Metal Sheds

Metal Sheds - more info

Metal sheds are known for their durability and longevity, and the simplicity of these buildings ensures simple assembly and low maintenance. Available in a range of sizes and designs, these metal garden sheds offer a reliable solution for safeguarding all kinds of outdoor equipment. Whether you’re looking for a compact design to store tools or a larger structure for bigger items or even vehicles, the metal sheds available here provide security and protection against the elements. Options include single-door space savers, metal bike sheds and even spacious workshops.

Are metal sheds any good?

Garden sheds are available in various materials so it makes sense to consider the pros and cons of each type to decide which is best for you – our ultimate shed buying guide will help you with this. But in terms of quality, you don’t have to worry – a good metal shed will provide a sturdy, secure storage solution or workshop space that’s both durable and easy to maintain. Many of the metal sheds available here come with anti-rust and corrosion guarantees and have been designed and tested to withstand high wind conditions, offering robust and long-lasting protection. What’s more, with a wide range of styles and sizes to choose from, you won’t have any trouble finding a metal shed to fit the space you have available.

How to stop condensation in a metal shed

Metal sheds are ideal for storage, so you’ll want to maximise the protection they offer by keeping condensation to a minimum. A top tip is to keep the air circulating by regularly opening doors. This might be taken care of naturally through regular use of the items you’re storing – if you have a metal bike shed, for example. But if you use your metal garden shed on a seasonal basis – say, for outdoor furniture or garden tools used mainly in the spring and summer – then remember to give it an airing at regular intervals throughout the year. Also consider how items are stored within the metal shed. Quality storage boxes, cupboards, draws and weather-proof covers are well worth the investment, and help prevent corrosion. Also try to avoid clutter to help the air circulate. If you have mains power you could consider a dehumidifier. See our guide on getting mains power to your shed for help with this.

 

How to insulate a metal shed

Insulating a metal shed is worth considering if you want to keep the inside temperature stable. This can help to protect stored items and provide a more welcoming environment if you’re using your metal shed as a workshop. It can also help to keep moisture to a minimum (see above). The first step for insulating your metal shed is to fill and seal any spaces in the structural frame. Next, decide on which material to use for insulating the inside walls of your shed. There are several options, including:

• Bubble wrap
• Rockwool
• PIR insulation boards
• Wool

Once your insulation is in place on your metal shed’s interior, it’s time to install wall boards or panelling over the top. Again, there are various options, which include:

• Hardboard
• Plywood
• Tongue and groove
• Pallet board

Each of these insulation options comes with various pros and cons. The choice that’s right for you will very much depend on your own specific needs and the purpose of your metal shed. Find out more about the advantages and disadvantages of the different options in our guide to insulating your shed.
