Of course wooden sheds are also often used as workshops, with your wooden shed offering an extra room away from the house where you can relax or work in peace.

There are also plenty of more exciting ways to use your new wooden shed. Earlier this week I spoke to a customer who is looking at our professional range of wooden sheds. This customer is looking to put a TV and beer fridge in his wooden shed for the ultimate place to relax!

So head to the Wooden Sheds section of the website right now to browse our range of wooden sheds, with wooden sheds available to suit almost any purpose!

Happy New Shed To All

I enjoyed my break from selling sheds over the holiday period, but that’s not to say I’m not excited about selling even more fantastic sheds in the New Year. With fantastic wooden sheds, plastic sheds and metal sheds available, Elbec really is the best place to start your new year with a new shed!

A shed might even be the perfect storage space for all those Christmas decorations you’ll be taking down. Or even better, a new shed might keep you active in the garden after a bit too much Christmas turkey and a few too many New Years drinks!

Of course with the recent weather there is the chance your shed has been blown away! We can’t make a completely weatherproof shed, but we can offer you sturdy and well constructed sheds that will stand up to the weather better than most sheds.

Or maybe you haven’t spent all your Christmas money and a shed would be the perfect choice. After all, as a Christmas present a shed is far too difficult to wrap for you to have it on the day!

Whatever your reason for getting a new garden shed, and whatever you want to store in it, we are sure that you will find the perfect shed for you on the Elbec website.

Buying a Shed during the Holidays

One thing you might not realise about the world of sheds is that many of the shed manufacturers shut down completely during the Christmas break. This means sheds are not built for a couple of weeks, so new shed orders are not started until January.

However, our sales line will be open all weekdays next week, so you can make sure your shed is top of the queue when our shed suppliers start up production again. The hours will be slightly reduced, so check the website for opening times before you call to buy your shed!

The other great reason to buy a shed over the Christmas period is that many of our high quality sheds are currently heavily discounted, meaning you can get a great value for money shed if you order today.

So why not give our sales team a call as soon as possible, they know everything you could need to know about sheds and you won’t find a friendlier sales team at any other retailer of sheds.

Here at Elbec we offer a full range of wooden sheds, metal sheds and plastic sheds, so you can be sure to find a great shed for you. If you want something even more special than an Elbec shed, we also have a fantastic range of Shire log cabin!

Brian Blessed and his Log Cabin

Fern Briton Meets… on Sunday featured not only Brian Blessed, but also a log cabin! Now I have no idea where he bought the log cabin from (although it was a similarly high quality building to a Shire log cabin), but it does show what a fantastic and versatile garden building the log cabin is.

When you consider that all the equipment required for filming easily fitted inside the log cabin, you realise just how spacious log cabins are. Also the fact that you can happily sit inside a log cabin and have as chat, any time of the year show just how warm and comfortable log cabins stay.

Our Shire log cabin are certainly spacious and warm all year round, just look at our blog about our visit to a log cabin two weeks ago! You might not be planning any televised interviews in your log cabin, but a garden log cabin is such a versatile building that it will suit almost any purpose.

So maybe you should put a log cabin on your Christmas list, make a New Year’s resolution to build your own log cabin or just plain decide that a log cabin is just what’s missing from your garden! Whatever the reason, you will find the perfect log cabin here at Elbec!

Coloured Fencing Available Now.

We’ve added lots of coloured fencing panels to the website. Coloured fencing allows you to add a colourful border to your garden with a high quality fencing panel!

There are five fantastic colours of coloured fencing available, and it is possible to get coloured fencing posts and post caps as well as coloured fencing panels. This allows you to have one beautiful colour of garden fence, or to break it up with different coloured posts between your coloured fencing panels.

The range of colours available for fencing has been specially selected with gardens in mind to ensure that our coloured fencing provides a stunning background for any garden.

Coloured fencing saves plenty of time, as it will not need any treatment from you. Meaning that once your coloured fencing is erected, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy it.

With a wide range of styles of panel in our coloured fencing range, all of which are pressure treated, you will find it easy to choose the ideal coloured fencing for your garden.

So if high quality coloured fencing sounds ideal for your garden, why not head over to the coloured fencing section of the website now and pick up your perfect coloured fencing?

It’s suddenly very windy, which garden fencing panel is the solution?

Wind is the enemy of garden fencing, of all garden buildings in fact, but particularly garden fencing. I’ll be honest, I had a good chuckle at the reporter on the news at lunchtime trying to report while being buffeted by the wind, but when you sell garden fencing the wind is no laughing matter.

We have a wide range of different garden fencing panels available, and there are many factors to consider when choosing the right one for you, but today let’s look at which garden fencing is best equipped to cope with high winds.

Our strongest garden fencing is our Grange Closeboard garden fencing. This garden fencing panel will not let the wind through, but plenty of timber is used in its construction, making it very durable garden fencing.

My favourite solution would probably be the Grange Gawsworth garden fencing. This garden fencing ’s open slatted design will allow the wind through, and it is also pressure treated which means it will last well when faced with wet and damp conditions.

Also, a type of garden fencing you might not have even considered is metal garden fencing. Our Wenlock and Montford designs of metal garden fencing will let the wind through, while also being very strong.

So if the wind is playing havoc with your garden fencing, maybe it is time to switch to metal garden fencing for that extra stability. But if you can’t bear the thought of changing from wooden garden fencing, the Grange Closeboard and Gawsworth garden fencing panels are well worth a look.

Our Shire Log Cabins keep out the winter chill!

Today I got the pleasure of leaving the office to visit a customer who bought a Shire log cabin from us. The weather had gotten cold and wet, so I wasn’t too enthusiastic about pottering around looking at a log cabin!

Indeed standing outside in a garden looking at the log cabin was rather chilly, but once we stepped inside I realised quite how pleasant a Shire log cabin can be! Without any kind of heater inside, the log cabin stayed warm and dry. It was easy to see that a log cabin can be used year round, not just in warm weather.

With plenty of space inside (and some pleasant decoration from the customer), the log cabin would have been a great place to spend a whole day. Sadly I didn’t get to spend all day, but the weather did pick up enough for me to appreciate the outside of the log cabin. Shire’s log cabins are sturdy and secure, while looking great in any garden.

If I had a simpler garden (sadly it’s on a massive slope), I would definitely go for a Shire log cabin. Shire offer such a wide range of sizes of log cabins that they will fit in practically any garden, and there is plenty of choice of log size to ensure your log cabin stays nice and warm.

So it was nice to see a great log cabin find a happy home, even if it did make me want my own log cabin. Of course if you have a suitable garden, you can head over to the log cabins section of the website right and find yourself a log cabin that will make me envious too!

Wooden Sheds: The Healthy Man’s Choice

You may have noticed wooden sheds mentioned in smaller pieces of news recently (I won’t try and pretend wooden sheds are the nation’s number one concern, although they should be!). Having written a blog on the health benefits of wooden sheds, I would have to say we were then surprised to see the big wooden sheds story making the newspapers and even Breakfast on the BBC!

This isn’t to say we don’t think wooden sheds are important, but since we sell wooden sheds we’re probably biased! So what is it about this story that has shot the wooden shed to prominence?

I think there are two things, health now constantly gets plenty of coverage and there is something inherently British about the wooden shed. Even those who have never owned a wooden shed of their own seem to consider the wooden shed a heart-warming reminder of their own youth. Their own house might not have had a wooden shed, but their granddad or neighbour’s wooden shed would have been a magical and mysterious place.

On the health side of things, does a wooden shed help you live longer? While I think a wooden shed offers a great place to spend your time, I have my doubts; people who potter around doing things in their wooden sheds would probably still potter around doing things if they didn’t have a wooden shed. We certainly won’t be marketing our wooden sheds as lifesavers, or expecting NHS funding!

I would say the big reason to have a wooden shed is happiness. A wooden garden shed is a great place to spend your time, and more important than a living a long life is living a good one!
