Sheds

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.
