Tips for choosing my ideal kennel

Before you make a decision about which kennel is perfect for you, you should think about what you want to use it for. The things you will store in it will determine the size and material you should choose.

If you’re planning to store garden furniture, a portable barbecue or perhaps a lawnmower, you’ll need a larger shed to accommodate all these bulky items. It will also allow you to store everything from children’s summer games such as inflatable pools and floats to bicycles and mini scooters.

Another reason to choose a large shed, from 5m² upwards, is that it is an annexe to your home and you can use it as your DIY workshop, where you can keep all your tools and a space to give free rein to your creativity.

In addition to the size, the choice of material is very important. There are different options such as metal, wood or plastic and depending on your needs there will be one that is best for you.

If you choose a metal shed, you will have a product that is resistant to corrosion and knocks. It is also worth noting that metal cabins are easy to maintain, as they only need to be repaired and repainted every 50 years or so to keep them in good condition. Convenient, isn’t it?

In addition, metal sheds are very easy to clean, just dampen a cloth with cleaning vinegar to leave it shiny. They are also lightweight, which makes them easy to transport and install.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for an insulating option, wooden sheds are what you are looking for. However, you should bear in mind that they will require regular maintenance, otherwise they will deteriorate quickly and cleaning will be more complex.

Finally, there is the option made of plastic or resin, which is very light and easy to install, and is also the cheapest option. However, it is worth mentioning that it will discolour and deteriorate quickly in direct sunlight.

Now you have all the information you need to answer the questions that will help you choose your ideal shed. Do you prefer a large or small shed? Made of metal, wood or plastic?

We are sure that your decision will be the right one and you will enjoy an extra space where you can keep all your things organized and protected.
