What preparation do I have to do before buying a shed?
You will need a solid level base for all our metal / steel garden sheds. Always install a DPM Sheet(Damp Proof Membrane) under your base to prevent rising damp. A DPM lining is important under your base to prevent condensation build up. See out base guide for our base tips.
Our Wooden sheds require a reasonably level base. Our fitters will supply blocs to level the area up prior to assembly.
Does the Floor come with the steel garden shed?
With all our metal garden sheds we include a galvanised steel floor support frame as standard. When you opt for our assembly service, an 18mm OSB board is included in the price and installed as your internal flooring leaving you ready to use your shed immediately. Please note you will still need a solid level base to the full surface area underneath your metal shed. The OSB is not supplied with flat pack delivery option.
Should I buy a metal shed if I'm near the sea?
No, Metal sheds are not recommended for coastal areas due to salt air reacting with the galvanised / power coated finish and can cause corrosion on the panels and frame.
Can you install electrics or plumbing in my shed?
We don’t offer electrical or plumbing services on our products. We would not recommend drilling holes or altering your shed panels as this can cause premature ageing / corrosion.

Can condensation be improved on a metal shed?
The short answer is yes! All our sheds have ventilation to help reduce condensation and our Mammoth range comes with full anti-con liners on the wall and roof to significantly reduce condensation.

It might be worth considering some simple insulation on the roof, like foil backed insulation boards or foil insulation roll to help elevate moisture forming.
