• What is the best base for a timber shed?

  The best base for a timber shed depends on your specific needs, but popular options include concrete slabs, paving slabs, and plastic grid systems. Concrete offers durability and stability, while plastic grids provide excellent drainage and are eco-friendly. For larger sheds, a concrete base is often recommended for its long-term strength and level surface.

• What tools will I need to build my garden shed?

  Essential tools for building a garden shed include saws, a hammer, a spirit level, a tape measure, and safety goggles. You'll also need stakes, carpenter's pencils, a line level, and a shovel for ground preparation. Don't forget a post hole digger if you're installing support posts, and ensure you have an ample supply of nails and screws.
