Description

What makes this 4 x 3 (1.20m x 0.91m) shed suitable for small gardens?

This compact, windowless shed features a practical design that maximises internal wall space, letting you store tools securely in a small footprint. The 4 x 3 (1.20m x 0.91m) dimensions ensure the structure fits neatly into tight corners or narrow alleyways. Built with robust 34mm x 34mm framing, the building provides reliable stability for everyday garden use.

How do the included shelves improve your storage capacity?

The integrated shelving in this Shire Overlap Shed provides immediate vertical storage, letting you organise smaller gardening accessories without sacrificing floor space. By utilising the wall area, you keep the 9mm OSB floor completely clear for heavier, bulky equipment. This practical addition means less struggle when locating specific hand tools, seeds, or plant pots.

How do the double doors and apex roof improve accessibility?

The double doors and 8mm OSB apex roof on this timber shed provide generous access and increased headroom, making it easier to move equipment. Without the restriction of a single entrance, you can comfortably reach items stored on the included shelves or resting on the floor. The traditional apex roof shape also keeps taller gardening supplies protected and easy to retrieve.

How does the 7mm overlap cladding protect your belongings?

The 7mm overlap cladding on this timber shed helps resist wind and rain, allowing water to run off the exterior to protect your contents. Crafted from sustainably sourced timber, the overlapping wall boards accommodate natural movement throughout the changing seasons, ensuring the structure remains intact. Furthermore, the solid walls of this windowless design defend against prying eyes, keeping your gardening supplies completely secure.

Optional Shed Base:

Installing a garden shed on soil or grass isn't ideal, but this base allows it. Use a heavy-duty weed membrane underneath. This quick and easy solution provides a solid base without the cost of concrete or slabs. Made from 44mm x 70mm pressure-treated wood with deep preservative penetration, the base is suitable for lawns or firm soil. Adjustable base spikes (up to 100mm) are included. Simply screw the timbers and attach spikes for a sturdy, elevated base that keeps damp away. Order this base from the 'Choose Additional Options' section above.

Make the Most of Your Shed:

Transform this windowless shed into a highly organised hub for your valuable garden tools right from the start. By utilising the included shelves, you can neatly arrange small hand tools, potting supplies, and fertilisers, keeping the 9mm OSB floor clear for heavier items like bags of compost or lawnmowers.

Alternatively, use the accessible double doors and increased height of the apex roof to create a dedicated shelter for bulky outdoor equipment. It serves as an excellent space for storing folding garden furniture or barbecues securely during the winter months, ensuring they remain protected while smaller accessories sit safely on the shelving above.

Garden Shed Aftercare:

The shed's timbers have been dip-treated to protect them during transit. You must apply a preservative and waterproofing topcoat immediately after installation. This treatment, followed by consistent annual treatment, will maintain the high-quality finish and is a requirement of the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A one-year manufacturer's warranty is included as standard.

To treat the shed, elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best paint colour to add your personalised finish.  We’ve also included popular colours and a Wood Preserver+ for use underneath your colour choice in the options section.

Unfortunately we will not be able to go through your property. Deliveries are hand-balled off by the driver.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.
