Kit set garden sheds

Everyone knows how useful a garden shed is. Even if you are not a gardener, a shed is great for keeping the kids’ bikes out of the rain, as a workshop or hobby room, or for storing all the household

junk that is still too good to throw out.

Perhaps the easiest and most economical way to add a shed to your property is with one of the kit set designs on the market at the moment.

Made from galvanised steel, they are strong, light and very easy to assemble, while the range of designs lets you choose the size and shape that best suits your family’s requirements.

Some novel purposes have been found for this versatile type of garden shed. They leave the distributors’ yards destined to become roadside stalls, barbecue houses, sleepcuts, summerhouses, studios. . . even holiday cabins.

One design can be used as a garage, with enough room left round the sides for storage and easy access. The cost saving of this particular design is remarkable: a normal block garage can cost up to $2OOO, but the garden shed equivalent costs about $5OO. Several of the sheds

have been designed specifically as poolside or barbecue houses, with colourful paintwork, wide-open-ing doors and lots of window's. They make the ideal windbreak, chaning room and storage area for outdoor living. On a similar principle to kitset sheds, kitset glasshouses are becoming increasingly popular, as food prices rise and people become aware of the joys of “growing your own.”

Kitset glasshouses are available as big, or as small, as you need, from the mini-glasshouse, just big enough for a cucumber vine or a row of strawberries, through a variety of lean-to shapes, to the large sizes that really keen gardeners need. In your choice of galvanised metal or enammelled finishes, kitset glasshouses are long-lasting, economical and a permanent asset to any garden. Start planning now, and come the spring, your family will be enjoying the fruits of your labours.
