Sheds

Garden sheds are incredibly popular garden storage options throughout the majority of UK properties. Whether you have a shed in your garden or on an allotment, they provide much-needed storage and are available from Howarth in a wide variety of sizes and styles including apex or pent roofing, and shiplap or overlap structures.

Garden storage shed

Garden storage sheds can be used for storing many things that you wouldn’t want to have inside your home including lawn mowers, garden furniture, and gardening tools. They can also be used as an outdoor home office or workshop.
Small garden storage sheds are ideal for garden tool storage, spare planting pots, and other gardening equipment.
Large garden sheds are perfect for use as an inexpensive extension to your home, such as a gym, office, or place to relax.

Garden shed construction explained

Overlap
Overlap sheds are made using rough-sawn timber boards that are overlapped lengthways so that they run horizontally around the shed, sloping a little to allow water to run off efficiently.

Tongue & Groove
Slotting snuggly together, tongue & groove timber boards are tight fitting without gaps to help protect the interior of your shed from both wind and rain.

Shiplap
Shiplap is a combination of overlap and tongue & groove constructions. It interlocks like tongue & groove, however, is also designed to slant slightly similarly to overlap to encourage easy water runoff.

Treatments Explained

Dip Treated
When a shed is referred to as dip-treated, the timber boards have been dipped into an anti-fungal solution to provide short term protection.

Pressure Treated
Pressure treated timber has the anti-fungal treatment pushed into the wood through pressure, providing a longer-term protection.

With all timber products we recommend regular treatment to keep them in excellent condition and lengthen their lifespan. Shop our garden shed and treatment options on our website or pop into branch for more info and advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Garden Shed Roof Options – What is the difference between a Pent and Apex Shed?
Pent and Apex are popular shapes and designs of the roof of a garden shed. A pent shed roof has the peak height at one side of the structure with a single slope down from it, whereas the peak of an apex shed is in the centre of the roof with a downward slope from both sides. The roofing style that you choose will often come down to taste, however the most popular style is apex roofing which is a traditional style. Pent roof sheds are often chosen if the shed is to be located against the wall of your home or garage. If you intend to spend time standing upright inside your garden shed, an apex roof may be more appropriate as the centre peak allows for more headroom. The roof space made available by the design of the apex roof also offers extra storage for awkward items such as fishing rods and long-handled tools.
How close can a shed be to a fence?
It needs to sit at least two metres from the boundary of a property, such as a fence or a wall.
Can you put a shed on gravel?
Lawn, gravel or dirt are not suitable bases.
Can you put a shed on paving slabs?
Yes, you can put a shed on paving slabs.
How much is a shed?
For 6ft x 4ft budget sheds on a simple slab base, the material would cost approximately £500 and £200 in labour costs. For an 8ft x 6ft shed on a slab base, it would cost on average £550 in materials and £300 in labour. For a larger shed at 12ft x 8ft shed on a concrete base, it would cost approximately £650 in material and £450 in labour.
How can I price & purchase a Shed or Summerhouse?
As a dealer, we can assist you in selecting the finest shed for your needs from our vast selection.
What are the sheds treated with?
We apply a foundation layer of water-based Brown treatment where treatment is required.
Why aren't the sheds tanalised?
We believe that tanalised or pressure treated sheds are frequently portrayed as being maintenance-free, while in our opinion, the best and only correct way to preserve a shed in excellent shape is to apply a regular layer of treatment. Although pressure treatment is required for timber that will be placed in the ground, many in the shed industry feel that it can cause greater shrinkage and cracking than would otherwise occur. If left untreated, any tanalised shed would quickly become an eyesore, appearing drab and unkempt; it will also be more prone to leak in rainy conditions.
Do you use chipboard on floors and roofs?
We use tongue and groove boards, with the exception of the Cottage, which has solid close-boarded timber.
How long will delivery take?
Delivery times vary based on the season, so please order ahead of time. Please also allow more time during the spring and summer months; your shop will advise you on the approximate lead time.
Will my shed come with felt?
Yes, we provide felt, glass, fixings, trimmings, and other components as required.
Can you assemble my shed?
As a merchant, we can offer assembly service.
What do I need to put the shed on to?
To support the shed floor, you'll need a sturdy, flat, level base.
How often do I have to treat my shed?
If the shed was factory treated, we recommend re-treating it within 6 months and then yearly after that. If left untreated, it must be treated as soon as possible. Some models' hardwood doors and windows should be treated as soon as possible with a high-quality solution, such as a Sadolin product.
What should I use to treat my shed?
As previously stated, Sadolin provides certain high-quality materials that we recommend for wooden doors and windows but may also be used throughout the shed. We do not recommend clear therapy.
Can you make a shed to my requirements?
Some models are customisable. We've included information on various choices on each product page, but if you don't find what you're looking for, you may contact us to discuss some options, or you can construct your own using the Shed Designer. We are unable to provide made-to-order unusually shaped constructions.
Are the cladding and framing sizes quoted the finished size after machining?
: Yes, we often quote sizes before machining, so it is important to check.
Which way will the floor joists run on my shed?
It varies according on size and model. Floor plans are available on this page, but if it is important, please double-check and mention on the order that they must correspond to the specified direction, as they are subject to change.
Do you use Redwood or Whitewood?
We use both, but only of a specific grade and from sustainable sources.
Will I need planning permission?
Larger / higher buildings may require planning approval depending on size and location; please check with your local council if uncertain. If required, we may be able to lower some structures to avoid the need for planning approval. It is the customer's obligation to determine whether or not planning is necessary.
