Our Favourite Budget Sheds That Won’t Break the Bank

When you’re looking for a new garden shed, cost is probably going to be one of your main considerations. Happily, the sheds we have on offer here at B&M Garden Buildings combine high-quality materials and handy features with always low prices for sheds that will stand the test of time.

To help you find the perfect budget shed for you, we’ve pulled together some of our favourites. Including wooden, metal and plastic models, as well as various sizes and styles, there’s an affordable option for everyone.

 

Budget Wooden Sheds

Wooden sheds have a traditional, natural appearance that looks right at home in any garden. They’re often customisable, so you’ll get a choice about where you want features like windows and doors to be, and their wooden walls make it easy to install any shelves or hooks.

The 6’ x 4’ Forest 4Life Overlap Apex Wooden Shed is one of the cheapest in our range, but that doesn’t mean it scrimps on features. This neat little shed boasts pressure-treated wood that you’ll never need to retreat, a whopping 25-year anti-rot guarantee and a 12mm solid wooden floor that’s much stronger than most shed floors on the market. It’ll make the ideal home for garden tools, lawnmowers and everything else you need to keep your garden looking great.

If pent sheds are more your thing, then another top pick is the 7’ x 5’ Forest 4Life Overlap Pent Wooden Shed. This shed has a lot of the same features as the 6x4 apex model, but with a couple of key differences: two shatterproof windows and a sloping pent roof. Both enjoy a fully modular design for easy assembly and an overall stronger shed.

Or for a bit more interior space, we’d recommend the 8’ x 6’ Forest Beckwood Apex Wooden Shed. You can choose exactly where you want the braced security door and shatterproof windows to go, while the shiplap cladding and sturdy frame make this a strong shed that will stand up to the worst of the British weather. You’ll also get pressure-treated wood, Forest’s market-leading 25-year anti-rot guarantee and a 12mm tongue and groove floor for good measure!

Budget Metal Sheds

Metal sheds are known for being difficult to break into, being low maintenance and having lengthy guarantees. They’re also great value for money, with some of our best budget options coming from industry expert Yardmaster.

Take, for example, the 6’ x 4’ Yardmaster Pent Metal Shed. Made from hot-dipped galvanised steel, this sleek silver shed is virtually maintenance-free and comes with a 10-year anti-rust guarantee. Overlapping sliding double doors give you easy access inside and the anti-tamper bolts and padlock fixing push the shed’s security level even higher. You definitely won’t need to worry about your tools or equipment with the 6x4 Yardmaster.

The 8’ x 5’ Yardmaster TopLight Pent Metal Shed boasts many of the same features underneath its pent roof. The addition of translucent Perspex top panels flood the shed’s interior with natural light, ventilation holes help with air flow and the 15-year guarantee means you won’t need to worry about replacing this shed for a long time.

Finally, we love the 10’ x 8’ Yardmaster Green Metal Shed. Again, this model has a lot in common with the two sheds we’ve mentioned so far – low maintenance, galvanised steel build, lockable double doors – as well as a few standout features of its own. These include an apex roof with high gables, offering generous headroom, and seven layers of non-corrosion protection to help keep your shed looking great for years.

Budget Plastic Sheds

Plastic sheds are arguably the easiest shed type to assemble and are also known to be very low maintenance, with UV-protected plastic that won’t fade or become brittle in the sun and heat. Our range of Palram plastic sheds gives you plenty of top budget options to choose from.

The 6’ x 3’ Palram Canopia Grey Skylight Plastic Shed may be small, but it’s also made from virtually unbreakable plastic, comes with a 10-year guarantee and features unique skylight roof shingles that let in plenty of light. Its slim form will slot easily into your garden while still providing more than enough room for all the gardening necessities.

For slightly more footage wrapped up in a different style, there’s the 4’ x 6’ Palram Canopia Grey Skylight Pent Plastic Shed. The sloping pent roof means this is a shed that’s most at home up against a fence line or brick wall and the 10-year guarantee means it’ll be there for years to come. This guarantee is backed by unbreakable polycarbonate panels and a rust-resistant, reinforced aluminium frame, as well as all-round weatherproof protection.

Or if you’re after a bit more colour in your life, have a look at the 6’ x 5’ Palram Canopia Dark Green Skylight Plastic Shed. A strong polycarbonate build, skylight roof and 10-year guarantee can also be found here, along with lockable double doors for easy access. Plus a natural dark green finish that will help the shed to blend seamlessly into your garden.
