Steel garden shed

Steel Garden Sheds

The tools, lawnmowers, barbecues, paints, bikes and everything else that may be treasured in your back garden without protection, maybe you have a garage but even that's cluttered with even more tools and household items so what now?

We'll you'd want to get a shed of course! But what type of shed? then you ask how big? will i want windows? flooring? extra security? It's never easy to just buy a 'shed' any more... you'll want to ensure you're getting the right shed for the right price...

Our Top Tips when buying a Garden Shed 1. Determine how much space you actually need and how valuable the items are which are going in, this first step will help you decide on whether you need a wooden shed or steel shed as well as size.

2. Ensure the grounds you're looking to place the shed on are level, if this ain't the case then you may want to look at getting a shed with floor frames built on.

3. Make sure the grounds and surrounding area won't be flooded easily, you don't want 'pool areas' around the shed.

4. Consider the visibility and colour of the garden shed but also the surrounding aesthetics and how each colour will look perfectly.

5. How safe is your area? This is something to take into consideration as the security of the shed is most important, you don't wish to have thieves easily getting into the shed at any point.

6. Final tip, make sure that when you're looking to buy a garden shed that you're purchasing from a proper retailer/dealer, this is because sheds that are produced in other countries are often built

in terms of material/design and engineered to comply with their countries standards (weather wise).

Using your garden shed to its potential It is always essential to keep space in mind at all times, when using your shed to its potential you must get the maximum capacity and for this reason floor space is one of the first to diminish.

Sheds should include hooks, cabinets and nice solid shelving systems - you don't want anything falling down or breaking. Making sure you have easy access at all times as getting them bikes, lawnmowers and garden tools out all the time can be tricky business as it is.

Foundation Flooring, how important?

This all depends upon the initial size of your shed and the construction as there's so many different foundation options available with the main options being floor framing kits, cushed stone, timber and concrete tiles.

Wooden Floor Kits The wooden flooring kits are one alternative to the framing kit, if you wish to use wooden flooring you must ensure that the area in which it'll be placed has low risk of wood rot damage and insects.

Concrete Foundation Maybe one of the best foundations to have on a shed due to the fact it cannot be damaged as easily, there's no rot and minimal maintenance... the only problem with laying a concrete flooring is the fact that the foundation and the grounds on which it rests on must be completely flat which could take time - you don't wish to have a stump in the middle of your shed now would you?

Flooring Frame Kits Want an easy, cost effective and efficient alternative to laying concrete slabs or trying to flattern the uneven surfaces? Flooring frames are the option then as flooring kits can help with providing flexibility when choosing what flooring surfaces you need or if you need to just set up a semipermanent solution.

I hope this post has helped you consider other elements and options you might need to think about when choosing the ideal garden shed.

Why have a steel garden workshop?

Lifelong Steel Sheds provide steel garden workshops, an outbuilding that is becoming a popular choice of workshop.

But why? Firstly, steel workshops present many advantages and, not to mention, are ecofriendly! See the many benefits of a steel garden workshop below.

Quality Steel is a quality building material; using it to build a workshop is beneficial as it has a high strength to weight ratio that goes beyond any other building material. Steel, like other metals, will rarely crack, expand, shrink, twist or warp which is why it is fabricated to a 'true', square shape and will remain in that shape throughout its lifetime. Thus sparing you the expense of needing many repairs.

Again, steel won't suffer from the growth of mold or mildew, unlike many wooden garden workshops. Also, it is unlikely that a steel workshop will suffer from rodents or termites either.

Safe and secure Any good workshop should be made of a non-combustible material - something that steel will meet all of the targets of. Steel can withstand harsh environments and climates as it's incredibly durable. Lightning is no issue for the material, also, the steel frames lessen the possibility of secondary fires, explosions or personal injuries as a steel garden workshops generally have several conductive paths to the ground.

Environmentally friendly

This benefit is among the most appealing as steel is 100% recyclable. Did you know that almost two-thirds of steel frames are recycled?

Variety Another reason of their popularity is the variety of steel buildings that are available. The workshop that you decide to take will all the same suit your needs and save you money in process.

Many steel garden workshops are completely customisable and can be tailored for your needs.
