Wooden Garden Sheds & Storage

1. How long do wooden garden sheds last?

A well-built wooden garden shed can last up to 20 years or more with proper care. Longevity depends on factors such as wood quality, maintenance, and exposure to the elements. Choosing pressure-treated wood adds extra protection against rot and insect damage, significantly extending durability.

2. How should a wooden garden shed be maintained?

Regular maintenance is essential to keep a wooden garden shed in top condition. Cleaning the exterior and interior periodically helps prevent dirt buildup and mould. Applying high-quality wood preservative shields against moisture and UV damage. Ensuring good ventilation reduces condensation, while clearing gutters and checking the roof for missing shingles or cracks prevents water damage. Prompt repairs keep the structure sturdy for years to come.

3. How to decorate a wooden garden shed?

Transforming a wooden garden shed into a stylish or functional space starts with a fresh coat of paint or wood stain to enhance its appearance and protect the surface. Adding window boxes, fairy lights, or hanging plants creates a charming look. Inside, shelves and pegboards maximise storage, while rugs, furniture, and decorative touches make it a cosy retreat, whether used as a workspace, garden lounge, or hobby room.
