Garden sheds

The core range comes in Apex (traditional pointed roof) and Pent (single-slope roof, good against a wall or fence) styles, each with a Premium upgrade for a stronger, better-specified build. The Security range adds extra locking points and stronger doors for valuables, the Overlap range is the budget-friendly option, and the Corner Shed is designed to make use of an awkward corner plot. There's also a dedicated Storage Shed and Bike Shed if you need something more specific.

Summerhouses & potting sheds

Summerhouses are available in Apex and Pent styles, with a Premium option for a more glazed, garden-room feel. Potting sheds follow the same pattern (Apex, Pent and Premium), combining a growing/potting area with storage.

Log cabins

Built from solid 44mm interlocking timber, Power Sheds log cabins come in Apex and Pent rooflines, as a standalone building, a single or double garage, or a Combi cabin that splits the space between a garden room and storage. A firm, level base is needed before delivery.

Pub shed

The Power Pub Shed brings a garden bar with a serving hatch, built to the same standard as the rest of the range – a popular choice for entertaining.

Getting it fitted

Every Power Sheds building is delivered direct to mainland England, Scotland and Wales, made to order. If you'd rather not build it yourself, ask us about booking an approved Power Sheds installer in your area.

Pergolas, gazebos and log stores

Power Sheds also make outdoor extras: the Power Pergola, the Power Apex Gazebo, the Power Log Store and the Power Wooden Decking Kit.

Overlap, standard or Premium: what's the difference?

Using the apex shed as an example, here's how the three levels compare. Figures are from Power Sheds' own specifications, so check each product page for the model you're looking at.

Power Sheds reviews: what people ask before buying

We don't publish star ratings for manufacturers on this page, and we'd rather give you straight answers than borrowed scores. Here are the questions people often ask about Power Sheds, answered from the manufacturer's own specifications. For what our customers say about buying from us, read our customer reviews.

Are Power Sheds any good?

Power Sheds buildings are made from high-grade Scandinavian timber on heavy-duty frames that are doubled up in key areas, with toughened safety glass in the windows. Which one is right depends on how you'll use it: Overlap for basic storage, the standard range for everyday use, and Premium for workshops and heavier use.

What does the Power Sheds guarantee cover?

Power Sheds give a 10-year guarantee, or 20 years on selected products such as the Premium range, against rot, decay and insect infestation. It relies on the building being re-treated every year and kept on a firm, level base.

Do Power Sheds come ready-built?

No. Power Sheds buildings are supplied as kits for you to assemble. If you'd rather not build it yourself, we can help you book an approved Power Sheds installer. Log cabins come with free kerbside delivery, craned off the lorry on a pallet.

What base does a Power Shed need?

A firm, level base. Concrete, paving slabs or a timber frame base all work. The Power Sheds Shed Base Kit uses UC4 pressure-treated timber rated for ground contact.

What should I check when comparing sheds?

Look at the frame size, the cladding type and thickness, whether the timber is dip-treated or pressure-treated, the floor and roof, the glazing, and what the guarantee asks of you. Our guide to the best garden sheds explains each of these, and our base guide covers what to put it on.
