Understand internal versus external floor dimensions clearly — Shildon
Shildon buyers should check both external footprint and internal usable floor area: internal dimensions are often 40–80mm less per side because of framing, cladding and skirting. When planning storage or placing a workbench, measure internal width and depth to confirm clearance for doors and shelving; allow at least 600mm between bench face and opposite storage for comfortable work. Factor in floor build-up—boards, joists and any insulation—when confirming headroom and ramp gradients. Confirm fixing points and doorway opening swing on the specified external size so the internal layout functions as intended. For metal sheds buyers, confirm the exact specification and delivery postcode before purchasing.
These are general considerations, not an assessment of an individual property. BuySheds confirms product-specific availability using your postcode.

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.
