Small Sheds
Small sheds are perfect for more modest garden sizes. Still providing ample storage space for gardening tools, toys and other outdoor equipment, our small storage sheds keep your valuables safe without dominating your garden or outdoor space. We have a whole host of styles and sizes available, from pent roofs to apex, in wood, metal, and plastic. Free delivery is also available to most UK mainland postcodes.
Read our Shed Buying Guide, especially “Section 1 – choosing the size” for guidance and information about buying a small but “perfectly formed” shed. To explore our entire range of small sheds, click on the “view details” button or any of the product images below.
What sizes are in the small sheds range?
Our small garden sheds range from 3'x3' to 8'x6' in size.
The most popular sizes of smaller sheds from Shedstore’s collection are:
5’x3’, 5’x4’, 6’x3’, 6’x4’, 7’x5’, 7’x7’ and 8’x6’.
What materials are available?
Our small storage sheds are available in wood, metal, and plastic.
Small wooden sheds
Choose small wooden sheds as a traditional option that will blend in well in most gardens. Shedstore has many wooden garden sheds available, many of which are small sheds.
These range from 3’x5’ to 8’x6’ (the largest small-sized shed available). Even though plastic and metal have emerged, wood is still a very popular choice. Wood as a material generally requires more care, but we recommend buying our dip treated and pressure treated options, which typically have ten to twenty five year anti-rot guarantees.
Customising wooden sheds is much easier than plastic and metal alternatives with shelving, hooks and other customisation being possible with basic carpentry skills. Styling is also versatile with natural wood, varnished, stained, and painted all being popular choices.
Small metal sheds
Choose small metal sheds as a strong and secure option with modern contemporary styling. Shedstore has many metal sheds for sale including many in our small sheds category.
These range from 3’x3’ to 8’x5’ and have many innovative features including anti-rust and advanced security options. Metal requires minimal maintenance; our small metal sheds have generous guarantees ranging from ten to thirty years. Customisation of metal is more difficult, so (unlike wooden sheds) it is difficult to make changes later, therefore it is best to know your absolute requirements at the time of ordering.
Small plastic sheds
Choose small plastic sheds as a low-cost option with contemporary styling. We have a fine selection of plastic sheds available at Shedstore, including many in our small sheds range.
These range from 4’x3’ to 8’x5’ and feature many styles and design innovations including skylights, vents, double doors and many more. Plastic as a material is low maintenance, with occasional wipe-downs being needed, there is no rust, corrosion, rotting or issues with pests. Backed on the majority of our range with a ten year guarantee, plastic sheds are easy to assemble and will last for many years.
What are the advantages of buying small garden sheds?
Here are just a few of the advantages of small storage garden sheds:
- Aesthetic charm – small garden sheds have a certain aesthetic charm, which is not possible (in the same way) with large sheds. They will also not dominate your garden, patio or outdoor living area
- Lower cost – naturally, as these garden sheds are smaller, they are available at a lower price. Look at our cheap sheds range for some lower-cost sheds too
- Minimalist lifestyle – get rid of the clutter through buying a small shed. There is a theory that through buying a smaller shed you will need to plan, organize, and manage your clutter!
- Save space – small garden sheds squeeze into the tightest of spaces. Perhaps consider one of our small corner garden sheds to fill a corner, or maybe a lean to shed as a low-cost extension and/or to maximise space utilisation
What door types are available when buying small storage sheds?
There are various options open to you when buying small storage sheds from Shedstore. Broadly, these sheds can be split into two main options:
- Single doors – a range of single door sheds to gain access to your storage shed
- Double doors – a range of double door sheds to gain wide-entry access to your storage shed
Door design features to lookout for
Additional design features, such as (but not limited to) these are available:
- Double-Z framing – this helps to prevent the door from dropping
- Hanging direction – the door could be hung with a left or right handed opening
- Security features:
- Hasp and staple plate – designed to work with a padlock
- Hinges – these are generally hidden and feature tamper-proof attributes
- Sliding bolt – anti-tamper bolts to prevent break-ins
- Sliding mechanism – if you like doors that slide, some models are available with this feature
Does the felt have to be fitted to the roof after the shed is erected?
Yes, your shed's roof felt should be added after it is erected. Putting shed roof felt on after roof panels are secured ensures the structure is stable and secure and allows for proper alignment. Properly installed roof felt ensures the longevity of your shed or garden building and ensures the contents of your shed stays dry and secure no matter the weather or surrounding environmental circumstances. Make sure the roof is clean and dry before fitting the felt for the best result.
