Windowless sheds - more info
A windowless shed is a practical choice for anyone seeking a garden storage option offering simplicity, security and privacy. We have a range of wooden windowless sheds in a variety of sizes featuring overlap or shiplap tongue and groove timber panelling. Manufactured in the UK, these sheds come with various options, including single or double doors, and side-opening or gable-ended door designs. Our wooden sheds also come with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee for added peace of mind.
What are the advantages of a windowless shed?
A shed without windows offers more simplicity when it comes to maintenance and construction. Also, the lack of natural light getting through can help protect items stored inside the shed from being damaged by the sun – this is particularly important if you have garden furniture that you don’t want to fade. Added security is also an advantage, with the shed’s contents remaining out of sight and the lack of windows providing fewer access opportunities to thieves. Of course, there are pros and cons with any shed choice, and there are many good reasons for having windows too. If you’re unsure about the best option for you, have a read of our shed buying guide.
Can I use a windowless shed as a workshop?
While windowless sheds are ideal for storage, they come in various shapes and sizes so the space offered can easily be turned into a workshop. However, bear in mind that you won’t benefit from the natural light offered by shed designs with windows. But If simply opening the door doesn’t give you sufficient light to see what you’re doing, you could consider locating your shed somewhere close to the electric supply or using battery or solar lighting systems. For more information on this, take a look at our guide on how to light your shed.
Shiplap vs overlap – what’s the difference?
Shiplap is a tongue and groove construction method where the wooden boards slot into each other, creating an airtight and watertight seal. Overlap panels, on the other hand, are created by laying boards on top of one another with – as the name suggests – a slight overlap. This produces an outward angle towards the bottom of each board, which encourages rainwater runoff. You can find out more about each type of construction in our overlap vs shiplap guide.
