Welcome to a new entry in our blog.
On this occasion, we will dive into a essential topic for anyone thinking about installing a shed or shed in the outdoor area of their home: what do I need to know before I get started.
Whether you’re planning an extra storage space, a workshop or just a cosy corner in your garden, here are the 5 most important things to know before you get started. Let’s get started!
- Space planning: Before buying any shed, it is vital to carefully plan where you will place it in your garden. Assess the size of the space available and ensure that the shed does not obstruct access to other areas of your garden or terrace. Consider the door opening, wind direction or window location to maximise the comfort and functionality of the shed.
- Regulations and permits: In many areas, the installation of structures such as sheds may be subject to local regulations, building codes and permit requirements. Be sure to research and comply with all applicable regulations before you begin assembly. This will save you trouble and ensure that your shed meets the appropriate standards.
- Choosing the material of your shed: There are a lot of materials on the market, but the 3 main ones are metal, wood and plastic. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, maintenance and aesthetics. Research the available options and choose a material that suits your needs and your garden environment. In our blog you will find other posts that will help you make the best decision.
- Skill level and time: The assembly of booths can vary in terms of complexity. Some booths come in kits that make transportation very convenient, but then take longer to assemble. Casi todos los montajes son relativamente fáciles, las diferencias radican en el tiempo que estes dispuesto a invertir en montaje. Almost all assemblies are relatively easy, the differences lie in how much time you are willing to invest in assembly. Whatever you decide, remember that you will be installing any fixed storage element one day and then enjoying it for years to come, so don’t get carried away with the hours of assembly and choose the shelter or material you really want based on other factors such as aesthetics or durability.
- Ground preparation: Before assembling the shelter, it is crucial to properly prepare the ground. Levelling the area and establishing a solid base, such as a concrete slab or sill, will help ensure the stability and durability of the structure. A good base will also protect the shed from moisture and premature deterioration. Don’t forget to have all the tools recommended in the manual to hand and ask a friend or family member to help you, as it often takes at least 2 people to carry out the work.
In short, setting up a garden shed can be an exciting and rewarding project. But proper planning, preparation and attention to detail are essential to ensure the process is successful.
