Garden Sheds Offer Much More Than Garden Storage

National Shed Week begins in early July each year, so there couldn’t be a better time to start considering how to transform your garden. To give you an idea of the tremendous range of ideas now available, Shed of the Year is split into eight separate categories of garden building. Let’s have a look at them to see how they could influence and improve your garden.

Eco Shed Many people are now looking for a greener, more environmentally-friendly shed. Providing you’re not looking to win any competitions, the obvious way to produce an eco shed is to add solar panels or have one which is made of recycled materials. Normal Shed It doesn’t sound like an inspiring name for a category, and probably makes you think that sheds are boring after all. However, this category is there to remind you that you don’t need to do anything extraordinary to have a fantastic shed. Often the use of inspirational colours can turn a seemingly normal shed into an impressive new garden room. Garden Office It has become increasingly common for sheds, and particularly log cabins, to be used as an office. They’re used for all types of jobs and some people have even gone as far as using their shed as a recording studio. For the majority, a garden office is a great way to make space for filing and working on your computer without cluttering your house. Cabin / Summerhouse A log cabin or summerhouse option opens up a wide range of different buildings and features. Generally, people use summerhouses as rooms to sit in and relax when the weather’s nice. A log cabin is ideal if you want an extensive and sturdy garden room. Often seen as an alternative to an extension or conservatory, a log cabin can be turned to most purposes, such as a gym, games room or an extra sitting room. Workshop / Studio Whether you need the extra space for a hobby or work, a workshop or studio shed can add an extra dimension to your garden. By adding a garden building rather than using a room in your house, you can easily separate workspace from your home space, allowing you to really focus on your work. Pub Shed You can probably guess the purpose of a pub shed where, with a drink in hand, you relax with friends. You might be surprised at just how far some people will go to produce a mini pub in their garden with built-in bars for drinks, or even in some cases with beer on tap! There really is no better way to get the most out of your garden than having your own mini pub. So, as you can see, there are plenty of uses for garden buildings, ranging from the expected to the extravagant. Next time you are thinking about how you use your garden, why not consider whether you could fit in a workshop or even a pub?
