UK Shed It

UK Shed It: pressure-treated timber sheds made in Yorkshire

UK Shed It is a family-run business based in Yorkshire that has traded for over 20 years, supplying pressure-treated timber garden sheds to its local community and, more recently, selling the same range online to customers across the UK mainland. The company describes its move to e-commerce as a natural progression from its local trade.

Its sheds are manufactured by its own team of craftsmen in a Yorkshire workshop, using tongued and grooved boarding together with matchboard for the floor and ceiling. The range is built around two roof styles, apex and pent, and is presented as pressure treated throughout.

Shed styles and configurations

The catalogue is organised by roof type, door and window configuration, and size. The main families are:

• Apex garden sheds, with a peaked roof.
• Pent garden sheds, with a single-slope roof.
• Alleyway sheds, designed for narrow access.
• Bike sheds.
• Workshop sheds.

Buyers can filter by roof style, by doors (double doors or single door) and by windows (sheds with windows or windowless models). Sizes are listed both in metric and imperial terms, from 1.5 x 2.5 m and 3ft models up to 9ft sheds, with small, medium and large categories. The largest units cited are 9ft x 8ft, which the company presents as suitable for garden tools, bikes and furniture.

Best-selling models and pricing shown

At the time of writing this profile, the top-selling list included four discounted apex sheds: a 7ft x 9ft model with two side windows and double doors at £1,011.00 (reduced from £1,214.00); an 8ft x 6ft windowless shed with double doors at £826.00 (from £990.00); a 7ft x 7ft shed with two side windows and double doors at £849.00 (from £1,019.00); and an 8ft x 8ft windowless shed with double doors at £986.00 (from £1,184.00). The same four models appeared again in the latest sheds section. A site banner announced a flash sale with savings of up to 20% across all sheds and a supply and delivery lead time of 5 to 10 working days.

Materials, sourcing and guarantee

According to the company, all timber is responsibly sourced and contains a minimum of 70% wood from well-managed forests in accordance with Forest Stewardship Council rules. Garden buildings are pressure treated and carry a guarantee of up to 15 years. The product pages and blog also address tanalised timber, including guidance on its behaviour in spring, summer and winter.

Delivery, assembly and accessories

Delivery to UK mainland addresses is free, and the sheds are presented as easy to assemble, with separate pent and apex assembly instructions published on the site. The accessories range includes shelving kits and bolted shed base frames. The blog covers practical topics such as preparing the ground for a shed and choosing the right shed for a garden.

Customer feedback cited on the site

The site reproduces several customer comments. A landscaper describes the company as a decent family-run firm producing high-quality structures and compares it favourably with DIY stores on price. Another customer mentions speaking with Maxine, described as knowledgeable about the sheds. A third refers to a call about a week after ordering to confirm door placement and hinge position, followed by a delivery date and time. A fourth highlights the difference in quality compared with a cheaper shed considered elsewhere. These are individual testimonials and are presented as such.
