Security for Sheds – the 5 Best Security Sheds for Sale [UPDATED]

1)   7’x5’ Traditional Pent Security Wooden Garden Shed

Built from 12mm tongue and groove cladding, on a robust 38mm x 50mm frame, this security shed is impeccably designed and built to last.

The floor and roof are also made from premium tongue and groove, the latter including a felt covering to keep out the rain. 

The fully framed single door is ledged and braced, includes zinc fittings, and has a security-bolted padlock protector, which will deter thieves.

The strip of small windows provides natural light but, as it is placed high on the structure, will never compromise security. This window positioning lets light in but helps keep the contents hidden from prying eyes.

This particular security shed comes in a range of sizes, from 6’x4’ to 12’x8’. A variety of optional upgrades can be purchased too.

2)   10’x13’ Yardmaster Metal Shed

Constructed from hot-dipped galvanised steel, with a unique 7 layers of protection and a 15-year anti-rust guarantee, this metal shed just oozes strength.

A traditional apex roof and baked-on green paint finish ensure it doesn’t just boast brawn, but beauty too.

For security, this shed is designed without windows to discourage unwanted attention.

However, if anybody, bar the keyholder, does attempt to gain entry, the padlockable double doors are fitted with anti-tamper bolts. Most thieves are opportunists who look for easy wins, so hiding valuables from view and securing shed contents is crucial.

Available in a range of sizes, from 6’x4’ to 10’x13’, and with or without a floor support kit, it’s easy to see why this metal garden shed is so popular.

3)   6’x8’ Palram Grey Skylight Plastic Shed

Whoever says that plastic sheds can’t be security sheds clearly hasn’t seen this one.

Although it resembles a regular plastic shed when flat-packed, upon assembly it is virtually indestructible.

Constructed from high-impact polycarbonate panels, supported by a reinforced aluminium frame, this security shed will never rot or rust, so there’s no chance of any weak points developing over time.

Backed by a 10-year guarantee, this tough plastic shed also features skylight panels to facilitate natural light without compromising security, as well as unbreakable double doors with a secure padlock fixing.

We stock models in green and grey, as well as in sizes ranging from 6’x3’ to 11’x13’.

4)   6' x 10' Shire Premium Security Apex Wooden Garden Shed

This shed provides robust garden storage with its durable 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding and strong 44mm² frame. The shed features a weatherproof felt-covered apex roof, a securely lockable door with a hidden hinge, and has four high-level windows that provide privacy and light without ever compromising security.

The 6' x 10' Shire Premium Security Apex Wooden Garden Shed is constructed from FSC®-certified timber. This shed emphasises sustainability and durability. It includes all necessary fixings for easy assembly. A 10-year anti-rot guarantee supports the shed's longevity, which is dependent on annual wood preservative retreatments. Available in other sizes too, this premium shed ensures efficient, secure storage for garden tools and equipment, giving you total peace of mind!

5)   5’x7’ Asgard Centurion Police Approved Security Metal Shed

There are security sheds and then there are MAXIMUM SECURITY sheds, and this particular model is unquestionably up there with the very best.

This metal shed is approved by the police, insurance companies, the UK Locksmiths Association, and the Loss Prevention Certification Board for its outstanding level of security. It is an ideal garden building for those who need to ensure the protection of valuable items stored inside.

Storing a motorbike in an Asgard shed can result in lower insurance premiums. It is, however, important to check your home insurance policy to understand what is covered and ensure compliance with the policy requirements.

The galvanised steel panels are reinforced by thick box sections on and around the double doors, in order to prevent forced entry, while an unbeatable 3-point locking system includes bars that secure the top and bottom areas of the doors.

Nobody breaks into an Asgard metal shed.

Tips to buy the most secure shed available

When choosing a secure shed, there are several factors to consider ensuring your belongings are safe. It is important to keep valuable equipment such as power tools, bikes and garden furniture safe from theft and weather damage. Look for sheds with robust locking mechanisms and durable materials that can withstand attempts at forced entry.

Consider the type of material used in the construction of the shed. Metal sheds, for example, offer a higher level of security compared to wooden ones. Additionally, the location of the shed in your garden will impact its security. Placing it in a well-lit area is likely to deter potential thieves.

Finally, think about the overall design and features of the shed. Windows can be a weak point, so if you choose a shed with windows, ensure they are made from toughened glass or have security bars.
