BUY A SHED - OBVIOUS BUT DON'T OVERLOOK:
 Before you buy a shed, measure the space that you've got and search by size;
 Decide whether you want a shed base for your shed, as some do come without bases, so check and add in the price of a base when you are comparison shopping;
 Decide which way you want the door to open, and check that there is enough space for the door to open fully; you can get some (larger) sheds with double doors;
 Do you want a wooden shed? If so, do you want larch lap (cheaper) or tongue and groove (more expensive)? The shed in the picture above is larchlap, with overlapping panels like a garden fence; tongue and groove sheds are sturdier and the panels link together like floorboards;
 What type of roof do you want? There are several different types: Overlap, Apex, Shiplap or Pent; Apex is the most popular type of roof, as you can see in these examples at OverlapApexGardenSheds.co.uk.
 Do you want the hassle of painting / maintaining your shed? You might want to consider a plastic or metal shed, which are low maintenance but cost more.

These are just a few things to consider before you buy a shed, and you can find all this information at all our recommended sites; click on any link or image and you'll get detailed information on how to buy a shed.
