Buying a bigger shed?
Start at 8×6ft for mixed bike-and-mower storage and 10×8ft for a working bench layout. Our size guide explains when to move up. Do not buy one of these compact picks just because it is cheaper if your contents need a larger building.
Three checks before you order
- Draw your equipment inside the usable interior, leaving a route to the door.
- Check the site, base and delivery route against the exact model.
- Add the building, base, delivery, assembly, extras and removal to one budget.
