Whether it's lounging around during the warmer summer months, or taking the time to protect your plants and trees during the winter; we spend hours upon hours looking after our gardens.

A shed can therefore become a particularly useful building to store our garden equipment, outdoor furniture and expensive bikes, scooters and machinery.

Whether you have one that's full to the brim, or a number of sheds to store all your belongings, as experts in timber cladding, we've seen the unique and interesting ways our customers have re-imagined their sheds to make them more than just for storage.

Here are just a few of the ways in which our customers have changed up their sheds to maximise their outdoor space:


A studio

It's always the dream of creatives to have their own studio space, but this can often be an expense they can't afford as they work towards growing their career.

Whether you're an artist, musician animator or filmmaker, a shed can transform your garden into a creative space to keep you away from the distractions of life. This way you can get on to creating exactly what you do best in the comfort of your own home.


A home Office

Whether you're still getting used to working from home on a more regular basis, or are self-employed and doing it for years, a designated home office can change the way you work.

Having a shed can be a way for you to separate your work life from your home life (and the commute is fantastic!), allowing you to enjoy the perks of working remotely. Being a great insulator of heat, a timber shed will also allow you to keep warm during the day, and even stay cosy on a winter's afternoon.

If you have children and are unable to have a spare room to do you work from home, investing in a shed is a great way of creating a comfortable work space for less, allowing you to make the most of your working day.

A summer house

If you have a garden, you'll most likely love utilising the space in the summer months, with garden parties, barbeques and sunbathing sessions with friends all on the cards.

A shed can easily be turned into a summer house to allow for sheltered seating as the sun begins to set, or as an area to set up for a garden-dining situation.

Pop in some comfy cushions, deck out with chairs and loungers, and you'll have your very own budget summer house space.

Guest accommodation

If you're a sociable person, but haven't got the free space in your home to invite people to stay overnight or for the weekend, then you may be exploring other ways to increase your living space.

Whether it's an extension, orangery or conservatory, all these options come at a great expense to afford the luxury of inviting friends and family to stay.

So, why not go for a more cost-effective alternative, by creating your own guest accommodation in the garden?

By investing in an insulated shed, you can create a warm, comfortable space that allows them to have their own private space whilst still being in close proximity to you - perfect for extending your home on a budget.

Workshop

If you work in a field where you require a workshop, sometimes you can't ever explore your passion at home due to a lack of workspace.

Although you may have a shed for your tools, why not transform it completely with a workshop refurbishment?

A new shed can allow you to store your tools and get on with any productive projects you have; maybe even allowing you to start your own business or work from home.


Mancave

Whether it's a 'mancave' or a 'she-cave', having your own designated space for you to escape to is perfect to allow you to relax after a hard day at work or looking after the kids.

You might like to shut the door and catch up on your favourite tv series, cuddle up with a book or, let's face it, even have a nap, to make sure you find your inner zen once again,

Taking time out for yourself is hugely important, so a garden shed can allow you to do just that on a budget (and maybe the kids won't find you in there!)

Games room

Always dreamed of a pool table? But never had the space?

A considerable-sized shed can allow you space to fit your own pool table outdoors, transforming the space into your very own games room.

Add the snacks, get your friends around and spend weekend afternoons in your own space without the distractions and worry about the noise you're making.

It’s also worth noting you can even have a bar installed if your party extends to the evening.

Pet sheds

And don't forget to think about your furry friends.

A specialist shed will be warm enough and secure to keep your pets in overnight, and can allow them to feel safe in our space that's much larger than any cage or kennel.

If you trust them, you can even store their food in their, to free up more room in your kitchen or garage.

The garden shed is a very versatile garden accessory and can be reimagined to create a space that works for your needs.

Though we have only listed a few of the options available, we have shown that a shed really is more than just a storage space.
