Tongue and Groove Wooden Sheds

What are the benefits of buying a wooden shed? 

A wooden shed is classic option for keeping your garden belongings safely stored away, and with a huge range of sizes, roofs, and cladding types available, you’re sure to find the perfect shed for your space.

From small wooden sheds for space-saving storage to large timber sheds for storing all your garden essentials, it’s never been easier to find your perfect shed. With a huge variety of uses in your garden, we have dip treated wooden sheds as well as pressure treated wooden sheds to suit every budget!

Wooden sheds are the popular choice

Wooden sheds remain a staple in people’s gardens and have a natural, traditional look. Although plastic sheds and metal sheds are widely available, the appeal of a wooden shed is unmatched and is still one of the most popular shed materials.

Timber shed roofs

We have timber sheds with different roof shapes to suit your space. A classic apex shed allows rain to easily run off the roof and avoid water saturation, with a door on the end which is great for storing bikes and lawn mowers with ease. If that doesn’t suit your garden space, reverse apex sheds have the door on the longer side if you need your shed to sit flush against a wall, giving you easy access to your equipment. Pent sheds have one, sloping roof, good for smaller gardens if height is restricted.

Available in a range of sizes

Our popular sizes for wooden sheds are 6x4, 8x6, 10x6, and 10x8, though you’ll also find plenty of other choice so you can find the shed which is perfect for your needs and garden space. From small sheds for garden tools to large sheds for power tools and potting benches, there’s a wooden shed for you.

Hardwearing wooden sheds

Our range of timber sheds are easy to assemble and are available in different cladding, or construction types. Overlap sheds are made from overlapping horizontal timber slats and are a good option if you’re working to a budget. The slats on a shiplap shed interlock, great for letting water run off freely and aiding with weatherproofing. Tongue & groove sheds are a premium option and are usually the sturdiest wooden sheds for storing high-value or bulky items.

Maintaining your timber shed

Using a shed base is important for any shed, but especially a timber shed, protecting it from damage and rot and ensuring it sits on a level surface. Dip treated sheds are great value but require some maintenance to keep them in good condition: shop our exterior wood paint to keep it protected and looking good! Pressure treated wooden sheds are more durable and require slightly less frequent treatment than dip treated.

Wooden sheds can also be customised much easier than other materials. Fancy a new colour? It’s easy to renovate your shed to fit your surroundings. It’s also easy to install shelves and hooks for storing your items, and even decorative items like hanging baskets to really make it yours.

FAQs

How long do wooden garden sheds last?

Wooden sheds are the heroes of the backyard. When treated right, they could last for about 20 to 30 years. It's all about giving them some preservative love and attention!

How do you maintain timber sheds?

First, make sure they aren't sitting in a puddle. Move them to a well-drained location, and if possible, have them on concrete or paving slabs or a purpose-made shed base.

Timber sheds need some love to shield them from the elements. Opt for a good-quality preservative paint or water sealant to keep them looking fresh and protected. And don't forget to give them a little check-up every so often to spot any damaged areas. Clear away any overgrown plants surrounding them and seal up any gaps to keep unwelcome visitors at bay.

Can you paint a wooden shed?

Of course! It's a fun project, but it's more like giving it a fresh makeover. First things first, grab paint for the garden furniture. You want to sand down rough spots to make sure the paint goes nice and smooth. With your paintbrushes ready, enjoy your DIY skill after cleaning it well, and only when it's dry.

Are wooden sheds waterproof?

Wooden sheds can handle some water, but they aren't completely waterproof. If you really want to keep the water out, give them that little extra protection: a water-repellent coating. You also want to ensure the roof is in good shape and has no leaks.

Do you need a shed base?

A shed base is a good idea for keeping everything nice and secure, and a solid base is necessary to house heavier items like bikes and lawn mowers. This helps avoid problems with moisture, which can shorten the shed's life.

What is the difference between wooden, plastic and metal sheds?

Wooden sheds are a classic charm in the garden which are reliable when given the right maintenance. Plastic sheds are almost maintenance-free and durable, but you may want to consider metal sheds for storing heavy or high-value items.
