Many sheds are designed for DIY assembly, making it a satisfying project for any DIY enthusiast. Basic tools like a hammer, screwdriver, power drill, spirit level, and safety equipment are usually all you need. Larger sheds might require an extra pair of hands, especially when handling heavy sections.
Ensure you have a solid, level base prepared before you start assembling your shed. This will save you time and effort later on. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, and don't rush the process. Taking your time will ensure the shed is assembled correctly and safely.

In most cases, garden sheds do not require planning permission. However, there are exceptions. If your shed covers more than half your garden, is not for domestic use, or exceeds certain height restrictions (4 meters), you will need planning permission. Additionally, if the shed is near a boundary or a public highway, or if you live in a Conservation Area or a Listed Building, you might need to apply for permission.
It's always best to check with your local planning authority if you are unsure. At Logspan, we provide guidance on planning permissions and can help you navigate the process. Visit our website or contact our customer service team for more information.
Yes, you can and should insulate your shed, especially if you plan to use it year-round or as a workspace. Insulating your shed keeps it warm in the winter and cool in the summer, making it more comfortable to use. The most common materials for insulation are polystyrene, fibreglass, and foam boards.
To insulate your shed, fit the insulation between the framing members and cover it with plywood or tongue-and-groove cladding. Ensure there are no gaps for cold air to penetrate. Don’t forget to insulate the roof and floor for maximum efficiency.
Installing insulation is a straightforward DIY project. Contact us today to find out more and make your shed a year-round haven.
Maintaining your wooden shed is essential for its longevity and aesthetic appeal. Regular maintenance will keep your shed in top condition and extend its lifespan. Start by treating the external timber with a good quality wood stain or paint at least once a year. This protects the wood from the elements and prevents rot and decay.
Ensure the base of your shed is well-drained and dry. Check for any signs of damp or water pooling around the base and address these issues promptly. Keeping the base dry will prevent moisture from seeping into the wood and causing damage.
Oil the door and window hinges regularly to ensure they operate smoothly. If your shed has windows, check the seals to make sure they are intact and replace any that are damaged to prevent water ingress.

Choosing the right size shed for your garden can be a daunting task, but with a few considerations, you can find the perfect fit. The first step is to assess the space available in your garden. Measure the area where you plan to place the shed, ensuring there's enough room for the shed itself and for you to move around it comfortably. For smaller gardens, a 6x4 or 6x8 shed might be ideal, while larger gardens can accommodate sheds 10x12 or even larger.
Next, think about what you'll be storing in your shed. If it's just garden tools and a few small items, a smaller shed will suffice. However, if you plan to store larger equipment like lawnmowers or bicycles, you'll need more space. Consider the door size and location as well—sliding doors can save space and provide easy access.
When it comes to style, pent or lean-to sheds can be perfect for tight spaces as they can be positioned against a wall. Apex sheds, with their peaked roofs, offer more headroom and are great for storing taller items. Remember, the larger the shed, the more flexible your storage options will be.
At Logspan, we offer a range of sheds in various sizes to suit all needs. Visit our website to explore our collection and find the perfect shed for your garden.
