Construction Quality
With perfect scores across the board in material quality, construction, ease of assembly, and overall value for money, it’s clear that this product has been expertly designed and crafted. The utilization of shiplap tongue & groove cladding—ranked as one of the best by our experts—provides an excellent barrier against moisture while ensuring a sleek appearance. Additionally, the walls are a robust 12mm thick, reinforcing the shed’s structural integrity, making it suitable for various climates.
Roofing and Flooring
The hd wefs roofing material is another highlight; our experts deem it one of the top roofing materials available, providing solid protection against the elements. It features 12.0mm thick roof boarding, which, while not common in standard products, enhances both durability and insulation.
As for the flooring, the use of OSB material is fairly standard but offers an adequate level of stability for everyday use. Although it’s not rated the highest among flooring options, the OSB flooring performs adequately for the intended purpose—storing tools and equipment.
Height and Accessibility
While the shed stands at a height of 1520mm (5′), which is approximately 20% less than the average for similar models, it still provides enough headroom for most gardening tools. However, keep in mind that the door dimensions—1,135mm (4′) in height and 650mm (2′) in width—are 44% and 13% shorter than the average, respectively.
These dimensions may influence accessibility, especially for bulkier items, but the single door does allow for easier maneuverability for smaller tools.
Value for Money
Retailing at prices ranging from £249.99 to £299, this storage solution is competitively priced considering its quality and features. Compared to 95 other sheds in the same dimensions category, this product holds an Expert Score that is 12% higher than average while being significantly less expensive than many competitors.
Market Compared

For those in high-wind areas or coastal locations, it’s worth considering alternative options that feature thicker cladding or materials designed to withstand harsher conditions. However, this model’s pressure-treated wood provides decent protection against varying weather patterns.
