Tongue and Groove Sheds

Tongue and groove sheds are a popular choice for garden sheds. This is due to the high-quality method of construction where a short tongue is cut using a router into the top of a piece of timber. It’s then slotted in to a corresponding groove which goes along the bottom length of timber. This method guarantees that our timber sheds are built to last.  So, if you’re looking for a heavy-duty wooden shed, look no further than our tongue and groove sheds.

Unlike other sheds on the market, our garden sheds include many high-quality features as standard, and many of them are made from pressure treated timber that comes with a 10-year guarantee against rot and fungal decay.

Dutch Barn

Go traditional with our wooden Dutch Barn. The barn style roof looks attractive and creates more interior space and the double doors give easy accesss for storing large items or machinery. Meanwhile, the heavy-duty framework ensures a strong, sturdy structure.  Use to store your garden tools, lawn mowers and bikes, or use the space as a workshop.

Wooden Workshop Shed

If your garden shed contains your workshop, you want it to be as tough and hard-working as you are. Our windows and doors are made of 4mm toughened glass and are internally-beaded to ensure your valuable equipment and tools are safe and secure.

Pent Shed

If the space in your garden is at a premium, consider our 3-sided pent sheds. Even though it’s a small lean-to shed, it doesn’t lack the space to store your garden tools, bikes or garden chairs. Simply attach it onto an existing wall and you’re good to go. Our 3-sided pent shed is available in both left and right hand configuration.

The external timber used on our pent sheds is pressure treated which enables us to offer 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation. The roof and floor are made from Multi-Functional Panels (MR P5), which is water resistant.

Like many of our sheds, the 3-sided lean-to sheds are made from 15mm shiplap cladding. This means the timber can expand and contract with the seasons and not create gaps. The curve of the cladding enables water to run off easily and protect your tool shed from dampness.

She Sheds

A she shed is a popular shed use. It is essentially a dedicated space for women to use as they please. Many of our customers use them as beauty rooms for themselves or as their home business, or craft rooms for their hobbies etc. Many of our log cabins are used as beauty salons, hair salons, eyebrow bars and more.

Pub Shed

Imagine having your own garden bar shed at home, where you can spend time however you want. Grab a beer, play some tunes and make yourself comfortable! We have a huge range of man sheds, and though they all feel tall and spacious, most of them are under 2.5m in height, which means you typically don’t require planning permission.

Bye, Bye designated driver! Not only can you choose the music and the guests, but it is also really useful for family and social events. Want to invite the entire extended family for a birthday celebration, or throw a noisy New Year’s Eve party? Now you will have the space at last, without having to move around the furniture.

Bike Shed

Our bike shed is not your average bike shed. Ours is designed to protect your bike, garden equipment and tools from the elements as well as prying eyes.

The Arianne Bike Shed features roofing felt pre-attached to the roof boards, wide opening doors for easy access, secure hinges, hasp and clasp locking system and MR P5 floor and roof. It also boasts a robust sub-frame and 15mm shiplap cladding. All timber for the walls, framing and floor bearers is pressure treated for longevity and comes with 10-year guarantee.

Garden Tool Shed & Mini Storage Shed

Our garden tool and mini storage sheds are the perfect alternatives to a large wooden shed that takes up all your garden space. If you have limited space in your garden but you need somewhere to store your tools or small garden items, look no further than our mini storage and garden tool sheds.

Our practical garden tool shed provides maximum storage in minimum space due to the generous height. No need to duck to access your belongings or even wedge them diagonally into the tool shed. The addition of the tool rail at the rear of the wood shed is useful as you can fix a hook into it to hang your tools and any other objects. Another great feature that helps maximise space and minimise clutter.

A mini storage shed is a small but functional storage solution, making it ideal for small gardens or compact spaces. A small wooden shed will tidy up all the loose garden tools and children’s toys you may have laying around.

Maintain your wooden shed

To ensure your timber shed has a prolonged life, it’s crucial that you take the correct measures to maintain it properly. The key areas to focus on are the base and shed roof.

Along with inspecting the base, it’s vital that you check the roof of your garden shed as well. We recommend checking for damages annually. If you find any wear and tear on the felt of your roof act on it as soon as possible as leaving it will cause more damage to the wood shed and its contents inside.

In case you have to remove the damaged felt, it’s advisable that you wear safety gloves and goggles. Proceed by locating all the nails that are holding the roof felt in place and then pry them loose using a claw hammer. If a nail head breaks off, hammer the nail into the wood as deeply as possible so that there are no sharp points protruding through the wood, which could potentially tear the new felt.

Last but not least, it’s important to protect your garden shed against damp and moisture. In order to do so you have to ensure your shed is in the best possible position within your garden. Water which consistently drips from leaves and branches can cause serious damage. Therefore, we recommend taking regular measures in cutting back any overhanging trees which are close to your wooden shed.

Wooden Garage Workshops For Sale UK

If you’re looking for a superior alternative to a brick garage then our wooden garages might just be what you’re after. They are not only cheaper but built with the highest quality materials and include features that others may not offer. Add space and value to your home with premium quality wooden garages. Our log cabin garages are made with slow grown spruce and pressure treated perimeter bearers that protect the lowest part of the garage against rot and insect infestation for up to 10 years.

We know how important it is to prevent condensation build up in your wooden garage building. For this reason, we have included ventilation as part of our timber garage kits. We use two pairs of plastic base plates, one round and one square. The external round vents are chamfered to help direct water away from the hole, the inner square vents have an integral fly screen to prevent insects from entering through the vent. The pair of vents allows a flow of air through your garage to help keep out musty smells.

Pressure treated garages

Our pressure treated garages are the ideal solution for your car, motorcycle or gardening equipment. With our pressure treated garages every piece of timber is pressure treated, not just the perimeter bearers.

Pressure treatment is a much more costly but effective form of treatment compared to dip treatment, as we use a large tank that uses high pressure to force treatment deep into the wood. We take the extra step and pre-cut the timber before treatment so the ends won’t be exposed. Due to this, all of our pressure treated timber carries a genuine 10-year guarantee against fungal decay and insect infestation.

Wooden Carports Garages

Our wooden car ports offer easy access to your cars and vehicles without having to worry about opening and locking doors behind you. A heavy-duty solution with full pressure treated timber that will stay free from rot and insect infestation for up to 10 years which is something not many competitors can offer.

We only use full lengths of timber in our wooden carports and timber garages, which is something we’re proud of. We don’t glue separate offcut pieces together with finger joints. You can rest assured that our wooden carport kits will not only be stronger but look better too.

Workshop Garage For Sale

Home improvements and DIY projects will never be easier if you have one of our own workshop garages to house them in. Enjoy your hobbies in your own space and free up your home from garden tools or leftover bits of craft.

Our garden workshops will impress you with their high-quality features such as the adjustable storm braces that tie the garage roof to the rest of the building. This way, the workshop building is able to withstand stronger winds and allow for the natural movement of the garage which helps prevent gaps appearing between wall logs as they settle and move.

Additionally, our wooden workshops come with either 2 or 4-point locking systems. Our industry leading 4-point locking system features a hook, locking latch and two roller locks. Whereas the 2-point locking system benefits from a hasp and staple fastener which is fitted to the garage door.

Maintain Your Log Cabin Garage

Our experts recommend choosing the right treatment for your log cabin garage and that you treat it as soon as it’s built. At Dunster House, we offer a variety of wall preservatives that are solvent and water based. In addition to selecting the best log cabin treatment, it’s also important that you re-apply treatment when required. This will depend on the log cabin preservative you have chosen.

Furthermore, creating an environment that aids moisture control is an important element in maintaining your log garage. Make sure measures are in place for the roof, foundations and surrounding drainage to help shake off extra moisture and prevent rot and insect infestations.

We use pressure treated perimeter bearers to protect the lowest part of the building. We use a large pressure treatment tank that forces the treatment deep into the timber at high pressure. Due to this effective process, we offer our customers a genuine 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation on the bearers.

To ensure no gaps form between logs, our wood garages feature adjustable storm braces. The storm braces attached to the wall logs can be tightened or loosened to allow for the timber to settle.  

Don’t forget, your garage is made of timber, a natural product that will contract and expand according to the UK’s unpredictable weather. Once the timber garage is erected, there will be a period of “settling” as the wood reacts and adjusts to surrounding climate. Splits and cracks may occur over time but that shouldn’t compromise the quality of your garden building.

The use of interlocking tongue and groove timber in our log cabins help with the strength and stability of the walls as well as the natural expansion and contraction of the timber.

Planning Permission For Garages & Carports

You may have found exactly what you’re looking for, a wood garage to your exact taste and measurements. That’s great! However, before placing an order for your garden garage, it’s important to familiarise yourself with any planning permissions or building regulations that may apply in your area.

While many of our garden buildings typically don't require planning permission because they are under 2.5m high, some exceptions may still apply, so it is best that you check with your local authority. The official government website will have more information  on planning permission and building regulations.
