Some sheds are expressly designed and marketed as security sheds, while others offer excellent levels of security as part of an all-round high-quality build.
If you want an exceptionally secure shed, some of the features you should look for are a robust structure, a strong lock or padlock fixing, an absence of accessible windows, security bolts and hidden hinges.
This list is by no means exhaustive and different manufacturers frequently develop new ways of ensuring their sheds offer high levels of security.
These are 5 of our favourite market-leading security sheds. Read on to find out why…

Garden seating has changed immeasurably from the days when most people used to relax outdoors on a pair of rusty, old deckchairs.
Nowadays, there are a whole host of beautifully designed outdoor seats available, suitable for almost any occasion.
Here at Shedstore, we believe that garden seating should be as well-made and stylish as the furniture in our lounges or dining rooms, so we strive to offer our customers the very best outdoor furniture on the market.

Hello August!
The key tasks for an organised, growing, healthy garden for this month are:
1. Water all containers
Plants growing in containers get thirsty. Consider fitting micro irrigation to your pots if you are going away on holiday for a fortnight (only if your neighbours can’t do your watering tasks!) and definitely group pots together in a shadier part of the garden. Even sun lovers will put up with a little bit of shade if it means less stress and lots of water from a handy hosepipe or watering can.
Water the surface of the compost and DO NOT spray over the foliage.
2. Trim conifer hedges
Now is a great time to trim up

This does not mean paying the high costs of an electrician laying cables under the lawn and wiring the outdoor building up to the mains. Instead, the easiest and most cost effective choice is to use solar power in garden buildings.
Here we take a look at the amazing solar technology that makes it easy to add power to a shed or other external building without any specialist skills and without increasing electricity bills.

A mild winter + wet spring + a ban on a certain type of slug pellet = slug invasion!
New Ban on Slug Pellets
Slugs are on the move and, for the sake of wildlife, one weapon in the shed is being phased out. Slug pellets containing metaldehyde will no longer be legal after next year. Gardeners need to think about alternatives, and to act now. The rasping teeth of slugs are already chewing at your new shoots.
A slug pellet based on ferrous phosphate is still OK for use in the garden. These still kill slugs but instead of dying on top
