Tucked away in the corner of this lovely natural garden is this stunning Corten metal clad shed. The Corten metal cladding is designed to go rusty, the rust then forms a protective barrier over the rest of the material, slowing down further decay. Supplied to us in a silver colour, the rain causes the rust to form, and as you can see, being in Devon it went pretty rusty on the first night! Eventually all the cladding will be the same colour as the roof.

We delivered this super garden shed to Esher in Surrey.
A nice touch are the crosses below the windows and in the bottom half of the door. The door was made by a joiner local to us, from hardwood, it really does add to the building. Once again, it rained, and the gutters worked. This lovely garden shed we clad in larch, with a cedar roof. Over time both will go grey, to match the houses to either side.
We can confirm it doesn't leak and the gutters work. We saw this absolutely beautiful wooden studio when installing a shed in Surrey last week. Made by a firm called Boulton and Paul, it is now used as a studio, but was originally a taxi office at a local railway station. Boulton and Paul were a pre war manufacturer of all sorts of pre fabricated buildings. Interestingly they also built aircraft.
Anyway, with such impeccable taste in sheds it was very nice to be asked to supply a beautiful shed for this customer's wooded garden. It's fairly obvious that you can spend less money buying garden buildings from other firms (or considerably more too!), so I thought this little garden store perfectly represented our ethos, and shows what you get with a Wood and Space product.
The photo tells the story, proper 2x2 frame in this instance, 4 inch corner posts, 25mm thick floor boards, 4x2 bracing to the door and a gate lock to keep everything secure. As a result of this level of build quality our products are robust and extremely durable. They may not be the cheapest but you hopefully won't need another! As can be the case, some chaps accumulate rather more stuff than they have room for. We are always on hand to supply a second (or third) garden building, as we did in this instance, to keep matrimonial harmony!
Quite literally buried at the bottom of this beautiful South Devon garden is this lovely contemporary garden shed. The high level, full length window allows useful storage underneath whilst maintaining a good level of natural light inside.
Nestled at the bottom of an urban garden is this lovely, simple garden shed. Plain weatherboard coupled with unpainted (but wood preserved) window and door, and a cedar roof ensures this classic beauty will weather beautifully.
