Garden Sheds | The Benefits
Now we have a further understanding of how and when we can use garden sheds, and in what capacity, we can take a closer look at the essential benefits of installing a garden shed or timber building at home. Below, we list the key benefits of garden sheds from TimClad Ltd (York Timber).
Preservation
A significant benefit of installing a garden shed or timber building in your outdoor space is the ability to protect and preserve important tools and equipment from the negative impacts of severe weather, rust and rot. Better still, a garden shed can act as the ideal deterrent for thieves, with the vast majority of your valuable equipment hidden out of sight and padlocked inside your timber building. This means you can store your hardware, bikes, sports or exercise equipment and more, safe in the knowledge that it will remain well-preserved all year round.
Organisation
Installing a garden shed or timber building won’t just offer a safe space to store your hardware and ensure it remains well-preserved all year round, it will also offer the perfect place to organise your tools and equipment, helping you to manage your clutter. A well-organised garden shed, fitted with shelves, hooks and containers will allow you to make the most of your floor space, keep things tidy and carry out your work with care and precision.
Aesthetic
Stylish, sophisticated and able to be painted or stained in whichever colour you desire, the garden shed is a classic, natural timber wood solution perfect for any landscape or environment. With a wide variety and versatility in design, including a range of shapes, sizes, number of windows and more, a garden shed can be as stylish as you choose.
Space
One of the most important benefits of choosing a timber building or shed for your garden, and an extension of the above points, is the additional space provided for whatever you need to store. Be it hardware, tools, cleaning equipment or a range of expensive electrical equipment, such as TV sets, games consoles, sound systems and more. Your garden shed can become anything you choose, as you make the most of the extra space provided. No matter what you transform your garden shed into, the additional space will prove decisive.
Value
Make no mistake; a beautiful, bespoke garden shed, timber building or in particular, summerhouse will undoubtedly add value to your property. Should the time come for you to sell your property, the additional storage space provided by a garden shed will be a key consideration for many potential buyers, especially if it remains in top condition, with the additional storage space or opportunity to transform it into an entertainment room too hard to miss. Better yet, a luxury summerhouse will increase your home’s value significantly, as a result of impeccable design, flexibility and storage opportunities.
Safety
A key consideration when thinking of installing a garden shed, ensuring the safe storage of hazardous chemicals, fertilisers and sharp objects or operational machinery is paramount, especially if you have young children. Not only this, but you may also run the risk of theft, so keeping your items safely stored away is especially important.
