8 x 6 foot sheds
Give yourself storage space without giving up your garden. Our 8 x 6 sheds are perfect for storing lawnmowers, bicycles and garden furniture, with flexible design options to suit your needs. Choose double doors for easy access to your new storage space, or go windowless if security’s your top priority. Our sheds are delivered as DIY kits, but why not take the hard work out of building it by upgrading to our professional installation service?
How do I build a shed base?
A simple wooden shed base is straightforward for a competent DIYer. Build a secure frame with square corners on a flat, level surface by screwing together pre-measured lengths of timber, adding cross-bars to give the structure strength.. Ensure it's at least as large as your shed footprint. A large shed will require a concrete or paving slab base. Find out which base is best for your new shed – and how to build it – by reading our guide to building a shed base.
How do I take down my old shed?
The safest way to dismantle a shed is to start at the top and work your way down. It’s a two-person job, but a relatively straightforward one that requires only basic tools. Take extra care when removing windows, especially if they’re glass, and don’t lean on any part of the shed once you start taking the roof apart – it may not take your weight! Check out our step-by-step guide to dismantling a shed for more in-depth advice.
How can I get mains power to my shed?
It's always best to get a registered professional to install mains electricity. First, plan out what your power requirements are. You'll need to dig a 45 to 60cm deep trench from your house to your shed to accommodate cables, and leave the wiring to a qualified electrician. To find out more, read our guide to getting mains power to your shed.
