In most cases, sheds and summerhouses that meet certain size and height criteria may not require planning permission. However, regulations can vary by location, so it's best to check with your local planning authority.
How do I choose the right size for my garden structure?

Consider your intended use and available space. Measure the area and choose a size that allows for your needs without overcrowding your garden.
What maintenance is required for a wooden shed or summerhouse?

Wooden structures may need regular staining or painting to protect against weathering. It's also important to inspect and replace any damaged wood to prevent rot.

Yes, you can insulate a summerhouse to make it suitable for all seasons. This may include adding insulation to the walls and roof and installing a heating source.
What should I consider when choosing the location for my shed?

Ensure the site is level, well-drained, and receives adequate sunlight. Consider proximity to utilities like electricity if needed
How long does it typically take to assemble a shed or summerhouse?

Assembly times vary based on size and complexity. Simple sheds may take around an hour, while larger summerhouses could take a couple of hours depending on the size.
Can I customise the design of my shed?
