Garden buildings serve a wide range of purposes – from providing practical storage space, a dedicated hobby room, or a relaxing garden retreat. And choosing the right garden building for your needs can make all the difference. At Sutton Sheds, we've been helping our customers to find the perfect timber garden buildings for over 30years, manufacturing everything from traditional sheds to bespoke custom builds, in the heart of Lincolnshire.
If you're considering investing in a new garden building, this guide will help you understand the different options available, and how to choose the right one for your needs.
Garden sheds - the everyday essential
Most people, when they hear the words ‘garden building’, think of a shed, and, indeed, garden sheds are one of the most versatile and popular additions to any outdoor space.
For anyone looking for garden sheds for sale in Lincolnshire, always look for a shed that balances durability, storage capacity, and appearance. Whether you need somewhere to store lawnmowers, bicycles, gardening tools, or outdoor furniture, a quality timber shed provides practical year-round protection from the elements.
We offer made-to-order wooden pent sheds and apex sheds in a range of sizes from a 7x5 with single door to a 16x10 with double doors. All are designed to suit gardens of every size and whether you are looking for a compact storage solution or a larger, multi-purpose building, a wooden shed offers a natural aesthetic that blends seamlessly into any outdoor setting.
None of our garden buildings are held in stock, and every piece will be manufactured once a firm order has been placed. That way, you will have peace of mind that the components of your shed haven’t been sat exposed, and untreated, to the elements.
Small wooden sheds - perfect for compact gardens
Not everyone has a large garden, but we believe that you shouldn’t have to compromise on storage because of it. Sheds like the 7x5 apex shed with single door or the 7x5 pent roof shed with single door are both excellent choices homeowners who need practical storage without taking up valuable outdoor space.
Small sheds are ideal for:
• Garden tools and equipment
• Children's outdoor toys
• Seasonal decorations
• Barbecues and outdoor accessories
Because they're compact, they can fit neatly into corners or smaller plots while still providing useful storage. They're also a popular choice for first-time homeowners and keen gardeners looking to keep their outdoor space organised.
Large wooden sheds - more than just storage
For hobbyists and enthusiasts, a smaller shed may not offer enough room, and this is where large wooden sheds come into their own.
A larger building provides the flexibility to create dedicated areas for woodworking, crafting, model making, bike maintenance, or other hobbies. Many customers find that a spacious shed quickly becomes their favourite place to spend time.
Large sheds can also accommodate workbenches, shelving systems, and power tools while still leaving room for storage. If you've ever dreamed of a workshop but don't have the space outdoors, a large timber shed is the perfect solution.
With the option to have double door entry, both our pent sheds and apex sheds are available up to a generous 16x10.
Wooden workshops – a hobbyist's dream
For those who enjoy hands-on projects, a workshop might be a better option than a shed, offering functionality than a traditional garden shed. There are many benefits of a wooden workshop including their generous proportions, which range from 10x8 to 20x12, but if you’re not sure what size you need or can accommodate easily, read our practical guide to choosing the right size for your workshop.
Our standard wooden workshops are taller than our sheds, with an eaves height from 6’6” to 8’ at the ridge. They feature windows with fixed panes of toughened glass and a robust construction suitable for heavier equipment.
Whether you're a keen DIY enthusiast, a woodworker, or a crafter, a wooden workshop provides a dedicated environment where you can focus on your projects without taking over the house or garage.
Many of our customers across Lincolnshire choose workshops because they want to achieve the perfect balance between practical storage and a functional working space.
Potting sheds - for passionate gardeners
If gardening is your favourite pastime, a potting shed could be the perfect addition to your garden.
Designed specifically for plant enthusiasts, our standard wooden potting sheds come in 5 sizes, each with a fixed potting bench a sloping flat pent roof and an entire side of fixed, slanting windows to maximise natural light and create the ideal environment for sowing seeds, potting plants, and organising gardening equipment.
A potting shed helps keep gardening activities contained in one dedicated area while protecting young plants from unpredictable weather. It's an excellent choice for gardeners who want to enjoy their hobby throughout the seasons.
Our potting shed blog has lots of really helpful tips and advice for anyone considering buying one who may not be sure, as well as articles on how to maintain one.
Summerhouses – a space to relax
Not every garden building has to be practical. Sometimes, it's nice to create a space that is simply dedicated to kicking back and relaxing.
Summerhouses are versatile garden buildings that serve a multitude of purposes. They can be a place to read, enjoy a coffee, entertain guests or simply relax and unwind after a tough day at work. Each of our four attractive designs are available in four standard sizes to fit most gardens. Whether your summerhouse is used as an entertainment space or somewhere for the teenagers to retreat to with friends and computer games, it will quickly become a stylish focal point in any outdoor space, with lots of light and extra space.
Many hobbyists also use summerhouses as art studios, writing rooms, or creative spaces away from household distractions.
Bespoke garden buildings – made to your specification
We understand that sometimes a standard building isn't quite right. Perhaps you need specific dimensions, a different configuration, extra doors and windows, or a combination of workshop and storage space.
At Sutton Sheds, we manufacture bespoke garden buildings tailored to individual requirements. Our custom builds allow customers to create a garden building that works perfectly for their space, hobbies, and lifestyle. If you have the idea but not the design, our team of experience and skilled craftspeople, can help to bring your vision to life.
Whether you're looking for sheds in Lincolnshire, a specialist workshop, a potting shed, or a completely unique design, a bespoke timber building ensures you will get exactly what you need.
How to choose the right garden building for your needs
The best garden building is the one that suits how you plan to use it. Consider your available space, your storage requirements, and any hobbies or activities you'd like to enjoy. Investing in a quality timber building can add value, functionality, and enjoyment to your garden for years to come.
