Choosing a shed for established gardens in Canterbury
Canterbury has historic surroundings as well as more modern residential areas. If the property has heritage or conservation constraints, check the individual rules before placing a visible garden building.
For a smaller walled garden, compare narrow sheds with doors positioned for the actual approach. Choosing a less bulky building can preserve seating space while still accommodating garden tools and bicycles.
For metal sheds, check ventilation, condensation control, anchoring instructions and door opening width.
This is general buying guidance, not a site assessment. Confirm the selected building, postcode delivery options and any property-specific restrictions before purchasing.

Delivery, installation and preparation
Delivery options vary by product and postcode. Installation is available on selected garden buildings. Always check the product's base requirements before ordering and make sure there is suitable access to the delivery or installation area.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the usable garden area and allow space for access, doors, roof overhangs and maintenance. It is usually better to allow some spare internal storage space rather than buying to the exact minimum.
Can installation be arranged?
Installation is available on selected buildings. Availability depends on the product, postcode and base conditions, so our team will confirm the details before the order proceeds.
Do I need a base?
Yes. Every shed or garden building should stand on a firm, level and well-drained base. The base is the foundation underneath the building; it is different from the internal floor supplied with some sheds. Common options include concrete, paving slabs, timber frames and plastic base systems. Shop shed bases →
Do I need planning permission?
Many garden buildings in England can be installed under permitted development rights, subject to height, position and coverage limits. A key rule is that a building within 2 metres of a boundary is generally limited to 2.5 metres overall height. Listed buildings, flats and some restricted or designated properties need extra checks.
