Best metal sheds

A garden shed is an essential addition to the garden if you have space. Not only are they a great place to store tools; you can also keep compost, pots and seeds out of the elements with a spacious shed. Whether you're looking for something stylish or practical we're likely to have a solution in our piece on the best garden sheds.

Although many people prefer the look of a wooden shed, if you have a modern garden or you're looking for something that is low maintenance and doesn't require painting, a metal shed could be the perfect option.

How long do metal sheds last?

Lots of the options on our list come with a 10+ year guarantee, but they're likely to last much longer. Metal is a sturdy material not prone to rot like wooden sheds so can last many years.

Why are metal sheds good value for money?

Metal sheds are cheaper to produce than other options on the market and they need less up-keep than a wooden shed that will need painting every few years, making them cheaper in the long run too.
