6 Superb Small Garden Sheds That Are All Big on Quality

When people use the term ‘small sheds’, exactly what size of shed do they mean? Well, although there are no hard and fast rules governing shed size, we tend to refer to anything up to and including 8x6 sheds, which is the nation’s most popular size of shed, as small.

Sheds in this size bracket are incredibly popular with our customers, and not just amongst those with smaller gardens. They are bought to supplement people’s existing larger sheds too, when additional garden storage space is required. Small sheds can also prove useful if you want to give more delicate types of garden furniture their own dedicated storage space, so that they’re protected from items with sharp or jagged edges.

Whatever your reason for needing a small shed, you’ll be delighted to know that you’re in exactly the right place to find one. That’s because here, at B&M, we stock a fabulous range of small sheds for sale, at extremely competitive prices.

If you’d like an idea of the type of small sheds we have to offer, here are 6 of our bestsellers…

4' x 6' Palram Canopia Grey Skylight Pent Plastic Shed (1.17m x 1.77m)

Thanks to its space-saving lean-to design, this small plastic shed can be positioned unobtrusively against a wall or fence, leaving the rest of your garden free to use for other purposes.

The shed is made from high-spec polycarbonate, supported by a reinforced aluminium frame, so although light in weight, it is robust, durable and completely weatherproof. These polycarbonate panels are UV protected too, so will neither fade nor discolour in the sun.

The floor and roof are also constructed from premium polycarbonate. The former is designed with anti-slip properties, while the latter features a shingled skylight design, which allows natural light to filter into the shed.

So, if you want a small shed that’s cleverly designed and built to last, this 4x6 plastic shed ticks all the right boxes.

8' x 6' Forest Beckwood 25yr Guarantee Shiplap Pressure Treated Double Door Reverse Apex Wooden Shed (2.42m x 1.99m)

With their fully-modular designs, pressure-treated wood and market-leading 25-year guarantees, Forest Beckwood sheds enjoy all the major benefits of the company’s 4Life models. That said, they also come with a series of high-end features to make them even better!

Beckwood shed upgrades begin with their walls’ shiplap cladding, which is noticeably stronger and far more stylish than overlap models. What’s more, shiplap’s interlocking seal gives these sheds genuine weather-beating qualities, so your valuable stored items will remain exceptionally well protected in all conditions.

Built from the finest 12mm tongue and groove, Beckwood floors are a definite upgrade too. They are easily able to accommodate your heavier stored items and cope with regular footfall.

This 8x6 shed also features more secure doors and higher-quality glazing than 4Life models. The former are ledged, braced and fitted with a pad bolt, while the latter are made from 3mm acrylic, which, as well as being scratch resistant, is both stronger and clearer than other forms of plastic glazing.

8' x 5' Yardmaster TopLight Pent Metal Shed (2.38m x 1.59m)

This small metal shed derives its name from the Perspex strip found just below its roofline. The beauty of this design is that while it provides the interior with natural light, it also hides the shed’s contents from unwanted attention. This emphasis on security is evident in other areas of the shed too.

Firstly, the walls and roof present no weak spots, whatsoever, for thieves to exploit. They’re constructed from hot-dipped, resin-coated galvanised steel, so are robust, durable, and will neither succumb to rust nor pests, with zero maintenance required.

The shed doors also showcase a high level of security. Designed to overlap, for a tighter seal, they are fitted with anti-tamper bolts and a padlock fixing to keep valuable stored items safe (padlock not included).

Other notable features include a modern pent-style roof, stunning anthracite-grey finish, and anchor kit to secure the shed to a concrete or paved base.

Wind resistant to 100kmph (62mph), snow-load tested to 110kg/ m2 (22.5lbs/ ft2) and able to withstand temperatures ranging from -35C to 110C, it really is supremely weathertight too.

You can gain easy access to the shed’s interior via wide double doors, which are fitted with a pad bolt to keep everything safe (padlock not included), while the skylight roof panels provide plenty of natural light for when you’re depositing and retrieving your stored items.

Easy to assemble and completely maintenance free, this premium plastic shed comes with a 12-year manufacturer’s warranty.
