HEX Living unveils leading range of premium-quality metal outdoor storage solutions

Set to have a lasting impact on the outdoor storage and garden furniture industry, Staffordshire based multi award-winning sheet metal manufacturing business, Alpha Manufacturing, has launched a brand-new subsidiary – HEX Living.

Unveiled today, the business has developed a range of unparalleled, premium-quality heavy duty metal sheds and storage solutions. Its first two products, Hixon – a huge 12,800L capacity shed, and Weston, a smaller, vertical unit, are now readily available to purchase online with a further nine products set to be added to the collection in the coming weeks. These include metal planters, deck boxes, horizontal storage units and four additional models of shed. Designed and manufactured with a steadfast commitment to quality, all products come with a Lifetime Warranty. HEX Living is currently the only outdoor metal storage solution manufacturer to offer this to customers.

As a subsidiary of Alpha Manufacturing, all HEX Living products will be designed and manufactured at the business’ impressive 80,000 sq. ft, state-of-the-art facility in Hixon, Staffordshire. “Aside from the design and high quality of our products, one of our real points of difference” Paul continues, “is that all of our products will be manufactured here in the UK. This gives us a real competitive advantage over our competitors whose products are largely imported from abroad.

“Thanks to the size of our manufacturing plant, we have the capacity to manufacture and hold large volumes of stock here in Staffordshire. This means we can deliver our products to anywhere in the country in just five working days and without expensive delivery charges, providing an excellent purchasing experience for our customers.”

HEX Living has already successfully secured a major retail partner who will be supplying its Weston and Hixon products online and through several of its stores in the very near future. The business will also be exhibiting at garden and outdoor living trade show Glee 2022 in June as well as summer outdoor exhibition SOLEX in July.

“We are really excited about the launch of HEX Living and the possibilities that lie ahead. We’ve invested significantly in research, design, production and marketing to get the product here today and cannot wait to showcase it to potential stockists at the events. We have also created our very own mobile showroom, converting an articulated trailer into a moving space that we can use to visit customers with our products up and down the country.”

Owners of any size garden – from vast country gardens to city gardens and small gardens – will know that keeping things neat and tidy requires an army of garden tools. Seasoned gardeners will know, too, that these garden tools need homes or else non weather-resistant garden furniture, garden accessories, lawnmowers and scattered trowels are going to become an unfortunate distraction from your planting.

Luckily, there are now plenty of garden storage solutions that are stylish as well as functional. A garden storage box can double as a garden bench if you add a seating pad, garden sheds can parade as eighteenth-century style follies, and bins can be tucked away out of sight in purpose-built bin stores. A small plastic storage box can be easily stored or double as a deck box, while bike stores are great for avid cyclists.

How do I choose the best garden storage?
A good garden storage unit will have enough space to store all your garden tools, lawn mowers, BBQ, sun loungers, wellies, extra seating, hoses and garden accessories. Bigger gardens, which consequently require bigger garden furniture sets and heftier gardening equipment, will require more heavy duty storage solutions like a garden shed, storage unit or bin store. At the other extreme, a deck box, garden storage box or plastic garden box will suffice for small gardens and patios. There are specialist garden storage solutions, too. Bike stores, bin stores or log stores all serve a specific purpose.

The very best forms of garden storage, no matter their size, will be lockable, water-resistant or weatherproof, have easy access and enough storage space to suit your needs. So, whether you need to store garden parasols or children’s’ playthings, or smaller items such as pots and outdoor cushions, we’ve tracked down some of the best garden storage to invest in this year: from miniature garden sheds to lovely looking garden benches.

Where to buy the best garden storage
For a more in depth guide, we suggest heading to our round up of the best garden furniture shops. For at a glance information, garden specialists like Lifetime, YardMaster, Keter and Rowlinson have plenty of garden storage solutions to address specific outdoor needs. Hex Living features heavy duty metal storage boxes.

Finding the right storage solution is paramount to keeping your garden and outdoor spaces summer ready. You just need to know where to look.

Top 5 Storage Solutions

The post Garden Storage Tips – 2022 first appeared on ShedMaster UK | Garden Sheds | Garden Buildings Installations.

Metal sheds are awesome! We feel that they are a great alternative to wooden sheds and can in some cases be more suitable for your garden. Well to make sure you know what you are getting into when buying a metal shed. We have put together this list of commonly asked questions about metal sheds.

Where To Buy Metal Sheds?
You have certainly come to the right place to ask this question! Not only have we installed many metal sheds. We have also made it a point to share with you who we feel are the best metal shed retailers. We have looked at who has the best selection, best prices and who has the easiest to use site! There are many great metal shed retailers out there, but our best metal shed retailers list makes finding them very easy. You can view our full range of metal sheds here https://shedmaster.co.uk/product-category/metal-sheds/

Which Are The Best Metal Sheds? – (what are the best metal sheds)
This is a bit of a tough question to answer as there are many great metal sheds. But to make finding the ideal metal shed for you easier. Here at Shed Master, we have made a tremendous top 20 metal sheds list. Where we look at metal sheds of all shapes, sizes and prices. These are the sheds which we feel are the very best of the best and the ones that would be fantastic in any garden.

What Are Metal Sheds Like?
Long gone are the days when all metal sheds look like a tin building you would see on an industrial site! While there are some metal sheds that still have that classic almost industrial kind of look. There are some such as the 10′ x 12′ Rowlinson Woodvale Metal Garden Shed which try to look more like a wooden shed. So if you want the benefits of a metal shed, but still want the look of a wooden one. Then that is something you can actually do. But if you like the steel and hard look of a traditional metal shed. You will find plenty in green, grey and brown that look great.

What Are Metal Sheds Made Of?
In most cases you are looking at some kind of steel. Galvanised steel, zinc plated steel or powder coated steel are the most common materials that you are going to see metal sheds made from. If you browse our metal sheds section then you will notice that we do mention many times the kind of materials that they are made from. A metal shed is made to be strong and we have yet to come across one that is made from weak materials.

Who Makes The Best Metal Sheds?
While it would be hard for us to pick just one brand. We have noticed that some manufacturers seem to be more into metal sheds than other. ABSCO, YardMaster, Asgard, Trentvale and Telluria all have an amazing selection of metal sheds. There are some others as well, but the four we have mentioned do have the largest selection of metal sheds. We always suggest you have a good look at all brands to ensure you get the metal shed that best suits your needs and your budget.

Who Makes Metal Sheds?
If you look at our metal sheds section then you will notice that certain names pop up time and time again. ABSCO, YARDMASTER, Trentvale and Asgard are the most common ones. Many companies will at the very least have a couple of metal sheds, but the ones we have mentioned are the main ones who like to make metal sheds.

Who Sells Metal Sheds?
Most retailers who sell garden buildings will have a section for metal sheds, but if not you can just type metal sheds into a retailer’s search engine to find them all. However to make your search easier and less frustrating. We have worked hard in our offices to put together a list of the top 10 metal shed retailers. This list will let you know where you will find the largest selection of metal sheds and who has the fairest prices as well.

How Safe Are Metal Sheds?
Metal sheds are very safe and many of them at the very least will come with a pad bolt. So even if they do not come with a lock and key. Adding a padlock is very easy and inexpensive. Many people think that a metal shed is more of a thief deterrent than a wooden one as they have a more imposing and stronger look that will put off a thief. Also metal sheds do not have any “panels” that can have small cracks or nooks and crannies that water could potentially seep in through. A metal shed will do a great job in keeping your belongings safe from the rain.

How Much Are Metal Sheds? – (how much do metal sheds cost)
Metal sheds are much cheaper than you may think. We have reviewed a great selection of metal sheds that come in at under £200. We have looked at many good mid sized sheds of around 6 x 4 that come in well under £200. At the same time there are some very extravagant and huge metal sheds such as the YardMaster 10×17 Metal Garage comes in close to £1000. So no matter what your budget is, you will find that there is a metal shed that is just right for you.

What Are Metal Sheds Like?
Here at Shed Master we love metal sheds. We feel that they offer everything that a wooden or plastic shed offers and they can be bought for a great price. You will also find that some of the much larger sheds out there are metal ones. A metal shed is great for those who want a storage space, workshop or garage that has a more industrial and workman’s type of look to it. We stock and install the YardMaster, Absco, HEX Living, Trentvale, Woodvale, Asgard and SafeStor Metal sheds.

Are Metal Sheds More Secure?– (are metal sheds secure, how secure are metal sheds)
Is a large shed secure if it’s made of metal or do they become flimsy? We feel that metal sheds do offer a lot of security and if you look at the metal sheds that have made our Top 20 Metal Sheds List. You will notice that high security is one of the reasons many of them have made the list. Many metal sheds will come with some kind of locking mechanism and those that don’t tend to have a pad bolt or at the very least an area that you can easily add a padlock to. If you want to get really extreme about it then let’s face it. A thief will have much harder time breaking into a metal shed than they would a wooden one.

Are Metal Sheds Rodent Proof?
We would never suggest that all metal sheds are 100 percent rodent proof. But think about it. A rat or a mouse is going to have a much harder time chewing through galvanised steel than he is wood or even plastic! So if you are worried about Mickey and Minnie setting up house in your shed. Then they will have a much harder time doing so in a metal shed. Of course a huge part of keeping rodents out of a metal shed is down to you. So make sure you keep food out, the door closed and that you install the shed properly so there is no way for any kind of critter to get inside!

Are Metal Sheds Waterproof?
People actually ask more often than you would think about water proof metal sheds. Now if you are wondering “will a metal shed rust?” then the answer to that is no. These are made with steel and then cover usually with some kind of powder coated paint, PVC or something else that is not going to become weak or damaged due to the rain. The majority of metal sheds that you will come across have a pent roof so they are designed so that the rain will run off the roof and not sit on the top.

Are Metal Sheds Noisy When It Rains?
Hey this is a totally valid question last thing you want is to be kept up at night by rain pounding off the shed roof! Now we feel that a metal shed is not going to make that whole much more noise than any other kind of shed. But of course it will depend on how heavy the rain is. Also another thing that will make a difference is the style of roof.

Are Metal Sheds Better Than Wood?
This is a really hard question to answer and of course we are going to be sitting on the fence a little bit. But if you look at our list of top 20 metal sheds, you will see that we do make it a point to mention some of the advantages that metal sheds have over wood. They are lower maintenance, easier to install and they have a very different look to a wooden shed. If you are worried about a wooden shed rotting or you forgetting to treat it once a year then for you a metal shed would perhaps be better.

Are Metal Sheds Any Good?
Yes. Next question…… ok being serious, we love metal sheds and have made it a point to look at metal sheds of all shapes and sizes and we can say that we honestly do feel that metal sheds are good. No matter if you want one just because they are lower maintenance or because you like the more industrial look of them. We are sure that you will be very happy with a metal shed.

How To Insulate Metal Sheds?
We debated on if we should include this question, but it is one that has been asked a few times so we thought we would. Most metal sheds will come to you with no insulation. As a matter of fact we are scratching our head trying to think of one metal she that has insulation. Anyway if you do want to put insulation into a metal shed then this would be something you would either have to do with yourself where you purchase the insulation and some boarding to contain it. Or you could ask one of the metal shed retailers if they could include some kind of insulation for the metal shed you are interested in.

How Safe Are Metal Sheds?
Metal sheds are just as if not safer than a regular wooden shed. A metal shed is going to look much tougher than a wooden one so a thief may just keep on walking by. Also it is very uncommon for a wooden shed to come with any kind of locking mechanism. But a metal shed usually at least comes with a pad bolt to which you can add a padlock. Many metal sheds actually come with a locking mechanism so anything you put inside one of these will be safe.

How Hot Do Metal Sheds Get?
This is a valid question and the easy answer is that they do not get very hot as we live in England. But being serious if the sun is really beating down on the shed and you are working inside it then yes it will get a little warm inside there. However if you do plan on getting not just a shed, but a metal workshop then you may want to make sure you leave a door open or even see about adding a window.

How To Assemble Metal Sheds?
Assembling metal sheds is not going to cause you too many headaches. For the most part you will be putting the metal panels together, screwing them in place and that is all there really is to it. With the help of a friend you will get through this in no time at all. Many people turn to a metal shed instead of a plastic one because they know it will be an easier time than a wooden shed.

However if you feel your DIY skills are lacking we do offer a professional installation service to build your shed.

How To Paint Metal Sheds?
You will probably notice when you look at all of the metal sheds we have reviewed that they have a certain style. Most have a somewhat industrial kind of look whereas some have been painted to give them some personality such as the Woodvale Metal Sheds which have been designed to resemble wood. Painting a metal shed while possible is not something we would recommend that you do. In some cases doing so may actually make your warranty invalid so be sure to look in that before you do.

How Long Do Metal Sheds Last?
Most metal sheds if installed properly will give you a lifetime of use. Most of the metal sheds that have made our top 20 metal sheds list. Come with a good warranty usually 10, 15 or even 20 which is awesome. But there are some that only come with a one year warranty which is a bit disappointing. Still in general a metal shed is going to be something that is going to last for many, many years. Plus as a bonus they do not require much if any maintenance.

Want to add value to your home by just updating the garden? These are the landscaping features you should focus on

When it comes to adding value to your home, you shouldn’t neglect garden landscaping. Far from being a nice-to-have but inessential addition, a well-landscaped, thought-through garden design can add a substantial amount of additional value to a house when you decide to sell it. However, it can be difficult to know where to begin with garden landscaping ideas, or you may have a limited budget. Fear not – you don’t have to spend enormous amounts redesigning you entire garden. Instead, focus on these three areas.

Patio paving

Garden paving, as it turns out, can do wonder for a house sale. Paving your garden with sandstone slabs will cost you on average £35-50 per square metre, so expect to pay hundreds, depending on the size of your patio, but the returns are spectacular. According to the National Association of Estate Agents, a well-executed patio will add up to £10,000 to the value of your home. The more unique and smart the patio, the closer you’ll get to that figure.

Garden Shed

A shed though not part of the hard landscaping, is an extremely attractive feature to house buyers. Of course, there are sheds and there are sheds, but the good news is that even a fairly small shed used for storage is an asset. Although a small shed will not add monetary value, it may well sway a buyer who’s choosing between two properties with gardens. If you want real value-adding potential, however, look to install a garden office shed – a larger structure with a window. It will cost you between £1,000-£3,000, but, according to My Tool Shed it can add up to £12,465 to to your home value.

Tall Fence

Buyers value garden privacy, and if your property already provides it with a substantial fence, they will be prepared to pay more. According to Harrow Fencing, ‘a well-maintained garden fence, installed by professionals, can increase the value of a property by about 20 per cent.’ Note the well-maintained bit; an old, crumbling fence covered in algae can have the opposite effect of putting off buyers. Expect to spend £,1000 or more on a brand new fence.

Altogether, these garden improvements can substantially add to the value of your home. As Ben Dyer, CEO of Powered Now(opens in new tab) says, ‘from my experience, garden landscaping is the number one home improvement project’ that can add value. Invest into your garden landscaping, and you will be rewarded.
