Description
This Globel storage unit is a testament to functional design, combining the strength of hot-dipped galvanised steel with a classic green finish. The exterior is treated with a specialised multi-layered paint system designed to resist UV fading and scratches, ensuring the shed maintains its professional appearance in both urban and rural environments. Unlike traditional wooden structures, this metal alternative will not rot, warp, or crack, eliminating the need for periodic painting or chemical treatments.
Strategic door placement is a key feature of this model, with the double sliding doors situated on the long 8ft front. This configuration provides a remarkably wide opening, making the interior far more accessible than standard narrow-door sheds. Whether you are storing wide-handle lawnmowers, large garden furniture sets, or long timber offcuts, the ultra-smooth track system ensures effortless entry and exit.
The pent roof is sloped to promote efficient water drainage, which is vital for preventing standing water and protecting the steel's structural integrity. This design also features a taller internal ridge, providing extra headroom for the user and more vertical space for storing tall items such as parasols or rakes. Security remains a priority; the windowless panels keep your property out of sight, and the fire-retardant construction makes it a safe choice for locations where non-combustible materials are a requirement.
Assembly is designed to be straightforward, utilising precision-drilled components and high-quality hardware. Whether positioned against a boundary fence or used as a standalone unit in a more exposed area, this 8 x 4 shed represents a dependable, long-term storage solution for any homeowner.

What is Hot Dipped Galvanised:
Hot-dip galvanising is a proven process that protects steel from corrosion by coating it with a thick zinc layer. The raw steel is submerged in molten zinc, which forms a strong metallurgical bond with the surface. This durable zinc layer acts as a barrier, shielding the steel from moisture and oxygen, both primary causes of rust.
Unlike simple painted finishes, the hot-dip galvanised coating protects even if the surface is scratched. It’s not just a coating—it’s a defence mechanism. For the Globel sheds and garages, this process begins with an unpainted steel base, known as the Base Metal Thickness (BMT), typically at 0.25mm. Once galvanised and fabricated, the components are powder-coated, resulting in a final thickness of approximately 0.3mm for added strength and resilience.
Benefits of Hot-Dip Galvanising:
Hot-dip galvanising offers long-term protection and exceptional durability, making it ideal for outdoor buildings like sheds, garages, and storage boxes that must withstand harsh weather year-round. Here are the key benefits:
- Corrosion Resistance – The thick zinc coating prevents rust by sealing the steel from air and moisture. Even scratched surfaces remain protected.
- Long-Lasting Finish – The steel panels are powder-coated after fabrication, ensuring that even edges, holes, and cut surfaces are sealed against corrosion.
- Improved Colour Consistency – Switching from pre-coloured steel to post-fabrication powder coating ensures a uniform, rich finish with fewer imperfections.
- Increased Durability – Powder coating enhances the weather resistance of the galvanised surface, extending the structure's lifespan.
- Smooth Edges and Neat Appearance – The coated edges provide a cleaner, more refined finish, reducing the risk of flaking or premature wear.
This dual protection system, hot-dip galvanising followed by powder coating, results in a shed that’s strong, secure, stylish, and built to last.
Make the Most of Your Metal Shed
The elongated 8ft width, combined with the shallow 4ft depth, makes this shed an ideal candidate for placement in narrow passages or alongside house walls. It functions perfectly as a dedicated workshop for garden enthusiasts, where the wide doors can be thrown open to provide plenty of light and air while you work on potting or minor repairs. By utilising the internal height, you can install heavy-duty shelving along the back wall to keep smaller hand tools and fertilisers organised and out of reach.
For those living in areas with stricter safety standards, such as holiday parks or allotments, the fire-retardant steel provides the necessary peace of mind without compromising on style. Its heritage green hue allows it to sit unobtrusively against a hedge or fence line, making it a subtle addition to a well-kept lawn. It is a particularly effective space for seasonal storage, allowing you to safely stow away patio heaters and barbecue equipment during the winter months, confident that the ventilated gables are working to help resist moisture ingress.
