How a garden shed can spruce up your backyard

Gardens today just aren’t for lawns and places for the kids to play, they are also great spaces for storage sheds, a place to store tools, garden items, even just items from the house. For a garden shed to *work* it has to look not only presentable but also have a look and feel that blends in well with the house.

So, your garden shed doesn’t look like a pimple on a pumpkin it should be well planned, so it blends in with the style of your home.

Some basic tips include –

  • SPACE – work out the space you have available, and the size of the shed you are buying. Where is it going to be located? Try and ensure it won’t be an issue with your neighbours.
  • USE –what will you be using your shed for? For gardening, for bikes and toys, for your lawnmower and garden tools, to store outdoor furniture, or pool accessories. When you decide what you want to put in your shed – you can then work out the size.
  • SIZE –how big or small do you need your shed to be? If space and your budget allow, opt for a shed one size larger.
  • BASE –will you be building your shed directly on the ground? On pavers? Sand and gravel? On pallets, Or on a cement floor? The size and needs of your shed will dictate the type of base needed.
  • INSTALLATION –will you choose to install the shed yourself, or would you prefer someone from your garden shed supplier in Sydney</strong> to arrange installation?
  • TIME –if you are buying a kit shed and putting it together yourself – give yourself time, don’t rush it this way you’ll make fewer mistakes.
  • TOOLS –make sure you already own or can borrow all the tools you’ll need to prepare the area and assemble your shed.
  • INSTRUCTIONS –follow the manufacturer’s instructions, there is a reason they are there, follow them, and you shouldn’t have any problems.
  • DOORS – consider the door width and op for a double door if you will be storing large/wide items

  • I just want to advise you of the terrific service one of your shed builders provided to us when last week he built the shed we ordered through your Penrith office. Dave and his young helper provided first class workmanship, he was very polite, and the clean up was a pleasure compared to most other tradesmen. We are soon going to order a further shed via Penrith and I have no hesitation in recommending your products. Thank you Dave, and thank you to Col Western Sheds.

  • Thank you to all at Col Western Sheds for your excellent service. From the time I made a weekend telephone enquiry, place a telephone order for a shed early the following week, received by email a diagram and quote, received advice of expected delivery time and took delivery at exactly the promised time from friendly helpful delivery men, I received outstanding service

  • Just letting you know that I received my shed even earlier than advised. It is so good to deal with a company that values it’s customers and delivers on ALL of it’s promises. I loved the ease of use of the web site along with the easy to find prices. I received great service at the Penrith Store when i went in to make my purchase. Fabulous communications re my purchase, and delivery well above my expectations. The product ain’t half bad either
