A stunning blue was chosen for this 8 foot x 6 foot shed that we delivered to Winchester. Set in the garden of a beautiful house. the window style and slate roof ensure it fitted in perfectly.

Tucked away in the corner of this London garden, our cedar shed is now the focal point of the outside dining area.
Clad in 20mm thick tongue and groove, this shed also has cedar corner posts (4" square), fascia boards and barge boards (4"x 2"), in fact all externally visible timber is cedar. Secured with stainless steel fixings, and sat on recycled plastic bearers, this beautiful garden shed has a very long life ahead of it. Over time the cedar will silver to give a rustic and mellow look - something a little different to our norm, and something we will certainly be doing again. A very light and airy garden building delivered to Buckinghamshire. The crosses below the window give a little bit of subtle detail to this beautifully proportioned design.
This is a colour combination we have used before, and it seems to always look good in any location. The lovely couple who commissioned it will be using it as a small artist's studio. Thank you to Deborah for sending over this photo, the first day of rain and the Corten has done it's thing!
It may look fairly simple but the best is yet to come. The roof is Corten, so will fairly quickly corrode to a lovely brown. The cladding is larch, so will silver. The hardwood windows and door were made by a joiner local to us, they will also silver.
In the not too distant future the shed will look as if it's been there for many many years, and is built in such a way that it will indeed, be there for many year, like all of our products! The beautiful garden is in fact a work in progress and the shed will be accessed by a winding path and be softened further by some newly plated trees. All very nice. This beautifully designed shed was delivered to a former winner on the television program "Shed of the Year'. The design was a collaboration between the two of us, and incorporates an external log store under the right hand window.
Whilst bright and shiny now, the Corten will corrode to a lovely brown colour, which totally transforms the appearance. I look forward to seeing photos of the progress! Another beautiful shed made for a retuning customer.
8 or 9 years ago Richard was one of the first people to put his trust in us, and commissioned a cedar clad shed. It was good to see that the shed showed little, if any signs of degradation, whilst the cedar had weathered to look as if it had been there for decades. This time he had some copper sheet knocking about, so we used it to clad the front under the windows. The windows are painted "verdigris", so in another 50 years or so, they'll match the copper (which already has spots of verdigris). We sourced a reclaimed copper door knob and made a matching escutcheon to finish the job. Sadly I couldn't take a nice sunny photo of this beautiful garden shed we delivered to Berkshire. We sourced reclaimed doors and had a circular window made. The effect was lovely, far better in real life.
This beautiful building found it's way up to Northumberland, and is a retirement present to our customers.
It's fair to say, despite the photos, the location is exposed, from the front you can see for miles and miles. As with all of our sheds it's built to last and I'm sure it'll withstand the battering it's undoubtedly going to get. |
