Before you buy a garden building
Do I need planning permission for a shed?
Usually not, if it's kept low near the fence and not in front of the house. Flats, listed buildings, protected areas and the other UK nations have their own rules. Our guide to planning permission covers what to check.
Does it arrive treated?
Pressure-treated timber is treated before it's made up. Dip-treated sheds usually need a coat of treatment when they're built and every year after. It's one of the first things to look for in the specification.
What comes in the box?
Usually the panels, roof, floor, felt and fixings. Bases and locks are usually extra, so check what's included when you compare two buildings.
Who builds it?
Most sheds need two people to build. Larger buildings take longer, and some makers offer installation.
