A metal garden shed is the answer to your garden storage problems if you are looking for a storage solution that is cost-effective, long lasting and low maintenance.

Unlike wooden sheds, a metal shed requires virtually no maintenance, it will not rot and is weatherproof, rodent proof, insect proof and fireproof.

Metal garden sheds are also more secure than their wooden counterparts – an important consideration if you have valuable items to store.

But there is a bewildering choice of metal sheds on the market so how can you be confident that you are making the right choice?

If you’ve already had a look around for a suitable metal garden shed you will know that prices vary widely although it’s not always obvious why.

I hope the information below will help you identify key features, including those that you can expect to pay more for.

Key Features to Look For in a Metal Garden Shed
Rustproof materials
Rust is the greatest enemy of any metal building and your metal garden shed won’t last long if it hasn’t been manufactured from rust proofed materials.

Whatever your budget, look for a shed made from either hot dipped galvanized steel or aluminum, and finished in a baked-on polyester enamel or a tough vinyl coating to further protect it from the elements.

Check also that all nuts, bolts, screws and other fixings are corrosion resistant.

Manufacturer’s guarantee
A good guide to the quality of materials used in each model is the length of the manufacturer’s guarantee. These typically run from 10 years to 15 years, and even, in some cases, 25 years!

This gives a good indication of the longevity you can expect from your shed. Of course many metal garden sheds will last a lot longer than this which compares very favourably with their wooden counterparts.

The framing
The majority of metal sheds are built around a galvanized steel frame (although some aluminium sheds are wood framed). The frame provides the skeleton of the shed and gives it its strength.

Models with heavy duty framing will be more robust, and, of course, more expensive.

Tip: If you live in an area subject to heavy snowfalls or high winds, look for a metal storage shed with a snow or wind load rating. Some manufacturers also supply optional strengthening or ‘storm’ kits for their sheds.

The walls or cladding
The walls are constructed from sheet metal panels attached to the outside of the frame. The thickness of these panels is a major factor in determining the resilience and durability of your metal shed. Thinner sheet materials are usually ribbed or corrugated to increase their strength and rigidity.

Typical thickness values run from 0.25mm, for a low cost budget shed suitable for storing general gardening odds and ends, to 1.2mm for a much more expensive top of the range security shed to house your expensive power tools and ride on mower.

Doors, locks and security
Your metal garden shed can have sliding doors or regular hinged doors. Some larger units may also have ‘up and over’ garage style doors

Which style you choose is a matter of personal preference but make sure that the opening is wide enough for you to get larger items in and out easily. If you choose hinged doors you will have to allow enough clearance for the doors to open fully.

Most metal sheds come with some sort of door locking mechanism but if you intend to store valuable items look for doors with at least a three point, or better still, a five point locking mechanism as these are much harder to break into.

Other high security features may include steel lock housings, reinforced doors and door surrounds, reinforced joints and integral steel floors. These add to the cost but may be worth it to keep your expensive equipment safe.

Ventilation
Condensation can be a problem with any metal shed so look for a model with some form of ventilation system that allows a decent airflow.

Optional extras
Some manufacturers supply a wide range of optional extras including access ramps (important if you are storing heavy equipment!), and integrated shelves and racking systems which allow you to easily fit out the interior of your shed to suit your exact requirements.

Other Points to Consider…
Foundations
Many of the problems associated with metal garden sheds are the result of inadequate foundations.

All but the smallest metal garden sheds need foundations of some sort, and these need to be level and to incorporate a damp proofing membrane to reduce condensation problems.

Uneven foundations make it difficult to erect your shed easily, create a strain on the fixings and allow the ingress of water.

You can either prepare a foundation yourself using pressure treated timber bearers or sleepers, paving stones, or a poured concrete slab, or you can look for a shed model with an optional foundation kit which can make the job a whole lot easier.

All reputable shed manufacturers and suppliers will give you advice on the best type of foundation to use for their metal sheds.

Floors
The majority of metal sheds also do not come complete with a floor.

If you choose to build a paving stone or concrete slab foundation, this can also do duty as the floor surface.

Other types of foundation will need a separate floor of wood or OSB board. You can construct your own or buy one of the optional floor kits supplied by most metal shed manufacturers.

Anchoring your metal shed
Metal sheds are relatively light for their size and need anchoring to the ground or foundations in some way. Most manufacturers will supply suitable anchoring kits that either screw into the ground (augers) or bolt into paving or concrete foundations.

If you do not take the trouble to anchor your shed there is a real risk of it shifting, or even blowing away in strong winds!

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.

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.

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.

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.
