Garden Access

If your garden is difficult to access it can go a long way to keep out any potential shed burglars. Make sure your fencing is secure, and consider planting hedges as an extra obstacle.

Shed Location

If your shed is tucked away out of sight then it gives an intruder all the time they need to access your property without being seen. By placing your shed within view it will allow you to keep an eye on it from the house and can act as that all-important deterrent.

Door

Use a good quality hasp and padlock to secure your shed door – being careful to ensure that any screws are covered so that they can’t be removed from the outside. The same principle applies to your hinges, which are worth investing in to make sure your shed door acts as the barrier it was designed to be.

Windows

If your shed houses any valuable items then you won’t want them to be on display to thieves. Use a scrap of netting or other material to cover the window so that your property is not visible, but light can still come through for you to see by.

Alarm

To really achieve peace of mind about your shed security, you could consider installing an alarm. It is sometimes possible to include the shed in an existing home alarm system, but standalone units are also available for this specific purpose.

Although the qualities of hardwood are not universally defined, many of them are known for their density which makes it the perfect material for projects that require high levels of durability and strength. Hardwood is popular for making fine furniture and decorative doors or wall panels, but here are a few alternative suggestions of ways to make use of this resilient material:

Guitar

Fender and Jackson use alder wood to make their iconic electric guitars. With a straight grain and even texture this wood provides a beautiful material for these lovingly crafted instruments.

Baseball Bat

Hardwood is robust and durable enough to withstand the impact of a baseball hurtling through the air at lightning speeds.

Walking Stick

Ash has an intrinsic elasticity which gives it great pliability and allows it to be curved and shaped into a comfortable handle. Once set it boasts the strength to take the weight of a grown adult without risk of splitting.

Smoking Pipe

Cherry wood is traditionally used to create decorative smoking pipes that are rich in colour and durable enough to last for many years.

Here at Sunningdale Timber we provide the highest quality of hardwood timber from a huge variety of trees. Every type of hardwood has its own individual qualities and aesthetics, so we are always happy to offer expert advice to help you decide which one will work best for you.

To celebrate the sheer variety of sheds in the UK, readersheds.co.uk holds an annual competition that aims to find the ‘Shed of the Year’. Shed afficionados (affectionately known as Sheddies) submit photographs of their beloved sheds in the hope of capturing the imagination of the judges and winning that coveted title.

The competition attracts thousands of entrants each year, and can be a great source of inspiration for aspiring Sheddies. Themes range from American style diners to castles, warships and a tribute to the abstract artist Piet Mondrian, so there really is something for everyone.

Here at Sunningdale Timber we design and manufacture all of our sheds from scratch, which gives us a huge amount of flexibility to meet the individual requirements of our customers. Using only the highest quality materials we can work to your specifications and create, deliver and install your dream shed within 3-7 working days.

So here are a few suggestions of slightly more imaginative uses for your garden shed:

Sanctuary

There’s no rule that says your shed has to be full of tools and spiders webs. Instead, you could clear it out and install a comfy seat and your choice of TV, music player or just a good book and make it a secret getaway to enjoy some time to yourself.

Pet Kennel

Whether you like to keep rabbits, guinea pigs or even chickens, a shed can convert into the perfect space to keep your pets. With room to move around freely, a shed will protect them from the elements and also from the threat of neighbourhood predators.

Workshop

If your hobbies involve making a bit of mess, the idea of getting everything out and then packing away again afterwards can be enough to put you off in the house. Using your shed as a workshop means that you will have a dedicated space where any accoutrements can be stored without intruding into your wider living space.

Here at Sunningdale Timber we design and manufacture a whole range of high quality structures that can help you to make the most of your garden space. Whatever use you have in mind for your shed in Leicester or the surrounding area, we can suggest the perfect thing.
