      Frequently asked questions

      What size small garden shed do I need?

      Start by measuring the space available and the largest items you want to store. Allow room to move equipment through the doorway and access it once inside. Compare the shed’s width, depth, internal height and door opening, and check whether the quoted dimensions include roof overhangs.

      Can I store a bike or lawnmower in a small garden shed?

      Yes, provided the model has enough usable internal space and a suitable door opening. Measure your bike or lawnmower before choosing a shed, including handlebars and any parts that extend beyond its main frame. Allow extra room to take it in and out without moving everything else.

      Does a small garden shed include a floor?

      Most of our sheds do not include a floor. We do provide floor plan which provide info on timber spec and quantity, so customer can easily souce timber locally. A base frame is not the same as a finished floor. Follow the model’s instructions for base preparation and anchoring.

      How much clearance should I leave around a small shed?

      Allow enough space for assembly, roof overhangs, maintenance and opening the doors fully. Also consider the path you will use to move bikes, bins or garden equipment in and out. Clearance requirements vary by model, so check the installation instructions before preparing your site.

      What is the difference between a low storage shed and a walk-in shed?

      A low storage shed can suit bikes, bins and other items that do not require standing room. A walk-in shed offers more height for accessing equipment, storing long-handled tools and organising shelving. Check the wall height and doorway height, as the peak roof height alone does not tell you how much headroom you will have.

      Can a small garden shed fit beside a fence or in a narrow side yard?

      A shallow or narrow shed may suit these spaces. Measure the available width and depth, allowing for roof overhangs, door movement and installation access. Check that the location meets the model’s installation requirements and any applicable local placement rules.

      Choosing a small garden shed

      A small garden shed can give tools and outdoor equipment a dedicated home without taking up too much of your backyard. Start by measuring your available space, then compare the shed’s width, depth and height. Check whether the listed measurements describe the base or the overall structure, including any roof overhang.

      Match the shed to what you need to store

      For hand tools, pots and gardening supplies, a shallow shed may provide enough room. Bikes, lawnmowers and larger equipment need more careful planning. Measure your largest items and allow space to move them through the doorway, rather than choosing by floor area alone.

      Low storage sheds can suit items that do not require standing room. If you want to step inside, organise shelving or store long-handled tools upright, compare the wall height and doorway height as well as the footprint.

      Plan access and installation

      Leave room to open the doors and reach your stored items comfortably. A narrow shed can be useful beside a fence or along a side passage, provided there is enough clearance for assembly and maintenance.

      Before ordering, check the model’s requirements for a level base, anchoring and any flooring supplied separately. These details vary between sheds, so review the individual product specifications before preparing your site.
