Classic Range of Garden Sheds
A traditional garden shed built to a high standard.
Solid and dependable, the Classic Range is built from a lighter duty shiplap of a lower grade than our Superior Range but still of a higher grade than traditionally used in the shed market. The Classic Range is hand built in our workshop and comes in standard sizes. For a bespoke service please see our Superior Range.
Delivery and Installation
Our experienced and professional fitters deliver and install all our buildings free of charge.
As our business is very much dependant on our reputation in providing an excellent product and service our customer care is exceedingly important to us and you will find that we very much pride ourselves on this. From design stage through to installation providing the best possible service is our number one priority.
Please note that our Classic Shed range is delivered within mainland England only, excluding Cornwall.
Show / HideAccess to where you wish your building to be installed is never a problem to us as each building is designed and built to order which means that we can make the building in such a way that it can fit through restricted access areas and be installed exactly where the building is required.
Building Styles & Options
Building Designs
We offer a range of standard sized buildings available in either a pent or apex roofed design.
Show / Hide
Paint
Your building comes treated internally and externally with an attractive light oak preservative, protecting against fungi and woodworm.
We also offer 2 additional finishes. A walnut stain or an attractive green paint for additional protection to your building and added colour.

Base & Bearers
All our buildings require a level solid base of the correct size. We offer a base service. To allow air to flow between the base and the floor and to increase the longevity of our Classic Range shed we recommend tanalized floor bearers.
Show / Hide
Bases must be:
- LEVEL
- of the correct size
- square i.e. have right angled corners
There are 4 options for bases:
1) As the Classic Range of sheds is a lighter range we are able to offer a timber framed base service which we will fit on your piece of level ground at the point that we deliver and install your building.
2) Concretes slabs on a mortar bed – which are adequate in most cases but if you put concrete slabs on ground under which run tree roots or other vegetation then the slabs, over time, will start to uplift and can also, over time, start sinking into the ground.
3) A solid concrete base (which will include steel reinforcement within the mix) no less than 100mm deep is ideal.
4) A timber beam base – this is necessary in rare cases where the building is on a steep slope or to be built near trees with tree preservation orders on them.
The base should always be a minimum of 50mm out of the ground to prevent surface water or puddles affecting your building i.e. rotting it.
The size of the base needs to be the metric size of your building. For example, if you order a 8 x 10 shed, the metric size is 2.4 x 3.0 metres and this should be the size of the base. If the base is not built to the metric size then you will see the base around the building which is unsightly.
Always get your garden building base laid by a professional. We supply a base service if you should require it.
