BUYING GUIDE:

A Metal Shed or a Wooden Shed?

A Metal Shed holds many advantages over a wooden sheds.  A major factor in many minds, especially those conscious of their budget, will be that metal sheds tend to offer better value for money than an equivalent sized wooden shed. Where a small budget is a controlling factor in choice of garden shed, a metal shed is quite likely to win the day due to its better value.

In addition to this, metal sheds are relatively easy to erect, and due to their light build can usually be located anywhere where there is a firm, level base.

Other than an occasional hose down, metal sheds require far less maintenance than their wooden shed counterparts, and like wooden builds, are also available in a wide range of sizes and styles, including flat, pent-style roofs, and apex roofed metal sheds.
Another significant advantage of metal sheds is their durability, their resistance to rodents and termites, and also that metal sheds are almost completely fire retardant.

Despite recent improvements in steel units, a Wooden Shed is still a great storage solution for your home or business. Not least the view in many minds that wooden garden sheds, thanks to the natural materials used, tend to blend into the garden more aesthetically than their metal shed counterparts. Whilst metal sheds are usually tucked away in a corner of the garden, a traditional wooden shed can add a little rustic charm to your garden.

Whilst wooden sheds require a much higher level of maintenance than metal sheds in terms of yearly treatment (to ensure the manufacturers rot warranty is not invalidated), a good quality wooden shed is built to withstand knocks and bumps from lawnmowers and stray football much more than a metal shed, and is also better able to withstand high winds and bad weather without the noise factor often experienced with metal sheds.

Your choice of wooden shed versus metal shed will obviously depend on your individual garden storage requirements, in terms of the storage capacity you require, your budget, and whether you are happy to spend a little time and effort in maintaining the traditional, rustic appearance of a wooden shed in order to keep it in good condition.
