Timber Sheds

Timber Sheds: wooden garden buildings with delivery and installation

Timber Sheds is a UK retailer of timber garden buildings trading from Unit 19 Hurricane Way in Wickford, Essex. The company states that it was established in 1971 and presents its sheds as built to last, positioning itself around year-round value rather than seasonal offers. Its catalogue is organised into four main families: summerhouses, wooden sheds, bike storage sheds and heavy duty sheds, with a separate line of larger "Super Summerhouses".

What the catalogue covers

The wooden shed range is grouped by footprint, from compact 4×3 and 4×4 models up to 18×10 buildings. Within that range the site lists both pent sheds, with the door at the front left or front right and in some cases a window, and apex sheds with a gable end door. Several product pages carry customer ratings, such as 4.67 out of 5 for a 4×3 pent shed and 5.00 out of 5 for an 8×8 pent shed with window.

Alongside the general-purpose sheds, the shop devotes a specific line to bike and bin storage. These are narrow timber units offered in 6×3, 7×3, 7×4 and 8×3 sizes, intended for storing bicycles or wheelie bins at the side of a property.

Summerhouses are listed by size from 6×4 up to 18×8, and the range extends to larger timber cabins. One customer review describes a 24ft x 14ft 68mm cabin fitted out as a home gym, which indicates that the company handles buildings well beyond the standard shed format.

Prices and promotions shown on the site

At the time of writing this profile, the shop displayed discounted prices on several lines, with reductions of between 10% and 40% against the original price. Examples included a 4×3 pent shed at £243 reduced from £405, a 4×4 apex shed at £309 reduced from £515, and an 8×8 pent shed with window at £851 reduced from £945. Bike and bin stores appeared at £319 for the 7×3, £333 for the 6×4, £347 for the 7×4 and £354 for the 8×3 model. All prices were shown inclusive of VAT. The site also advertised a 5% discount across all orders with the code GARDEN5, framed as part of a wider sale.

Delivery coverage and postcode check

Timber Sheds delivers across a range of postcode areas rather than nationwide without restriction. The website includes a postcode checker so that customers can confirm whether their address falls inside the standard delivery area. The company notes that addresses outside that area are not automatically excluded and that its team will assess whether a delivery can be arranged. One published review refers to a repeat customer outside the standard delivery range for whom the company agreed to travel further than usual.

Installation and practical guidance

Installation is part of the service described on the site. Customers report teams arriving on a scheduled day and erecting buildings in a few hours, from roughly two hours for a single shed to under five hours for a summerhouse, with two buildings put up in under three hours in one case. The same reviews mention that installers left the site clean and that advice was given on getting the best use out of the building.

The site also publishes supporting material for buyers: a guide to building a shed base, a shed aftercare section, an installation guide, delivery information and a statement of the company's guarantee. These pages sit alongside the product catalogue and address the groundwork and maintenance questions that typically accompany a timber building purchase.

Customer feedback

The reviews displayed on the site are attributed to Google and summarised as "Excellent" based on 65 reviews. Recurring themes in the published comments are the helpfulness of staff during the selection process, the punctuality of delivery and installation, the tidiness of the work, and the quality of the materials and workmanship. Several reviewers describe themselves as repeat customers, including one who replaced a shed that had been in use for more than forty years and another who returned after moving house to buy two Southwold buildings for use as an office and a summerhouse. Individual comments also name members of staff and refer to choosing a building at the Westcliff site.
