What Cladding Types Do We Offer?
Choosing the right type of cladding for your building affects its strength, maintenance need, and the price of the building. Make sure you’re clued up before buying.
Tongue & Groove Sheds
A shed made from tongue and groove panels offers a tight seal for premium weather resistance.
Tongue and groove sheds describe their construction style. Interlocking panels of cladding are used for the walls and roofing of both pent and apex roof types. Tongue and groove panels are stronger and much more reliable than overlap panels, but are more expensive. Tongue and groove panels use the joining of a notch (tongue) into a groove (rabbet) to create a single flat surface on the outside of the shed.
This creates an outdoor building that is much less susceptible to water ingress or wind damage. We offer cladding in either 11mm or 19mm thicknesses for many of our designs, which makes them significantly thicker than their counterparts. If you're after an insulated model, start with thermal regulation provided by Tongue and Groove cladding.
Our two best-selling tongue and groove shed ranges are the Expert range and the Master. At first glance, they look very similar. There is one difference, though, between the two. The Expert range features braced double doors, which makes manoeuvring large objects in and out of the building a breeze. Both are available in a range of sizes and have great customisable features for you to pick from.
Overlap Cladding
Our overlap sheds still utilise quality wood and come at unbeatable prices. Overlap cladding is a cheaper alternative that's great for both small and large buildings. If you're working to a budget, browse our affordable deals on cheap sheds with overlap panels today.
Overlap panels are individual horizontal boards that overlap each other. When nailed into place, this allows rainwater to run off your outdoor shed, all whilst protecting it against water ingress. Overlap models are sturdy, affordable, and still offer solid protection against inclement weather.
Pressure Treatment
At Garden Buildings Direct, you'll also find options for BillyOh pressure-treated garden sheds. This option involves sealing the timber in a vacuum before preservatives are added. The vacuum forces the preservatives deep into the grain of the wood. This ensures that it'll last much longer and need less maintenance. It can also save you money in the long run compared to non-pressure-treated timber. This is because you'd have to treat it yourself with wood treatment products.
Pressure-treating our timber is also a more environmentally friendly option because it requires less energy and maintenance than other methods. As the wood will last longer, it can reduce strains on the timber industry, deforestation, and the climate.
Which Roof Styles Can You Choose From?
We offer three distinct roof styles: apex, reverse apex, and pent.
Apex Roofs
An apex roof has two slopes that meet at their highest point in the centre of the roof. The two slopes fall away to either side. The roof is shaped like a capital ‘A' (think A for Apex) and is very common among outdoor garden buildings. Apex sheds or reverse apex sheds have the same style roof, just rotated ninety degrees so the slopes fall to the front and back of the building.
Pent Roofs
If you're after a more modern look, you may want to go for a pent roof shed. Whereas an apex roof has two slopes, a pent wooden shed only has one and appears almost flat to the untrained eye. Pent roofs slope towards the back of your shed (away from the door). This ensures adequate rainwater runoff. Stylish and modern, the headroom inside a pent building is at the lowest point at the bottom of the slope. It's worth taking this into account when you're deciding on which style of roof best suits your needs.
Sizes
Here at Garden Buildings Direct, we offer a range of Garden Buildings in a variety of sizes. From large to small, and everything in between, all our products are made from high-quality materials.

What Are the Uses Of a Garden or Hobby Shed?
One of the great benefits of a garden shed is its versatility. You can use them for almost anything. Make it a modest storage space, a workout space, or a state-of-the-art home cinema. There are endless ways to utilise this classic building, with unlimited potential for turning it into a Hobby shed. Adding a few decorations and some furniture can transform a small outdoor space. Or you can go full-functional and use it as useful garden storage- for garden tools or garden equipment.
Do We Offer A Protective Guarantee?
Yes, all of our tongue and groove garden sheds for sale come with a 10-year guarantee. This covers them against rot, decay, and insect infestation. Made from high-quality materials, our kits are easy to assemble. They'll be protected against water ingress and even harsh UK weather conditions.
Can You Assemble Our Sheds Yourself?
We don't offer an assembly service with our Sheds. But that's because they're so easy to construct! We send you a digital instruction manual as soon as you've made your order. Once your new building is delivered, you'll only need a few hours and a helper to get it up and running.
