6 Great Value Sheds That Can Be Yours for Less

Every garden needs a shed, whether it’s for storing gardening tools and lawnmowers or creating a workshop to indulge your hobbies. When it comes to choosing the right shed for you, one of the key factors that will often be at the top of people’s minds is price.

So here are six wooden, plastic and metal sheds from three of our top brands that can be yours for less than you might think!

Kicking off our list is this neat wooden shed from Forest. The 6’ x 4’ Forest 4Life Overlap Pent Wooden Shed is pressure treated and comes with the company’s market-leading 25-year anti-rot guarantee, so it will never need retreating. On top of that, the wood’s FSC-certified, so you can be confident that it’s come from a sustainable source and that purchasing a Forest 4Life shed is helping to support responsible management in the forest industry.

The modular design of the 4Life range gives you the flexibility to choose where to place doors and windows, and makes the shed much easier to assemble than most wooden sheds. The door can be hung with a left or right opening too, so you can choose the best option to perfectly meet your requirements. With other great features like a strong 12mm solid timber floor and 7mm overlap cladding on the walls, the 6’ x 4’ Forest 4Life Overlap Pent Wooden Shed is the smart choice for anyone who wants cost-effective customisation along with a high-quality shed.

If an apex roof and a little more room is more your style, then the 8’ x 6’ Forest 4Life Overlap Apex Wooden Shed is definitely worth considering. This older cousin to the 6’ x 4’ pent version shares many of that shed’s winning features, while offering additional security due to its windowless design and a wider access point thanks to its sturdy double doors.

Both sheds benefit from free delivery to the majority of UK addresses, straight into your garden with all of the packaging removed. There are also optional upgrades including base kits and a professional installation service, making the 8’ x 6’ Forest 4Life Overlap Apex Wooden Shed (and any other shed in the 4Life range), an easy way and affordable way to add valuable garden storage or workshop space that’s been built to last.

Moving from wood to plastic and while the 6’ x 3’ Palram Canopia Grey Skylight Plastic Shed may be the smallest model that we’re going to talk about in this article, it manages to pack a whole host of features into that small form. Chief of which are its 100% UV protected polycarbonate panels, which will never rust or rot and won’t require annual treatment – saving you valuable time and money. These panels are supported by a reinforced, galvanised aluminium frame for a compact shed with impressive durability.

The roof may look a solid dark grey at first glance, but it actually consists of opaque skylight roof panels that allow natural light to penetrate the interior of the shed. Wide double doors and a low threshold provide easy passage for wheelbarrows and lawnmowers. Finally, the shed’s compact size gives you the luxury of being able to tuck it into many corners, even in smaller gardens.

The big brother to our previous entry, the 6’ x 8’ Palram Canopia Grey Skylight Plastic Shed is crafted from the same polycarbonate panels and aluminium frame, but has more than three times the depth. While it will certainly take up more room in your garden than the 6’ x 3’ version, that additional space can be put to good use by providing plenty of room for bulky gardening equipment, workbenches and bikes.

These Palram Canopia sheds come with an impressive 10-year guarantee and are virtually maintenance free to boot. So, there’s no need to worry about needing to re-treat any surfaces or carry out any repairs. Once your shed is safely installed, you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy great-looking garden storage for years to come.

Now it’s time to turn our attention to our metal sheds and it’s here where you’ll find our most affordable option yet. The 6’ x 4’ Yardmaster Pent Metal Shed is sleek, stylish and great value for money. It’s completely constructed from hot-dipped galvanised steel, comes with a 10-year anti-rust guarantee and requires virtually no maintenance. The pent roof means the shed will work particularly well against the wall of your house or a length of fencing. And if all that wasn’t enough, it also has a lovely metallic silver resin finish that will contrast beautifully with the classic greens and browns of a British garden.

If you’re looking for a simple yet high quality, inexpensive yet premium garden shed then you can’t go wrong with this one.

There are a variety of other sheds in the Yardmaster range that we could have featured here, but our second affordable pick is the 10’ x 8’ Yardmaster Green Metal Shed. This shed enjoys the same galvanised steel construction as the 6’ x 4’ version, as well as the 10-year anti-rust guarantee, but the greater dimensions, apex roof and eye-catching green finish are all its own.

Sliding double doors and a low profile make for an easy entrance, while high gables and ventilation along the eaves help with air circulation. There’s no need to worry about re-painting, treatments or a wind-torn felt roof, and the shed’s also weather-resistant, and blister-, crack- and insect-proof. It’s clear to see why the 10’ x 8’ Yardmaster has earned a place on this list!

From wooden, metal and plastic to pent, apex and reverse apex, there’s a shed at Shedstore to meet any requirement and price point. Check out the full range here.
