Shire Garden Buildings & Sheds

Shire sheds

Undoubtedly, a star performer among the Shire garden buildings range is Shire sheds. Almost all of the range are Shire wooden sheds, with features including:

• Cladding – most of the range is shiplap tongue and groove, but we also have some Shire tongue and groove sheds as well as overlap sheds
• Door types – most have double doors, and some (particularly smaller sheds) have single doors
• Guarantee – all wooden sheds are guaranteed for 10 years (irrespective of treatment)
• Sizes – the size range is immense and starts from 6’x5’ and stretches to a 20’x10’ shed workshop. Some of most popular shed sizes are available including 8’x6’, 10’x6’, 10’x8’, and 12’x8’
• Roof styles – roofing is predominantly apex, with a good selection of pent roofs too
• Treatment – choose from:
  • Dip treated sheds – this is most of the range; they will need to be retreated annually with a premium-quality wood preservative
  • Pressure treated sheds – there are also a few pressure treated sheds. These do cost more initially, but you will recoup the upfront investment each year with savings on avoided preservative treatment, which is no longer required

Shed styles and options

Some of the Shire sheds range are designed with specific purposes in mind:

• Bike storage – the 6’x3’ Shire Wooden Bike Shed is perfect for storing two adult bikes, or perhaps three children’s bikes. Potentially, other garden items could be stored inside too
• Corner sheds – fill a corner with square sheds, such as the 8’x8’ Shire pressure treated corner shed, 7’x7’ Shire shiplap corner shed and other corner models too
• Log cabin sheds – the Shire Bradley range are hybrid log cabin sheds. Enjoy the Scandinavian appeal of log cabins, which are designed like sheds. Sizes all suit corners too, with 7’x7’, 8’x8’ and 9’x9’
• Potting sheds – buy a Shire potting shed as a perfect place for potting plants, and small-scale plant cultivation. Look for Shire potting shed models such as the 6’x8’ Iceni, or 8’x8’ Iceni
• Tool storage – store your garden tools, equipment, and valuables in these specialist stores. Models include the 2’x2’ Shire wooden garden store, the 4’x2’ Shire wooden garden storage unit, and the 4'x2' Shire Tuscany Evo 100 Plastic Garden Storage Shed

Shed accessories and optional extras

There is a range of shed accessories and optional extras which can be bought at the time you purchase your Shire shed. See individual product pages for details:

• Benches – opt for potting benches and work benches
• Installation – add on a professional installation service for your new shed
• Shed bases – choose the exact size of plastic shed base to match your shed
• Shelving – buy shelving to accompany your shed, and visit our dedicated shed shelving page
• Solar lighting kits – light your shed without increasing your electricity bill with shed solar lighting
• Storage cupboards – perfect for sheds, buy these for extra structured storage space
• Timber treatment – source high-quality wood preservative to treat dip treated sheds

Plastic sheds

Certainly, the exception rather than the rule, Shire also manufactures plastic sheds. If you are looking for top-quality plastic, why not browse and shop for these models, both of which are supplied with a one year warranty:

1. 6'6’x5'4’ Shire Tuscany Evo 200 Apex Plastic Double Door Shed
2. 6'6’x8' Shire Tuscany Evo 240 Apex Plastic Double Door Shed

Also, in the Shire Tuscany Evo range are the smaller 4’x3’, and 4’x4’, which are large plastic storage units (shed hybrids).

Shire garden buildings and workshops

Bison is the name given to the range of Shire garden workshops. The name “Bison” certainly applies to this hard-working and durable garden workshop range. With sizes ranging from 10’x8’ to 20’x10’, these are all large workshops, which are ready-built for heavy-duty tasks such as carpentry, home businesses, metalwork, and multiple other purposes.

All feature shiplap tongue and groove cladding, double doors, and apex roofing. Buy these workshops to spend lots of time in the great outdoors.

Shire summer houses

Shire is one of our most popular summer house providers. Choose from an extensive selection of Shire summer houses in various styles and sizes to exactly match your requirements.

With sizes ranging from the 7’x5’ Shire Lumley Summer house right up to the 14’x17’ Shire Chaumont Log Cabin-style Summer House, there are sizes available for small to the largest of gardens. Corner summer houses, such as the 7’x7’ Shire Barclay Corner Summer house, are perfect for neatly filling a garden corner, with an 8’x8’ version also available.

Shire summer houses features you will enjoy are:

• Cladding choice - tongue and groove, interlocking logs or shiplap tongue and groove’
• Impressive doors selection - single door, double doors, bifold doors or a double door with a single door
• Roof style options - apex, curved, pent, pyramid and reverse apex

Shire log cabins

We also have an extensive range of Shire log cabins, many of which double up as summer houses, such as the Shire Hale 12’x10’ Log Cabin Summer house (which is also available in 12’x12’). As well as being used as summer houses, other uses for log cabins include:

• Log cabin sheds – buy a log cabin complete with a side shed for storage, an example is the Shire Walsoken 8’x12’ Log Cabin with a Side Shed
• Garden offices – ditch the commute and work from home with the exciting range of Shire garden offices, a good example is the Shire Maulden 7’x10’ Log Cabin
• Garden gyms – exercise outdoors and save gym membership with a log cabin gym – an option would be the Shire Montford 11’x11’ Log Cabin
• Kids cabins – many of the range can also be used as a play area outdoors for children

Made from interlocking logs or tongue and groove cladding these log cabins are built to last and certainly add a WOW factor to any garden.

Shire playhouses

Shire playhouses are a highlight among our Shire garden buildings and are designed to provide endless fun and safety for your children. Crafted from top-quality FSC-certified timber, these wooden playhouses are available in a variety of sizes, from the compact 4'x4' Shire Bunny playhouse to the spacious 8'x9' Shire Lodge kids' wooden playhouse.

The elevated wooden tower playhouses, such as the Mercia 5’x7’ poppy kids wooden tower playhouse stand out as a favourite option. Explore Shire wooden playhouse options today and choose a playhouse that your children and grandchildren are sure to cherish.

Shire arbours

An arbour will transform your outdoor life. They provide a sensational and practical garden feature, as they double up as a shady seating area too. With garden arbours ranging from 4’x2’ to 5’x3’ they are compact but provide enough room for one to two adults to sit. Consider bench arbours as a viable alternative to garden benches.
