Natural look
Do you want a garden shed with character and a beautiful natural look? Most garden sheds are made of wood, as this natural material fits very nicely into the garden. Since most garden sheds are made of wood, there are many different types. Hence, the price is also the most variable. A wooden garden shed costs on average between £500 and £10,000.
Durability and low maintenance
Would you rather not have a wooden garden shed because it requires too much maintenance? A plastic garden shed is easy to assemble and requires hardly any maintenance. You only need to clean it occasionally with a wet cloth. The average price of a plastic garden shed is between £1,400 and £5,000.
Best choice
Do you want a simple garden shed that is above all very sturdy and doesn’t need too much maintenance? Then a metal garden shed is for you. A metal garden shed is low-maintenance and will last a very long time, and metal garden sheds are also the cheapest. Ideal if you want to build an inexpensive garden. The prices of a metal garden shed range from £300 to £3,500, depending on the size.
Price structure of a garden shed
What choices determine the garden shed price?
The choices below determine the prices of your garden shed.
Choice 1: What material?
The first choice you will make is the material of the garden shed: will you choose wood, plastic or metal?
Wood garden shed
Wood is the most commonly chosen material for garden sheds. This is because it has a nice natural look that fits well in a garden. There are very simple, compact wooden garden sheds from £600, but you can also buy a large, luxurious garden shed that is more around £10,000 in terms of price. There are also differences in wood. Hardwoods such as beech, oak and mahogany last longer than softwoods such as pine, cedar or spruce, but also make a garden shed more expensive.
Plastic garden shed
A plastic garden shed is often bought by people who want a garden shed that requires little maintenance. You only need to clean it with a wet cloth every now and then, in addition, a garden shed does not rot or rust, making it last longer than both wooden and metal garden sheds. A plastic garden shed can discolour due to weather influences.
Metal garden shed
The most economical material for a garden shed is metal. A metal garden shed is low-maintenance and long-lasting. The disadvantage of a metal garden shed is that it does not have a natural look. A metal garden shed costs between £300 and £3,500.
Choice 2: What kind of roof do you want?
There are different types of roofs to choose from for your garden shed.
Saddle roof
The most common type of roof is the gable roof. A gable roof is a roof with 2 roof shells that meet at the top at the ridge. A gable roof is suitable for roof shingles, roof tiles and roof tile sheets.
Lesson roof
A pent roof is a roof with 1 pitched roof plane. A garden shed with a pent roof is suitable for tile, tile and shingle roofing. A garden shed with a pent roof is generally an inexpensive variant.
Flat roof
A garden shed with a flat roof is completely flat and covered with EPDM roofing material. A garden shed with a flat roof has a long lifespan and a small chance of leakage. In addition, a flat roof gives a modern look to your garden shed.
Pyramid roof
A pyramid roof has 4 sloping roof surfaces that meet in a point at the top. A pyramid roof has a graceful luxurious look and is suitable for roof shingles, roof tiles and roof tile sheets.
Choice 3: What kind of roofing do you want?
Choice 2 shows what kind of roofing is possible on what kind of roof. Besides the type of roof, you also choose the type of roofing.
Roof shingles
Roof shingles is a lightweight scaly roofing material. It is made of a durable material and has a wide choice in quality, shape and colour scheme. This is the most common and also the most economical roofing material, and is often the default choice when buying a garden shed.
EPDM foil
EPDM foil is always placed on flat garden sheds but is also common on, for example, a gable roof or pent roof. As it is cut to size and then installed in 1 piece or in strips, it is quick and easy to install. EPDM comes in rolls and prices vary according to the thickness of the membrane.
Roof tile sheets
Roof tile sheets are larger sheets and are made of steel or plastic. They are lighter than roof tiles. The material is pressed into the shape of roof tiles, making a roof tile sheet barely distinguishable from a roof with real tiles. Less material is needed to cover a roof, making you cheaper than having real roof tiles installed.
Roof tiles
The most luxurious choice for your garden shed are roof tiles. If you want real roof tiles on your summerhouse, it is important to consider the roof structure of the summerhouse, though. It must be strong enough to support the roof tiles. Roof tiles stay nice and last longer than roof tile plates.
Choice 4: Will you have it assembled or not?
In addition to the cost of the summerhouse itself, you can choose to have it assembled by a specialist. This is advisable if you don’t have a lot of knowledge about building. A fitter will ensure that the summerhouse is placed perfectly and that you don’t have to worry about anything else. Installation costs are between £ 200 and £ 3,500.
