Garden Sheds

Sheds

Pottering about in the garden is tremendous fun, no matter what the season. With one caveat- great gardening can’t be pulled off with unorganised tools and implements. Storage options are a real must when it comes to creating that perfect landscape, which is why Cuckooland’s garden sheds, planters and drawers are the dream accompaniment to your outdoor paradise.

For one, they’re eternally adaptable with Garden Furniture. Our stands and potting tables can match the earthy brilliance of wooden benches. With a few matching chairs, the look of unity will be inescapable, painting your lawn in gentle colours that’ll compliment neat flowerbeds and shrubbery. When it comes to Outdoor Dining, our beautiful storage solutions will provide a focal point to your outdoor space as you relax in the fresh (sometimes very fresh!) air with family and friends.

Of course, nothing says 'I'm a green-fingered superhero better than a handful of statuesque sheds. You’ll need somewhere to burrow away your Gardening Accessories, right? Well, you’ll find ample storage here in sheds that go with just about any botanical backdrop- no more need to try and hide them away!

Shed FAQs  

Whether you’re a horticulturist with time on your hands, or a social dynamo planning the next lawn party, Cuckooland’s selection guarantee a clutter-free space that’ll look the bee’s knees in lances of golden sunshine.

Still, have a few questions that have taken root? Let’s weed out the most popular ones…

1. Do I need planning permission for a shed?

Almost certainly not as garden buildings are generally considered to be a 'Permitted Development'. However, it's always best to check with your local authority - for example: if the footprint of your shed is greater than 15m2 (161 square foot) or if the shed or greenhouse covers more than half the area of garden or patio area excluding area covered by your house you will need permission. And you will also need permission if you are planning on turning the shed or outside structure into sleeping quarters (but that's a pretty obvious one really!). Height wise all our sheds are fine but if you're planning on building your own shed you will need to keep maximum eave height to 2.5m and if its a dual pitch roof (ridge roof), the maximum overall height is 4 metres (3m for a flat roof).  

2. How should I secure my shed’s foundations?

Don’t worry – we give you a specialised base with our shed purchases; all you require is flat ground for standing. Our flat-based models have been fashioned with pressure treatment that halts the advance of rot, providing you leave enough open space around the bottom. Our assembly team do this anyway and all this info is provided.

3. Is my shed waterproof?

Cuckooland’s manufacturers use felt roofing and anti-damp paintwork to prolong your shed’s health. However, you should treat the wood (or metal, as the case may be) every year with recommended sprays or chemicals.

4. Do the sheds need to be assembled?

Yes, most of our sheds arrive flat packed, with all the instructions you need to assemble at home. Some also include the option for 2-man installation, so if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to bring your garden dreams to life simply call our team below.

5. What kind of tools can it house?

The sheds your oyster here as everything and anything goes (however it's not advisable to keep fireworks next to highly flammable liquids!). To help, Cuckooland has a plethora of potting and planting tools to get your shed store fattened up!

Require more assistance?

In the scheme of things, sheds can pay off big-time, acting as a protector and projector of your garden’s best assets. From tight, reserved designs to those with sloping roofs and separate greenhouse compartments to those with log stores and shelves, there's a shed in our catalogue for everyone.
