Total Sheds

Total Sheds, garden shed manufacturer in the West Midlands

Total Sheds is a British garden building manufacturer with its own workshop in the West Midlands, active since 1995. The company presents itself as a family-run business producing wooden and composite sheds, with quality control from timber selection through to final inspection before dispatch. Its catalogue ranges from standard sheds to larger garden cabins, and the company sells both in the UK and Ireland.

Catalogue of sheds and garden buildings

The range is organised into two main material families. The timber line includes apex sheds, pent sheds, security sheds, potting sheds, glass greenhouses, dog kennels, garden bars and outdoor kitchens. The composite line comprises composite sheds, composite security sheds, full-height summer houses, summer houses, apex and pent potting sheds, and composite garden bars. It also has a collection of garden cabins called Total Cabins.

Among the most popular sizes are the 6 x 4, 7 x 5, 8 x 6, 10 x 6, 10 x 8 and 12 x 8 ft formats. The catalogue shows examples such as an 8x6 pent composite shed with a single door and no windows, with an internal height of 1887 mm at the front and 1757 mm at the rear, or an 8x6 apex timber shed with double doors and no windows, with 1757 mm at the eaves and 2285 mm at the ridge.

Online configurator and live pricing

The company offers a design tool called Shed Builder, which allows you to define the footprint, choose between timber or composite and select the roof style. Users can arrange doors and windows panel by panel, view the design in 3D, add extras and check the updated price in real time before saving or sharing the project. The design service is free and requires no commitment to purchase. For timber pent sheds, the configurator allows you to add a free 1ft front canopy. Cabin layouts are fixed and chosen separately.

The company has added two additional configurators in beta phase: one for bin stores, which adjusts the modular dimensions according to bin size (from 140 to 360 litres), and another for kennels and aviaries, which allows you to arrange modules, exercise areas and pens for dogs, cats or birds.

Total Cabins: garden cabins

The Total Cabins collection is presented as a range of solidly built garden cabins, with 44 mm pressure-treated logs, an insulated warm roof and aluminium tilt-and-turn windows. The company states that the collection is available in eleven sizes and that prices start from £4,683.46, including VAT and delivery to mainland Great Britain. The estimated delivery time for cabins is 8 to 10 weeks and includes detailed assembly instructions. Installation by the company's team is available for £1,500 on a base prepared by the customer.

Materials, warranties and manufacturing

The company uses FSC-certified timber, selected for the quality of its grain and its structural integrity, cut to precise tolerances and hand-assembled. The tanalisation process is applied to extend the product's lifespan for decades. The advertised warranties are 15 years for timber sheds, 25 years for Total Cabins and 30 years for composite products. Composite sheds incorporate an EPDM roof and include the longest warranty in the catalogue.

The company states that every building is inspected before leaving the workshop and that manufacturing is carried out entirely at its West Midlands facility. The timber comes from responsibly managed sources.

Delivery and assembly

Total Sheds offers free delivery across mainland Great Britain for all its buildings. The stated lead times are 2 to 5 working days for sheds and 8 to 10 weeks for cabins. The company notes that most customers assemble sheds in an afternoon and provides assembly videos and manuals for each panel. It also offers the option of hiring its own team for installation.

Trade show presence and product display

The company took part in Glee 2026, the garden industry trade show held at the NEC in Birmingham, where it presented nine themed spaces, including a garden library, a garden bar, a lounge, an outdoor kitchen, a bright garden room, a modern interior, an evening retreat, a games room and a potting shed. The company clarifies that these buildings are dressed for display and that orders include only the building and the selected options, without furniture, decoration, lighting or equipment unless stated in the product listing.
