Often at the heart of your outdoor space, keeping everything ordered and organised, while adding character and charm, your garden shed is so much more than somewhere to store your lawnmower! As a family-run business specialising in quality timber garden sheds and bespoke designs, Sutton Sheds understands just how important it is to know the right time to upgrade to anew shed. Here are the main signs to look out for.
Structural damage and rot in your shed
This is the biggest telltale sign that you need a new shed is if the structure is beginning to fail. While timber is naturally durable, decades of exposure to the elements will ultimately cause rot. Warning signs include soft spots in the wood, sagging panels, or gaps that let in draughts and water. At this point, repairs may no longer be enough - a replacement shed will look better and also keep your belongings safe and dry.
A damaged or leaking shed roof
The roof is your shed’s first line of defence against the elements. Where the roof felt becomes damaged, water will have a direct route into the shed where mould and decay will develop. Small repairs can be made to a shed roof but where damage is widespread, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a new timber garden shed with a strong, weather-resistant roof.
Outgrowing your wooden shed
Families grow, new hobbies evolve, and your garden needs change. If your shed suddenly feels too small or cramped, you may simply have outgrown it! Your once perfect storage solution may need an upgrade. Whatever your new requirements, our custom build, bespoke service can deliver a garden structure designed to match your exact requirements. Our sheds in Lincolnshire can be made to measure, giving you a practical solution tailored to your lifestyle.
Is your shed still secure?
If your shed has seen better days, its windows and doors may be outdated or flimsy. This compromises the safety of whatever you are storing in your shed and let’s face it, the cost of replacing lawnmowers and garden furniture etc. could be eyewatering. With security a top priority, a new wooden shed with sturdy doors and windows, will put your mind at rest that your belongings are safe.
Does your shed still look good in your garden?
Your shed doesn’t have to be damaged for you to replace it with a new one. Sometimes age can take its toll and your shed may be looking tired and weather-worn. A shabby-looking garden shed will spoil the entire look of your outside space but, by upgrading to a bespoke timber garden shed, you can complement your garden with a better functioning structure. At Sutton Sheds in Lincolnshire we take pride in crafting sheds that blend seamlessly with your garden, adding charm as well as practicality.
Why choose a bespoke, custom-build shed?
No two gardens are the same and nor are the needs of each household. With the bespoke service from Sutton Sheds, you can decide on whatever size, layout, and finishes suit your individual needs. A custom-built wooden garden shed is an investment that will serve you for many years to come, while adding value to your home.
