Okay so sheds aren’t exactly expensive nowadays, but you can save a considerable amount of money by building one yourself, and you’re more likely to get better build quality, depending how good you are at DIY. I bought all of the materials from my local Wickes and it only cost me around £400. It’s built with security in mind, so there are no windows, while the hinges are concealed. I used a template online as a guide, and it was actually relatively easy to make, the only problem was the weather! The wood used is a mixture of 4×2, 3×2 and 2×2, while the roof is constructed of oriented strand board, also known as OSB. No rain has leaked in as yet and I’m incredibly proud of my shed, and even more proud of the fact that I may have saved myself hundreds of pounds.
