The Big Shed Question!!!!

In many households, there will come a time when you’ll get fed up of propping your bike up next to the kitchen sink, or sick of cleaning up the messy trail of dirt coming in through the back door when you’ve been gardening, or when your gardening tools have been pinched when you leave them out in the garden. That is when you decide that its time to get yourself a new outdoor storage shed. But it doesn’t end there, now the question is – which is the right garden shed for me?

There are a variety of sheds available in a range of shapes, styles and sizes these days. Now, the old fashioned flimsy wooden garden sheds have been replaced by the next generation of garden sheds – heavy duty all-metal garden storage sheds. Made from galvanised steel, these metal storage units tend to be much more secure and long-lasting then the wooden units.


Wooden Vs Metal Garden Shed

TOP 3 things to look out for…

1. Security

The main advantage of a metal garden shed is its security. Whereas design a wooden shed is weak and can be simply “kicked” in, a metal storage unit with a metal roof and metal doors is very robust due to its reinforced panels. An Asgard metal storage unit has integral stiffeners, internal shoot bolts in the larger models, double folded joints, hidden fixings, integral all metal floors, industry standard metal locking and ground anchor points. Added to this our internal roof clips on selected models and you really have the maximum security possible

DID YOU KNOW?

Many of the Asgard metal Storage units are Loss Prevention Board Certified (which may reduce your insurance premiums*)

2. Maintenance

You’d be surprised about the amount of maintenance an ordinary wooden shed needs. Wooden sheds are vulnerable to the weather and may require regular repainting, repairing leaks, replacing rotting panels, re-felting of the roof. Over the years, a wooden shed would require constant care and these costs do add up.

In comparison, metal storage sheds are very low maintenance. The Asgard metal storage units will not rot or leak, and other than a periodic wipe down and oiling the hinges, the Asgard metal storage units are virtually maintenance free. The unique hidden ventilation system reduces condensation in the units, which means no re-roofing, or re-sealing is required.

3. Weight

One thing to note is that good quality metal storage units are heavy. Compared to a wooden shed, which framework is mainly wood panelling, the Asgard metal sheds are made from galvanised steel and are very heavy, with some of the units weigning in at over 50 stone. However, with weight comes quality and security. You can be sure that no burglars can easily lift the roof off an Asgard unit or kick in the doors. With Asgard units you can choose to fix your unit to the floor using our (included) fixing kits, then you will have maximum security for your tools and equipment
