Fitting sheds around existing planting and beds — How Wood
How Wood gardeners should map existing shrubs, tree roots and irrigation before fixing a shed location so planting and structure don’t compete. Sit the building where roots won’t be severed; if unavoidable, choose a shallow foundation system that minimises root disturbance. Allow circulation space between beds and walls for watering and pest checks, position doors and windows to avoid overhanging branches, and install a slightly raised, well-drained base to prevent water wicking into soil-planted edges. Secure fixings to the base rather than soft ground and include vents to protect stored items from damp. For metal sheds buyers, confirm the exact specification and delivery postcode 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.
