If you have big plans for your garden and would like to make it more appealing and functional, you may have already thought of putting up a garden shed. But whilst there are various materials for garden sheds out there, including PVC, concrete, and even steel, a wooden or timber garden shed may be your best choice. Timber garden sheds are a classic and iconic element in the English garden, but they aren't just there for aesthetic appeal – they can serve as a functional storage area to keep you more organised. But they can serve more than this purpose, besides. So do you want to improve your garden's appeal and its functionality? Here’s why a timber garden shed works best.
They come with easy assembly
Compared to other materials, which may take days to set up, a wooden or timber garden shed comes with easy assembly. If you have help from another person or two, you can install your timber garden shed in less than a day. This is particularly true if you opt for a garden shed that's already pre-built, like the garden sheds available from a reputable supplier like Timberdise. In most cases, all you need are some essential tools like screwdrivers and hammers, and you're good to go. Most wooden sheds will also come with instruction manuals for assembly, making the process much easier, and you'll have your timber garden shed in no time.
What's more, compared to metal or plastic garden sheds, the parts of a timber garden shed are also easily replaced. If one panel is damaged, for instance, there's no problem looking for the part and replacing it, unlike metal or plastic, where you are likely required to replace a whole portion or wall.
They are attractive and appealing
Everyone can agree that wooden or timber garden sheds have their classic appeal, and as already mentioned, they are an iconic element in the quintessential English garden. The most outstanding aspect about timber garden sheds is that they can seamlessly blend in with the natural environment, and they can even accentuate your garden's overall theme. You can also stain or paint your wooden shed to match your garden's design, and if you are thinking of using your garden shed for some other purpose – say, as a place where you can relax or get creative – wood is the best choice for its thermal properties.
You don’t need much planning permission
If you try building a metal or concrete storage shed in your garden, you may need to ask for planning permission because it is considered an entirely different structure. But when you go for a wooden shed, you may not need much planning permission because it doesn't come with a huge foundation, so many councils don't regard it as an entirely separate structure.
They are insulated and easily-customisable
As stated, wooden or timber garden sheds have excellent thermal properties – which means they come with natural insulation. As a result, your shed will undoubtedly be warmer in winter, and cooler in summer than a plastic or metal garden shed. Along with this, it's easy to customise. Pre-built wooden or timber sheds already come with varied designs, but you can customise it further with details such as tool walls, workbenches, or even a porch or extension.
