The 12 x 6 wooden sheds are the ideal size garden building for storage and use as a workshop. There are a range of 12 x 6 sheds available; tongue and groove is a method of cladding where 12mm panels interlock to create a strong structure, it is are robust and reliable by reducing the risk of water infiltration. Tongue and groove sheds are slightly more expensive than the overlap range, although it’s definitely worth the investment if you are looking for a robust and long lasting building. The other cladding option is our overlap range which is inexpensive, made with panels overlapped horizontally and secured to vertical bearers. Many of our sheds floor and roofs are constructed using 10mm solid sheet board (OSB), which is stripped timber compacted with resin. However some of our premier ranges are tongue and groove throughout which are the most robust of our 12 x 6 sheds. Pressure treated products have intense liquid preservative stained into the wood to protect against rot, wear and tear. Pre-treated products are warehouse protected for approximately 6 weeks and treatment is required once the shed is erected. Wood treatment can be purchased from most DIY stores; it is available in a variety of colours to add decor and a personal touch to your shed. 12ft x 6ft sheds can come with an apex roof which is a pointed roof with two panels that meet in the centre, or a pent roof which is a flat sloped roof. The choice you make on the roof style is completely personal preference as neither have significant pros and cons. Our 12 x 6 sheds are available with windows or without, sheds with styrene glazed windows are great as a workshop, providing natural light to complete tasks and find belongings with ease, without the need to install electric lighting. Alternatively, a windowless shed may be seen as more secure as it prevents anyone from seeing your storage. 12 x 6 sheds can have a single door; ideal if the building is used as a craft workshop or storage area for small items. On the other hand double doors are great for accessing larger items such as furniture and lawn mowers. It is essential that 12 x 6 sheds are installed on a solid level base that is preferably 1ft larger than the shed itself. There are a few options of bases; the most common being a concrete or paved area. A relatively new option is the Ecobase, a quick and easy to assemble grid system that provides a firm, well drained foundation for the shed. Pebbles or grass are not a suitable base for your shed, if you have any queries regarding bases then please do not hesitate to contact us. The 12 x 6 sheds have pressure treated floor bearers to raise the shed slightly off the floor base, this prevents the sheds from getting water damaged.
12ft x 6ft sheds are spacious storage units which will be the perfect addition to your garden. It is a traditional English shed that’s attractive and fitting to the natural environment, and is also versatile enough to be adapted to suit your garden. Wood treatment is available from most DIY stores and can be purchased in a variety of colours to add a personal touch to your shed. Your shed can even be decorated with patterns for additional uniqueness. Depending on your intended use of the shed your may wish to install electricity in order for you to use a fridge freezer for example. Electricity might also be needed in a workshop or office to power electric tools, lighting and heating. Attaching a decking can create a social area for a dining or lounge space and extend your home into the garden. Alternatively, the 12 x 6 sheds can be solely used for storing garden essentials such as lawn mowers, garden furniture and tools. Tongue and groove sheds are more suitable to use as a room because the interlocking panels keep in the warmth. Whereas the overlap cladding would most probably only be suitable for storage. Fixing shelves and bracing to the interior organise your storage and effectively utilise the space, for example large wall hooks to hang bikes. Adding guttering and a water-but expand the uses of the shed, advantages of this is recycling water to use for irrigation and prevent water damage surrounding the structure. We suggest that you take precautions to secure and protect your shed for peace of mind; you can simply attach a pad bolt or take security further by adding a lock and key or alarm.

Really pleased with quality and price and delivery. Thank you for everything.
Good value products. I bought one metal shed from them and was so impressed I bought a second one. Both excellent products and easy to build myself. Just be aware of 'lead times' as some products do take up to a month to be delivered.
Great product , good value and easy instructions
My 6X4 shed was delivered as scheduled and I was able to select my delivery time. I had a couple of queries in advance of the delivery and the customer service was good. The shed is good value for money though the instructions were poor. The fitting of the window had to be improvised but manageable; the roof of the shed had a very thin edge to be fixed to and there was almost nothing for the nails to go into. Still, 2 years on, the shed is still standing and has been a great asset to my garden. I had to hammer the nails in around the roof edge earlier this year after heavy winds almost pulled them away but otherwise all good for the price I paid.
