheds, you might be wondering what the difference is. Across our wooden garden sheds we offer a range of products with either:

• Apex roof - Two sloping roof panels form an A-frame at the highest point in the middle and drop away to either side of the front of the shed.
• Reverse apex roof - The same as an apex roof, but slopes to the front and back of the shed.
• Pent roof - A single-surface roof with the highest point at the front and slopes down to the back of the shed.

Your choice of roofing style will depend on what look you are going for but also what you might be using your wooden shed for. An apex roof is a traditional silhouette for a wooden shed. Apex roofing also provides more headroom, so if you’re looking to use your wooden shed as a garden workshop, office or any other building you’re going to be spending a lot of time in, an apex roof might be a good choice. 

A pent roof shed, on the other hand, provides a sleek and sharp contemporary design look for your garden building. While some pent sheds are constructed to a height that accommodates standing room, pent roofing is generally more suitable to buildings you’re not likely to be spending time in, such as tool sheds, bike storage or other storage sheds.

Window Or Windowless

And with windowed sheds and windowless options, we stock sheds uk suitable for all uses. A garden shed with windows, for example, might work better as a DIY store where you'll need natural light.

Choose between sheds with or without windows, depending on your needs. Windows are an essential addition to any garden office or workshop, but they might provide a security issue for storage sheds. Take a look at our windowless options for storing bikes, wheelie bins or garden tools, and our sheds with windows for summerhouses, workshops, and home offices.

Wooden Workshop

Not only can uk sheds be great as storage space, but the double doors on models like the BillyOh Tongue and Groove Apex Garden Shed make them perfect for use as wooden workshops, too. So explore our range of cheap wooden sheds to find a model and size that aligns with your needs.

Explore Your Options

We carry a wide range of sizes for garden storage solutions beyond just wooden sheds for sale. All our products are made with hard-wearing materials such as aluminium, steel, plastic and of course high-quality European sourced timber. So whatever style of shed you’re looking for, our products deliver premium quality at budget-friendly prices.

How long does a wooden shed last?

The lifespan of uk sheds can vary, depending on a number of crucial factors. These include the type of wood used when manufacturing the shed, how well constructed it is, and its location within your garden. A BillyOh wooden shed comes with a 10-year guarantee against rot, decay, and insect infestation, for example. But with proper care and maintenance, you could extend its life well beyond that. 

How much do wooden sheds cost?

Wooden sheds range in price depending on size, treatment, and customisation materials. For example, our selection of sheds includes a wooden storage shed which starts from just £229 all the way up to fully-functioning premium log cabin workshops.

Does a wooden shed need a base?

We would advise building any outdoor shed straight onto the ground or grass. A solid and level base can determine how long your wooden shed will last and how stable it is. Level the ground of your proposed shed site and install a base made from any of:

• Concrete slab
• Pavers
• Timber sub-floor
• Plastic foundation and gravel

For more information, check out our resource page on how to build a shed base. 

Quality & Guarantee

If you want to find sheds to buy, it can be hard to get a gauge of quality with online sheds. That's why we only use quality timber for our sheds. With quality European-sourced timber we can ensure that our uk sheds are built to our high standards such that we can offer our BillyOh 10-year anti-rot guarantee.

But quality buildings with tongue & groove cladding would be worthless if we couldn't offer quality at budget to our customers. That's why you're sure to find a cheap wooden shed that fits your budget here at Garden Buildings Direct.

Part of that promise is offering our garden buildings in a range of sizes. Suitable for outdoor spaces big and small, our array of sizes of t&g sheds means that we've got sheds to buy no matter what size your garden!
